Reason why they are going this route is the SANE DAZ users are sick of the direction they are going with DAZ so guess what they resort to, to getting their DAZ assets:  PIRATES LIFE!  This is why they are doing it cause people are sick and tired forking out money to companies that don't give two Fs about their customers.  Pirating is becoming a norm and as long as these companies keep catering to the Weird ones, our wallets will remain closed.  I hear some vendors are already leaving Daz and going to places like Renderhub to start selling in hoping to gain any sort of income.  Get woke, go broke, and you can't change my mind Gen 9 was not woke.  Gen was a disaster and gen 2, 3 and 8 were great.  Why go back to the very thing that was a disaster? Answer: to cater to the weirdos.  Screw daz.

Saddly...that is it.
If customers keep feeling unheard, that they are not valued, they will stop spending money. Note, I am not saying they will stop the "hobby". They will seek other venues to get their items. And in the bigger scheme of it, it will tbe the artists working to make those products that will suffer.

I do know of artists that have either left daz for places like renderhub or started their own store. Which I am happy to support. It means more of my money is going directly to the artists.

Yep.  Clearly DAZ needs their own BUDLIGHT treatment....

EDIT:  And yeah I do the same with Renderhub as well.  Anyone that I know are good PAs and Vendors that will move to Renderhub or Already ON Renderhub, I will support.  Renderhub gives 100% of the revenue, unlike DAZ.
