I still buy content from Daz if it is good, some of the scenes are high quality and if something special appears for V4 I will buy that, put it through 3d outfitter and use it with V4WM.
I do wish Daz well and the suggestion that it loss would stifle innovation may or may not be true but there has been a lot of innovation recently. I suspect much of this innovation did not take the market in the way Daz would wish but I am only guessing.
I do also think that Daz has been unlucky in that, while the fact their new figure did not work in Poser was upsetting, the impact was greater because it appears that Poser 9/2012 was such a leap forward. I for one spent my money on 2012 long before the software was available just to get Sub-Surface Scattering after seeing the example renders at RNDA. I could see what I was spending my money on rather than going on promises. I have still not seen anything with the 'G' figure that makes me say 'I must have that', although in fairness, since V4WM I have stopped looking anyway.
I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 - Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU . The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
