It's a possiblity. But at this point it is all specutaion. DAZ hasn't given any more then the already known sketchy details.

Just because other options weren't mentioned doesn't mean there wont be any. As I've said, it would be rather foolish of DAZ to only offer this as an option, it would cost them far more customers then they can aford to lose. If that is what happens DAZ's name can be added to other companies that made horrably bad desisions. Like those that chose to support betamax or laser disc instead of VHS.

Locking in studio customers just means locking out everyone else. And I think the "everyone else" out numbers the Dazzers.

Buying through Studio is all kinds of wrong. A hicup or glitch, or your 5 year could cost you dearly. I don't see DAZ doing this ether, it would cause far more problems then it would solve. DAZ would end up havinge more returns then sales. Anyone play MMO's? How often to you hear about someones game getting hacked and them loosing all their in game credts? Would this be any different?

 

But the thing is DAZ will never know what the DAZ community thinks of this because unless they come here, they are ignorent of it, and with the forum policy, it's not like any one can tell them. My X did the same thing. Always waited till the last minute to give me bad news, even though she knew far in advance. KnocK, knock "oh did I tell you my mother was coming over"? And never understood why I got so mad about it.
