Yes, that's true, but seems that DAZ is leaving all his other software covered with dust in a corner of the room and has only eyes for DS...

It's pretty common for a software house to buy up the competition to kill it through attrition.

In this case, though, DAZ saved Bryce from extinction and saved Carrara and Hexagon from heading that way. Carrara's popularity was dropping off, except for the diehards, when eovia decided to unload Carrara along with Hexagon to DAZ and move back to Europe. I had Carrara a couple years before the sale and it was frustrating to watch them start sliding. I only stayed with them because DAZ bought them, otherwise I would've saved my money and eventually bought (probably around now as it would've taken this long to save enough) XSI or 3ds Max.

Note of that has any bearing on WHY they purchased the software, however.

All that proves is that people like me were stupid enough to keep paying for it (yep, bought Carrara 8) without documentation and any promise of a future.

So, now they're done with Bryce.  And Hexagon.  Announced it is so. 

At least those of us on the sidelines, no longer investing in DAZ product, can see the writing on the wall.
