Quote - Here another observation for you: Most of the new content which is now sold at the DAZ store is for Genesis. I think this is the first month were this is the case.

Have you actually counted the items, rather than relying on the store search, which is, to put it kindly, rather lame?  In another thread, someone said that "most" of the Christmas freebies were for Genesis-- without having bothered to count them first.  As it turned out, that was dead-wrong.

Even if it's true that "most" of the new items are for Genesis, that's hardly surprising.  Whenever a new figure comes out, there's a period where a large portion (I won't say "most" because I haven't actually counted) of the new figure-related products are for that new figure.  It happened when V3 came out, it happened when M3 came out, it happened when the Girl came out, it happened when V4 came out, and so on. 

Yes, it's true that DAZ originated as a company supplying content for Poser, and it's also true that, for the first several years of DAZ's existence, Poser users accounted for the preponderant bulk of DAZ's revenue, and they still account for a very large part of DAZ's revenue, perhaps the larger part of it.  No one disputes that, and no one with a brain would want DAZ to stop providing Poser content. 

However, as has been said many times now, DAZ can't make Genesis work in Poser because Poser doesn't have the same rigging/weight-mapping/subdivision system that Genesis uses.  Those who want Genesis to work in Poser should be talking to Smith Micro, not DAZ, because Smith Micro is the only one who can decide whether or not to adopt the technology that would enable Genesis to work in Poser.

One might ask, why should Smith Micro do that?  What's in it for Smith Micro?  Well, simply this:  Poser is only as useful as the content available for it.  How popular would Poser be today if Zygote and DAZ had never existed-- if the whole line of DAZ figures had never existed-- if all the content for those figures had never existed?

There's no way to know, but I suspect that if it hadn't been for DAZ and its very popular figures and all their add-on products, there would be far fewer people using Poser than there are.  So-- while it's true that DAZ owes its very existence to Poser and Poser users, it's also true that Poser owes much of its popularity (such as it is) to DAZ and its figures and their add-ons.  Revising Poser to include the DS4/Genesis technology might not benefit Smith Micro "directly," in terms of receiving revenues from content, but it would certainly benefit SM in terms of making Poser more versatile and appealing to end users.
