Bondware could actually publish " a sort of counter " on how many copies are sold of Poser, usually it is a pretty profitable system and propaganda for a product. This could also attract new creators, naturally depending on the amount of sold copies. For creators it sure is more motivating to see 1000, 10'000, 100'000, 1'000'000 sold letting them estimate if it is worth supporting the app. Ok if it is just 100 then they might not even bother to make new assets.

From my side I noticed almost a 95% drop down of poser support since the beginning of 2023 might be even more, this brings it to a point to think that already spending time to publish a Item even if it was made is not profitable in any way. Sure still creating but then all the work to publish, packing, making good promos ending up not to be very motivating if the creations just lays there as a Dust-catcher in the net.

It all might be due the actual financial situation that happen globally, but when I see how much interest there is for DS then I rather doubt that this would be the main reason. This brings a creator to a point changing the application as with the knowledge for 3D is normally good enough for other programs, considering that these other Programs need to be used to create poser assets, poser is mainly just the presentation tool for the finished Item.
