Again, this is just not true, Investors don't run companies unless ,individually, they hold a majority of the companys equity. Companies are ran by a managements team and report to their investors.
That's quibbling; the stakeholders collectively own the company, and the board is chosen by the investors. They then hire the managers
I bear no malice towards DAZ; I'm a long-time PC Member who has used Studio from version 1.8 and continue to use it when it is the best tool for the job at hand.
Your comment actually is the point I was trying to make (in DAZ' defence, if you will) that keeps getting buried in minutae; DAZ is no longer the cozy art company run by Dan and Chris, which it really was when I first got into it; it is a business now run purely for the bottom line, as their investors are in it to sell high at some point, so people shouldn't feel puzzled or betrayed when they don't act like the"'Old DAZ"; it's just business...
EDIT; Forgot my source; Mark Solon is or was with HWY 21, which seems to be inactive. It's really difficult to determine stakes of private companies, as they are not required to report them, as publicly traded companies are, so apparently my list of current investors is incomplete, but NTT Docomo is certainly one of them. I apologize if anyone bought stock in NTT on the basis if my statements...
