(Correcting an error of fact - Smith Micro did not develop the Genesis figure. Also removed the implication that Poser is somehow better than Daz Studio.)

** And now there's the new redesign of the commenting system, removing subject lines and changing the way icons work so they'll only show up if there's one keyword. The subject line thing in particular has really [[Unfortunate Implications]], as they're often used to denote triggering material in a comment.

* While Poser's new editions tend to be met with mostly positive community reactions, Poser's cousin DAZ Studio <s>(which is essentially a freeware stripped-down version that uses the same content)</s> tends to explode whenever a new version is released. DAZ Studio 4 sent angry ripples across the community when it first became available both for stability issues and a very different content layout. The poster child feature of the release (a system to re-fit clothing and props between characters of different sizes and genders) was locked away at a price of almost US$100 (half for loyalty program members).
* In the realm of introductory-level 3D-image creation software (Poser, Daz Studio, Blender when not being used for content creation, etc.) DAZ Studio tends to explode whenever a new version is released.

** Many Web communities, such as ShareCG, also host 'model loyalty'. When previous primary base figures Victoria 3 and Michael 3 were re-released as Victoria 4 and Michael 4, many Poser and DS fans became enraged because the new models didn't fit into the old V3/M3 clothing, hair and props. Since a longtime Poser/DS artist might have hundreds of dollars of content for the previous 'main' models, these users often rage at the new content and stick to their old kits. Fear of this was palatable when Smith Micro announced Genesis: a single, androgynous model for DAZ Studio 4 to replace all past models. This was less severe when SM announced that Genesis would be backward-compatible with previous version clothing.

* [[Deviant ART]] receives a giant influx of complaints annually every time a new version of the site is launched, most recently with its 7th iteration. So far, over 3,000 deviants have "rejected" this news. Made even more ridiculous by the fact that version 7 brings very little changes compared to the switch from 5 to 6. Yet people seem to flip out more than back then.

** To be fair, the main complaint seemed to be that the "search" bar had been removed for some reason. It has been returned to us, and the complaining has, for the most part, stopped.

* Retro Junk recently had its layout changed, and some sections are gone. It doesn't even look like the site that members knew and loved.
