Quote - Also Daz is going to be going through another retirement phase, but they are retiring VERY old items , (V1).
**No, absolutely not!! DAZ called it off!!

Several Platinum Club members (myself included) put a ton of pressure on them to call it off. We also threw out several ideas on how to get the PC items to sell better. So I think between the two, they realized it was better to call it off and rethink things. I doubt they expected such a strong backlash.
DAZ just extended the sale and never changed the name. For example, the droid was on the reitement sale list but it's still availabe: http://www.daz3d.com/i/shop/itemdetails/?item=973.
Steve (SKondris) made the announcement in the Members Only forum afternoon of the 24th. Here are some relevant excerpts:
Quote - Ok, so we've decided not to retire any items from the Platinum Club. We will extend the sale, as stated earlier, so it will not expire until the end of the month.
-- and --
Quote - No other waves are planned - so let loose and buy all you want. :-)
