Hazard of subscription software: Pantone colours and Adobe subscription software. It's not exactly off topic but enough that if you don't know what I'm talking about you don't do professional grade publication. Look it up.

What possible use is having a free version of depreciated software that has been completely rewritten to enter the modern world? Outdated rendering engines, outdated Python which is a big deal to any Poser user, no modern figure access. The list goes on. What possible advantages are there to enforcing the practices that Poser has moved away from? No not a typo. I mean enforcing.

The normal pricing of Poser is not such that the bank will break and food for the young ones is left off the dining table. I see folks spending that much on content each month. Buy a "bundle" package from DAZ and you are not getting away for under $100. On a sale. The complaint about an unknown upgrade price, when the previous upgrade was half the sale price of a figure bundle is just bait.
