as a longtime DAZ customer, I can see that they have treated their customers more than fairly. When something goes on sale, they reimburse previous purchasers, withing reasonable time frame. They have giveaways, and deals that can't be matched. Same when they released their version of Bryce. You couldn't beat the deals...added content, etc. I'm probably understating what they have done for their customers over the years.

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together.
All things connect......Chief Seattle, 1854
