I'm sorry, Laurie, but I don't think this logic is sound.  I know lots and lots of Poser users who simply refuse to do business with DAZ, therefore didn't follow their favorite vendors at all.

I love Ken's birds, but DAZ doesn't get my money, so I did without new birds as long as he was at DAZ exclusively.  The same with LisaB's plants.  True with Jack Tomalin as well.

I just did without as long as the only way to get their products were through DAZ. 

Lots of folks have a problem with the idea of supporting unethical businesses with their money - that's what boycotts are all about.

 

I agree with both of you. Some Poser (and even DS3) users have been boycotting Daz since Genesis came out. I'm not one of them. I don't visit anywhere near as much as I used to with the drop in Gen 4/Poser support, but if one of my very few favorite vendors there has something new that I can use, without jumping through hoops, I buy it. I see it more as supporting friends and favorite artists whose work I love, rather than supporting business decisions by Daz that I don't like and don't agree with.
