I say this again. My biggest concern isn't daz going DRM. Hell Daz could make a usb dongle that a butt plug. That you must insert into your ass at all time in order to use Daz 4.9 That be no problem to me. I just stick to 4.8. Now what worries me if Daz went to Hivewire,rendoerotica, runtime,and even here an force these stores to use Daz connect on their products. Or Daz simply buy them put em into it ecosystem. Maybe Daz will simply no longer allow non-Connect products to be imported into their software, thus making it impossible to purchase DS content outside of Daz3d. Then I have no choice but to go to Daz 4.9. Then again there Poser and Adobe fuse.
