Two sides two the same coin, yes it was advertised and yes it was pulled.  On the other side it was made clear a few weeks before, by newsletter and other means, that this aspect had been pulled.  I was not interested personally but even I knew it had been pulled and it was also made clear this was an early release with updates to follow.  No one should have purchased Poser 13 expecting it to be other than what is was.  A far cry then from SM's performance when they quietly introduced the deactivation feature in Game Dev where users only found out six months after purchase when their copy of Poser stopped working.

I stated earlier that there was little I could argue with in the review and I stand by that.  It is certainly not a trashing of Poser and many parts of the review it is very complementary of both Poser and the development team.  So heavily critical, yes.  Fair, maybe,  a complete downer on Poser 13 not as far as I can see.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
