DAZ is kind of an interesting example. They are clearly courting the gaming industry, but their emphasis on pinup girls doesn't seem like a great fit for that.
See my earlier post where I detail how badly Daz/genesis is failing to gain traction in the gaming industry. in short they do not seem to understand the game dev/gaming culture.

Daz should do just a wee bit of research and ask themselves why that demographic of users are not impressed with their current Genesis content .
Desktops are still around, but more often than not they're secondary devices these days. Now how are you going to lure new users in if the first thing out of your mouth is to tell them they need to go buy a whole new (pricey!) computer just to run this stuff? Game companies can get away with it - Poser/DS cannot.
I get it... GPU rendering is the undeniable future.
Still,.. Forcing people to buy hardware from one manufacturer (NVIDIA) because they have committed to a Brute force path tracer ( IRay), and allowing PA's to sell products with several dozen 4K textures on the BOTTOM's of vehicle models, is the reason why people now think it is not possible to use a laptop for Daz studio.
