Seems they even managed to get Poser users to buy Genesis clothing before they could even use Genesis which seems to be some pretty nifty marketing!

Quote - Daz have a fair choice of period costumery... and would appear to be shifting it. They do seem to coordinate their releases... it's all quite 1950s over there the last while, in terms of historical gear.

appear being the keyword.  Daz marketing is 95% about hype and maintaining appearances.

their Genesis and D|S 4 gambit was a train-wreck that almost put Daz under yet on the surface they were acting like it was hugely successful and profitable.

if it were, Genesis wouldnt be in Poser right now, D|S wouldnt still be free, and they wouldnt be laying off their staff left and right.  

i laughed so hard i actually peed myself a little in the thread where customers were speculating that Daz's latest 'big announcement' was that they were buying out Smith Micro.

Why do you keep selectively quoting me to miss out the bits where I'm talking about SM's failure to promote their own figures? That is the entire point of almost everything I've written on this thread today and yet you keep trying to make it look as though I'm complaining about content creators. What's the point in that? You know I support your products so why do you have this problem with me (or anyone else) wishing they had better support?
