" I am sure DAZ found a way to coerce both vendor and User."

That's a bit offensive isn't it? Coerce means to persuade (an unwilling person) to do something by using force or threats.

DAZ3D or Daz Studio didn't force or threaten anyone to do anything. Vendors and PA's make these decisions of their own free will and it usually is to switch to a more viable platform based on their own experience. Not any 3rd party pressure.

The tone of this site is clearly aimed more to Poser users than Daz Studio anyway. Poser has 5 forums here, DS has 1, 99% of tutorials here are for Poser, Most news published here is Posercentric. Look at the front page, I see numerous mentions of Poser not a single mention of DS or Daz3D. This site sells Poser. The only thing that really isn't entirely Poser focused is the content that is created by 3rd party developers in the marketplace. And I would say without the use of force or threats they are free to create for whichever platform they chose to. Whether Poser, DS or Audio Sound bites if that's what they enjoy.
