Well, all I can say is I didn't say either of those things so something is going wrong in your quotation mmitchel_houston.

Here is the quote #4237743 that you have referenced.

So, what I want to know is if 4.9 is also going to coincide with Michael 7 / Genesis 3 Male. If so, that leaves me looking very uneasily toward DAZ Studio 5 and the probable introduction of Genesis 4 in a year at most.

That's my biggest issue with DAZ, to be honest. I don't mind the DAZ Connect move, and the DIM didn't really bother me either. What bothers me is the pace of the content treadmill. It seem that it's been getting steadily faster, with periods between generations of figures shortening. Maybe I'll just bow out of the whole thing, play with the toys I have, and maybe jump back on the treadmill with generation 8.

I tend to find this one is also a bit of a misnomer. Sure the pace of content development seems to be increasing, but that would just offer more content choice wouldn't it. I still use Genesis and Genesis 2 quite a bit and I hear some also like V4 for some reason. Just because newer products arrive doesn't make the old ones redundant or in any way less useful. I know when I buy a computer, that pretty much before I power it on there will likely be a newer faster system available for the same price I paid. But I don't buy a computer to be the fastest forever, I purchase it to do a job and as long as the system can do that job for me for a number of years, I'm happy with it. I have no issue that newer faster models are arriving, in fact I just find it somewhat exciting that when I do choose to upgrade that the development has kept pushing the edge and I'm going to have a new faster and more powerful beast to put to work. A few of the software packs I use are also back a few versions from the latest too.

IMO What would be even scarier is to be stuck with the same level of tech or figure base for over ten years, while seeing very little advancement in the tech, wait a sec when was V4 made... ;)
