Sorry, but I paid for ds3a, like give them money. 4 came out, then they tried to sell 4.5, and it doesn't take a genius to figure that if 4.5 didn't sell, gene was DOA. OR, in simple terms, they give ds4.5 as a freebie to keep gene from disappearing. Without 4.5, most of the features that you see touted for gene aren't available. With the ds4.5 documentation (Bwahahahahaha!) they still aren't available. Dson doc? I have no idea and no inclination to look to see if they managed to put a couple of postits up somewhere.
The vendors will continue to support V4 and older as long as it sells. With the daz record of bug fixes for ds, it's going to sell for a long time to come.
Doric.
I won't argue with you there. V4 will sell for a long time as long as there is demand for its content. Look how long the Playstation2 lasted. Sony only stopped manufacturing it last year I think after being around for 13 years. It has the biggest userbase in history. V4 is the same in terms of figures, so there is lots of life left.
