I'm not defending the new management's plan as good or successful. Just saying what I perceive it to be... and I could be wrong. kerwin isn't the only Daz vendor who has spoken of "broken trust." One vendor told me a few weeks ago she is getting nervous that her Genesis products are not selling as she expected, and she hopes this giveaway will turn things around.

Honestly, we should hope it does, even if Genesis never becomes something we can use painlessly in Poser. Indirectly, we need Daz to be successful. The fewer "mainstream" players in our hobby, the less incentive there is for innovation, and for keeping prices reasonable.

As for the Daz Marketplace, well, for me personally it has become less and less worthwhile to visit. I have pretty much sucked what I wanted out of their back catalog, and there is not enough new coming out for V4, or props / scenes that interest me. I still look a coiuple times a week, and occasionally there's an Instant Alert that tempts me at the price. But often I go away disappointed, money unspent.

Which is probably just as well, I have about 50 discount purchases from Daz and Rendo that I haven't even installed yet. Now that's pathetic!
