Quote - I am not too sure it is Genesis that is killing Daz, only time will tell but the PC is another matter, stopped my membership months before Genesis arrived purely because I was not getting any benefit from it.

I know I was certainly not the only one to stop my PC memebership in the last year. Changes to the PC membership itself did not appear to help neither did the problems with the Daz web site.

Same here. I ran out of interest in the PC and I think they stopped the renewal voucher or something so I didn't bother to renew. Then DS4 and PP2012 promo stuff started to appear and I thought I'd take a look at both and decide which to go for. Never used Poser before and only used DS2 mainly to get figures into Vue (I'd bought DS3 and used it twice). I looked at DS4/Genesis and found nothing interesting. I looked at PP2012 and was totally gobsmacked! Easy decision :)
So far Daz haven't done anything to tempt me to buy anything else from them. A few of the vendors I used to buy from at Daz have moved and the prices there seem to be higher than elsewhere so I don't see any reason to buy there. Sending me emails advertising Genesis stuff and sales that apparently don't work terribly well isn't working on me as a marketing ploy. The emails I've been getting since the launch of the new site seem to have an air of desperation about them. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's just the impression I get.
