Whether or not DAZ is hurting is not a hard pill.  I'm curious about it, but I don't care either way.  (Well, I will be annoyed if they go under and whoever buys their assets no longer offers free re-downloads of past purchases.)

However, their actions suggest to me that they do miss Poser users.  Why even bother with DSON, if they don't need Poser users?  That sucker had to take up a lot of their time and resources.  Time they could have used for other things, like writing a manual for their software, or updating Bryce or Carrara or Hexagon.  Not to mention the never-ending sales, despite the promise of a new pricing model involving fewer sales.  They even gave me an annual PC membership for free.  Ten years a DAZ customer, and they never did that before.  Free weekends, sure, even a free month now and then, but a free year?
