How am I an untapped market when I don't buy anything at all? It's not that I have a big urge to consume stuff and there is no stuff that I want to consume - I stopped being a consumer and became a producer. If there is something I want, then I model and rig it (and usually either give it away or sell it). Maybe you didn't mean me in particular though, or content producers in general, I dunno.
I meant it more generally. You said something about us not contributing demand simply because we are not buyers. I just don't think that's how marketing departments think. If I were DAZ, I'd be immensely interested in people's reasons to stop buying my products. For all I know, it might be quite easy to change my marketing or extend my product range just a little bit in order to catch their interest again. Also, I'd be very keen on keeping my current customers from running away, as well.
Of course it might not be lucrative for DAZ to cater specifically to people like you, or me, or Laurie. But that's a different story.
