*The reason behind  this, is that they want to make there huge store of content available for gamemakers.

*Let's rephrase that a bit...... the reason behind this money, lot's of money. Game developers (pro and indie a like) spent much more money on buying 'content' for the games then poserdom ever could. It's a huge market and DAZ wants a cut of that market. The poser market is slowly but surely getting saturated and seems to be going in cirlces for a while now. Nothing new, but the same old released in a slighty different way.

By the way it's not a new thing, DAZ has announced this move a few months back already, but for some reason there hardly seems to be discusssion on this coming move.

Also note that DAZ is actually only copying (as usual) others. EF tried this already about a year before Smith Micro took over. They failed for one reason or another. Again most of the community missed this completely.

Hope DAZ won't forget where it came from!

They've already forgotten where it came from. DAZ was build on Poser users, but they still often get treated like dirt and as second class citizens. If they succeed, in a few years they will treat all the current users the same, to busy making money from others. But I do seriously doubt they will succeed, if they want to, the first thing they need to do is fire the current marketing team and hire a completely new one that takes customers serious and doesn't treat them like little hyped kids. If they try to create one of their hypes amongst game developers and treat them the way they treat this community (marketing strategy-wise) they will never succeed.
