Perhaps you could post a link to the official Daz statement saying that they've stopped the development of Bryce, you seem to have access to some concrete evidence that the rest us here have yet to see. Please share it with us then we can all agree that you're right, because currently what you're saying doesn't add up - if Bryce is genuinely dead then why channel time and resources in to a bug fix, why not just leave it as is and spend the money on software they're actively developing like Carrara or DS? It's just not a sound business plan to me. I mean just recently I had to scrap my car (sniff...), I didn't pay to get it fixed up and repaired before scrapping it, it went to the great car park in the sky as it was, so I'm guessing that Daz may have something in mind other than putting it out to pasture.
