The bottom line is that DAZ (prior to Studio) was almost solely reliant on Poser for its existence, and Poser users for its continued existence. If Poser nosedives into relative obscurity due to mismanagment, DAZ is screwed. It makes sense that DAZ would want to provide an alternate means of displaying their content (on a relative par with Poser). Therefore DAZ takes steps to create Studio, albeit slowly and measuredly.
