Quote - Not only is the economy slow, many people didn't take to Genesis quite the way Daz probably hoped. That's gotta impact sales quite a bit.
Yes. Also, by making Genesis proprietary (it only works in Daz Sudio 4) they found themselves in the position of preaching to a rather small choir. Even DS3 users who tried and dropped DS4 had to decide between doing without Genesis or using a prog they didn't like. The same choice as faced by many Poser users, actually.
So Genesis was being used by a limited market, and sales of Genesis content must have been limited as well. A simple math problem, which they tried to solve by making DS4 free. It's so simple, I don't know why we are trying to find more complex motives.
