OK we've heard from the  "Ex DS user"

But current DS users who are intersted G*****s,V5 Reality2  (LUX render Plugin)  and who know what else ( Infinito, Animate2)??),
will have to upgrade to DS4

You seem determined to Defeat me in some sort of "Debate"
 I am not here to Debate you citizen

I am a just making the  personal observation that in general it is more Difficult for the actual DS user (Not you ) to Stay with older versions of DS  and have full access the latest Content(V5 etc) and plugins.

since you have fixated on the term "Forced" Lets just say
( unlike good old poser),DAZ's lack of backward compatibility Severely limits their choices if they dont upgrade often.

Cheers

I agree with limitations....I can still use Reality and Animate in my version of DS3.  I don't, but I can.

And, I have no desire to "debate" anything.  I was just pointing out the fallacies in your argument. 

The only thing I can't use in DS3A is Genesis. 

So, I don't consider that single item as a severe limitation.

No more severe than Poser users who do not have weight mapping capablities.
