It's the same way with free stuff.  People will download it "just in case," even if they don't really like it, don't have the figure you need to use it, and don't even know what it is.

I've gotten much better at not downloading free stuff if I'm not planning to actually use it, but I confess, I've downloaded several versions of DS and Bryce, while having no plans to actually install them, let alone use them.  Just in case.

 

Quote - It's interesting how many people say they downlioaded it not because they want it, but because they'd like upgrade pricing in case Daz Studio 5 turns out to be the best thing since indoor plumbing. (And since they're giving away DS4, it is not unreasonable to speculate they are planning some signifcant improvements they want people to pay for.)

In other words, Daz may not be getting the short-term boost in Genesis product sales as they mght expect from the sheer number of free downloads. Analogy: My wife cannot resist a item marked FREE on somebody's lawn. She'll bring it home, just in case, and it sits in the garage for years. I wonder how many free DS4 downloads are "just in case."
