Read on the DAZ forum from a DAZ rep they can't give out the price. See "absurd".

I think DAZ marketing has taken a hike too. Does anyone there actually know what they are doing now?

Marketing should be taking this time to create a void, yet if you aren't active on the carraracafe you never would have known this. DAZ actually stickied a thread started by a user, rather then announce it themselves on the DAZ forum.

I see no one pushing it, no one showing it off, no one making claims about it's greatness; well dartenbeck is lol. But really, why isn't DAZ marketing hyping this?

Look at Hivewire3d. They created a void for Dawn, had people chomping at the bit. When she was released the download demand crashed the server, repeatedly.

DAZ's news about the impending release of C8.5 amounted to a popcorn fart in the breeze.

The only thing DAZ has managed to do is make people aprehensive about the pricing. Note to DAZ marketing, that does not sell units.

Dear Hivewire, start saving your money, DAZ may be on the market, sooon. Of coarse wouldn't that be like buying your old used car back?
