Okay. So first of all, Wolf, you don't know what people are spending or not spending. I've observed the exit of some historically spendy regulars for various reasons over the last few months. I know they spent because over time, they've talked about what they've purchased and how much they've spent. I have no reason to think they're lying. I also tend to believe the people who have said they've stopped spending because of the NFTs. I've had enough contact with them in the forum to conclude they're people of generally good character and likely doing exactly what they say. Until someone can prove otherwise, there's no reason to doubt them, let alone cast aspersions the way you are now.

Second of all, you have no idea how Poser is doing under Bondware's ownership. Neither do I. As I haven't bought or used recent Poser, there is a lot I can't/won't say about that. In the same way, the reallusion products look interesting, but I have not spent money on them, either. So I have no opinion. But I do detect you looking down on DS users again, as if you're somehow better. It's apparently a habit with you. I've seen it many times now.

What you say about DS users is not universally true. Your verbiage reflects poorly on you and frankly erodes my respect for you. Perhaps that makes no difference, but I'm asking you to understand that lots of people use DS for lots of reasons, the same way people use Poser, Reallusion products, Blender, 3DS Max or any other program you care to name. And the people using DS have skills ranging from none to great, same as with any other program.

Finally, your conclusion about Daz company is based on nothing. Daz is a privately held company. Their financials are not public knowledge. They could be well off, or they could be in dire straits. Either way, we don't know. And that's all any of us can say about it. Until something else happens to provide any information, it's all guessing.
