I just never could see paying $99 up front, and getting absolutely nothing for it. It's still not much better with the current scheme of things. I'd be paying $7.95 a month for the privilege of spending more of my money. The $1.99 price isn't always so hot. It appears they've broken up some packages that had gone together, or would have gone together if they hadn't broken them up. Why buy 3 packages of textures for an item when you only bought one in the past? Didn't DAZ offer "non-PC" customers 30% off DAZ-created products in the past?! They called it a "Sale." We didn't need to pay $99 to get a sale price. Again, I can pay $30-50 for a membership at some subscription sites, and immediately gain FREE access to everything they make. So why would I want to pay $99, or $29.95 down, and $7.95 a month, and get NOTHING for my money?
