Quote - 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.
I am really beginning to think that you are right.
I am thinking that the DAZ PTB would dearly love to shut the Daz3D Store and Shove a Bottle of AZ down their older supportive customers of many years throats.
Why- Because all the Daz3D Store sells is Daz Products, with the exception of some software.
The AZ Store already sells Products that aren't necessarily for Daz FFiguresAnimals etc etc etc..
There is that grasping for the $$$$ thing again. Not really a problem, after all Daz is a business.
Longtime Customers can elect to vote with their Credit Card though.
Guess they want to bank on the customers they lose will be such a very small small amount in relation to the customers they gain.
