I am slowly trying to make some Poser Posts on RH to see if it will pull a little again, sure not to be compared with the DS hits but considering that the section is rather new now. I tried with some Environments and now with standalone creatures using the latest skinning technologies. One Poser Freebie, to be able to compare the download statistics between the DS and poser versions, this gives me a clue on how many are still interested in Poser.
The result was 20% of the amount of DS, watch and DL so there still is hope. Alone it would not really work this is clear, to cause that poser gets some new attention, but it might cause that some other creators start offering poser versions. Honestly sales are on the ground but not zero so there would be some efforts to be done, it might still be possible.
The downside even that Poser is a attractive platform is that users are scarred due the marketing strategies from Bondware. Not attractive Site, expensive considering the actual support from creators, Investment for models that are old and not ajour with the new poser version, and especially the Call Home leaving a bad taste to continue supporting the platform, some points that Bondware should be working on if they really want Poser to pull again. It has been 5 years now since they acquired Poser so they slowly should realize where the problems are, causing that it is not pulling like it should.
