My C5 came with the book and all the "goodies" when I opened it, I felt like it was a great purchase. I felt rewarded for my loyalty to the company. I felt "special".  Since DAZ, I feel,I don't know..."shelved".  Charge more if you must, but don't take away the option of hard copy just because it doesn't fit your business model of "total ether-product". Heck! Soon enough, you won't need to have employees!!  That's what this is about, ISN'T IT?? A money machine.

Look: DAZ is fine, but to me it feels like the difference between model making and "paint by numbers" or stick-on decals. Buy a scene, buy figures ( usually a Big -Busted V3 with a bad@ss sword) buy some props, and render. 

Like a TV Dinner.

I guess I've just lost my appetite.
