Daz got the love of the public because:

1. The Poser figures were just that bad. No morphs, hardly any clothes, etc. as mentioned before.

2. Daz brilliant marketing strategy of giving the people what they wanted (imagine that?).

3. And by getting people in the one place they couldn't resist - in their pocketbooks. Daz made Poser content "cheap" and consequently drove prices into the basement where they remain today. This is at the same time a blessing and a curse: while they definitely got more sales (volume) because of that, they cut their own profit margin and now have little money for further development on the very figures that made them what they are ;o). While it's nice for us, the users, to get things free, it costs the company money...lol. Now that the release of the Kids and less Poser compatibility has caused an uproar, I just hope no one's shot themselves in the foot ;o).
