Oh, brother.......here we go yet again.
Look -- it's been said before, and it bears saying again (perhaps some will actually HEAR it this time, although that's not likely):
If you don't like DAZ, then don't shop there.
Speaking for myself, I intend to keep right on shopping there --- and I feel safe in saying that outside of a very vocal (and very small) minority -- the vast MAJORITY of Poser users will keep right on shopping there, too. In the face of anyone else's incessant complaining to the contrary.
Now, if DAZ were to ever drop their Poser support in favor of D|S only, then they'd lose me as a customer. But I don't see any signs of such a thing happening: so I'm not particularly worried about it.
CP looks to be beginning to come into it's own in this market. Good for them. I'm inclining more and more in their direction. But that doesn't mean that I intend to abandon DAZ. Far from it. It simply means that I'll be buying from BOTH places.
I've never understood this deep-seated need that some seem to have to always be choosing up sides & then going to total war against THE ENEMY (insert dramatic drum roll here) -- whether the issue involved be over websites or over specific 3D product stores.
Whenever given individuals constantly take whacks at something: then it tells me that they've got some sort of an axe to grind. An ulterior motive. Pure and simple. If they want to hate DAZ (for whatever reason), then have at it. But I grow tired of the on-going attempts to proselytize & convert others over into the same form of bitterness. If someone chooses to define their presence in this community by what they utterly despise -- then do so. But you can count me out. I'd rather be defined by what I support.
And I support DAZ. And Renderosity. And Poserworld. And RDNA. And 3DCommune. And Poserpros. And Faerie Dreams. And CP. And.......whoever and whatever contributes to this community.
shrug But that's just me. Others are free to despise whomever and whatever they choose to despise.
Just keep in mind that in life: you tend to get what you give.
Thanks for putting on a nice sale for us, DAZ. I'll be sure to drop by and purchase something today.
Merely on general principles......although that latest character for V3 from HandspanStudios & Thorneworks has definitely caught my attention.
