"Everyone seems to have forgotten about the web based version of DS4. BTW, you can still see demos of it on UTube if you dig around for it.
The original plan was that the content that you purchased at DAZ would reside on servers in Utah, and it would be pushed to your computer for your use - and deleted after you were done. This was DAZ's method of dealing with the casual piracy issue.
Needless to say, that went over like a popcorn fart in church and DAZ wisely dropped the idea."
Of course they Did
But Amazingly years later Companies Like Autodesk& Adobe are implementing a similar scheme with their actual high end professional Software Suites despite the griping of many.
Each market is Different
However My personal Theory is that Daz Realized the following:
'Why rent a car to people who are willing to simply outright buy the same Cars over and over again as long as it has a higher version number and some superficial "new features"
Nothing new here Samsung,Apple et al does the same with their premium Smartphone lines& mobile OS's.
And people ,by and large, submit willingly.
Look at how quicksome* poser users have
jumped on the "Genesis 3" bandwagon
when they never truly got fully functional
G1,G2 Female jack hammered into poser.
So predictable.
