Speaking of printer ink, I keep wondering why my photo-magenta runs out even though I only print in black in white... V3 and M3 for free is like drugs - you give them a sample or an entry product to get them hooked, then they come back for more. Now that every Poser user has no excuse other than preference to not have V3 and M3, sales of clothes, morphs, and other things for those figures will go up significantly, and sales of rival figures (already likely low by comparrison) will go down even more. For DAZ, it is a smart move as long as people go to them to get those add ons, or even to get a notable portion of their add ons. But even if you buy an add on from renderosity instead, the person who sold it to you is likely to then take that money and use it to buy something from DAZ... so any chain of feeding will probably work out well for them, as long as it remains active.

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
