I agree on some of your points wolf359 but sony and Daz are two different animals. Sony is huge where as Daz is a tiny outfit in comparison abd only deals with one type of product. Daz doesn't sell computers, home theaters, TV's and other large tag consumer goods world wide. However, Daz is too small to just throw business away and while they do sell other things their figures have always been their mainstay because no other company that deals in 3d content has been able to create figures as well as Daz has. Most people that buy from Daz, including myself, buy the figures and all the content to go with them. I don't seen Daz as anything else then a content provider because they are no where near being able to run with the big dogs in software.

To cut people out of their content or to make people buy programs that is able to use their content especially in a hobby market isn't smart on their part. As Dale B pointed out not in this economy and I don't see this economy getting better anytime soon. People stapped for cash are not going to ditch all their content and apps just to start all over. Maybe the fortunate few could but not the masses. I seriously doubt Daz is penny wise and dollar foolish.
