I keep biting my tongue and limiting my comments on topics such as this ... but in general I find the Poser community frustratingly unequal. That DAZ should give benefits to paying club members is only right and proper - after all, they're (we're? I'm a PC member) paying money that others aren't, they should get SOME appreciable benefits. That is why I haven't carped on about PC-only products/benefits being made available to non-members - they aren't because they're a benefit of signing up and chucking money at DAZ and then praying it'll be worth it. So far the prayers have largely been answered (I don't know of a PC member who is unhappy with whats/he has got from the old PC deal). I am however concerned with deals that appear to change, making the DAZ scene a bit like quicksand. For example, a $30 MIMIC2 rebate that, it turns out, is useable on only a fraction of items from the store. Or "hints" that suggest that we PC members will get some form of early / preferrential / benficial treatment with regard to upcoming "Big" events (of which I can only imagine Studio and perhaps Mike3 must be a part). Perhaps the marketing hyperbole is on overdrive, and the actual intention is considerably tamer and more consistent - in which case I could do with less marketing and more plain English. I don't want to be schmoozed, I want the facts, just the facts. If the truth is good, it doesn't need to be heavily sold because it'll sell itself.
