Sorry I took so long to post the results. I origingally said I would post them just after New Years. Unfortunately we had a bout of the flu just after and this is the earliest I've been able to catch up.
OK so there you go. As I mentioned of the people who read the thread, 220 answered the questionare by the deadline (I was hoping for at least 200). I posted a link to the survey at RNDA, Renderosity Poser and Studio forums, and the Daz General Community forum to keep it as balanced as poss.
As you can see quite alot of people have a fair bit of content from Daz and spend a considerable portion of thier budget there as well (as seen in question 3 & 4).
I asked people to rank the importance of the content at the Daz Store which when plotted was a bit much so I charted the #1 ranks of which figures and Morphs had a huge lead of 41% - this could explain why alot of people are just a bit ticked off about the V5 and Genesis issues Which seems to be reflected in question 7& 8.
Question 7 & 8 asked what was the level of satisfaction with the content of the Daz3D store PRIOR (Blue) and AFTER (Red) the release of the Genesis system. As you can see there was a very high level of satisfaction prior with most giving a 7-10 star rating. After the release of Genesis the satisfaction level dived with the majority giving a 5 star or less.
The other interesting comparision is questions 1 and 9. While the majority of respondants were platinum members - it was a dead heat between the Yes and No camps all the way there was never more than 5 votes between them. The deciding factor is the wait and see group. Regardless - if the numbers stay the same Daz may start taking a big hit financially soon which can be seen in the results of question 6 where 42% of the respondants said their purchases have gone down and 17% have stopped all together.
So was there any point to this? Maybe. As I said at the start I was getting tired of waiding through the posts to get an idea of what people thought of the actions Daz3D has taken.
What do you think?
