There's one day in 8 where Poser users have been invited to participate in the Christmas giveaway, with a product useable by Poser users. 

That pretty much says it all.  Poser users are not welcome, nor are they appreciated.

Nonsense.  DAZ has no control over what items are created for the "24 Days of Christmas."  That isn't done by DAZ; the items are created by individual vendors who make whatever they want to.  It just so happens that the first several items were for DAZ Studio.  So what?  There might be a string of ten items for Poser.  Would that mean that DS users aren't welcome?  No-- and neither does the string of DS items mean that Poser users aren't welcome.

On top of that, these are FREE items that vendors are making and giving away.  Nobody's forcing them to do it and they're not being paid to do it; they're doing it because they want to.  It is stupendously arrogant to criticize a free item because it doesn't work in your program of choice, or for any other "reason."  You are not "entitled" to the benefit of other people's time and work.  You are not "entitled" to get ANYthing for free.  And you are not "entitled" to complain if a free item isn't to your liking or doesn't work in your preferred program.

 

 

The problem is the MESSAGE you are delivering.  Here.  And.  There.

Thanks for reiterating my point.

There IS no "message."  Individual vendors make stuff to give away, and each one of them makes whatever he wants to, for whichever program he wants to make it for.  There are vendors who work only with Poser; there are vendors who work only with DS; there are vendors who work with both.  Should a DS vendor be told that he can't give away a gift because it's "only for DS"?  Should a Poser vendor be told that he can't give a gift because it's "only for Poser"?
