By giving away their so called flag ship programs they have shown that they have no confidence in people now buying them.

People will think about htis every time something like a paid for DS program comes out.

Should I buy something at $200 - $400 when I know that they will bring it out for free in 6 months time.

Very much doubt it.

Genesis may be popular at the DAZ store, but where else?

When PA's are happy with a product then they make things for it, not a lot of non DAZ PA's doing things for Genesis.

More people have V4 content and PA's on most sites are still making content for her and now with V4WM she is going to just carry on being popular.

Poser users will continue to buy things at DAZ if they think the items are worth it, but as more and more content that appears there is restricted to Genesis, then they will take their money elsewhere.

DAZ thought they were doing something that would make Poser users drop Poser and take up Studio. This didn't happen and in fact the Poser community has moved on and is quite happily doing their own thing now.

All the best.
