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 some circles. that is known as a hostile takeover.

American Airlines parent AMR did that with their "acquisition" of TWA.

Delta did the same with their "acquisition" of Northwest Orient.

Southwest Air Group is in the process of doing so with their "acquisition" of AirTran.

 

...business is hell and it's the customer who usually ends up paying for it.

If Daz is intent on killing Carrara and Bryce so that a "buffed-up" version of Studio could take their place, they should have just stopped development of the other two applications instead of string people along.

 

...more and more I am looking towards moving to the Poser camp.
