Don't know if Genesis is killing DAZ, but all I know traditionally as BB stated summer is a bad time for everyone selling content. For me it's not as bad as 90% but sales are mostly down about 50% for me and pick up after the summer again. I haven't used Poser or worked on any content for the last month now. The weather is nice, kids are off school, lot's of other things to do then sit behind a computer all the time. I'm sure many are like me, take a break for a while and come back when the weather turns and start rendering and creating again.
I'm also sure that abandoning Poser is hurting DAZ. I haven't bought anything at DAZ since the release of genesis, hardly anything released that interests me. It's not some kind of me punishing DAZ, it's just a result of the move DAZ made. Most items released are for genesis, so Poser users do not buy. I'm sure DAZ did some survey and research before taking the plunge, but it is a risk, you never know how a market will react. I don't blame DAZ for making the move and I do hope others will fill the gap. That's something that is happing a bit now and I'm sure that is hurting DAZ as well, more figures, so more competition, since most of those figures do work in DS.
Artwork and 3DToons items, create the perfect place for you toon and other figures!

Due to the childish TOS changes, I'm not allowed to link to my other products outside of Rendo anymore :(
Food for thought.....
