At this point I wouldn't put it past them to have a timebomb coded in 4.23 if not earlier versions so if you don't update each time there's a new release your program starts falling apart and when it eventually becomes subscription only, anyone who doesn't keep really old versions of Studio on hand will end up either subscribing or not being able to use their content anymore.

I have DAZStudio blocked at the firewall, I have ever since I heard about the AI garbage. I canNOT trust AI to be used for good when it comes to artists.

They tried moving to subscription content when they released the Connect DRM, but the backlash was too much then. Now they're trying again.

Yeah, I kinda missed that (I either wasn't paying attention, or I was using Poser).
