I'm a big Daz supporter although I haven't gotten the hang of Daz studio still preffer original Poser (old habits I guess) but I've been a platinum club member since day 1 and a new Art-zone members as well. I'm also a big fan of Eovia having owned carrara since the begining and Hex 1 as well. I have also preordered Hex 2. If this announcement has delayed Hex2 or delays my preorder retreval I will be pissed off. Mainly because I find it hard to believe that 2 weeks ago when the release date of Hex 2 was mid april, the the 18th to the 28th (promised to hit as close to the 18th as possible) that they didn't know this was in the works and could affect the release. I also hope that this doesn't mean that the eovia products are going to start swaying in the direction of support Daz Studio and leaving Poser behind. It's a main reason I own them now. I guess time will tell but as I get older I starting to understand the comments about change my grandparents used to quote. Not a big fan of the american greed and takeover fever. Been burned to many times in th last 10 years and seen to many of my friends let go and quality of life go down. Small businesses with great people doing great things get bought out and start worring more about %s of profit more than people and product. Fingers crossed and hoping this news turns out better than it sounds.
