Remember when DAZ used to create a void. Remeber all the hype for V4 before she was released? Or the way DAZ hyped Studio4 before it's release; and the riot that followed when they tried to charge for it?

Same with G2F and G2M, but C8.5 bearly merited a forum post.

With C8.5 being in beta for so long it didn't really need any hype, it had already been shown and discussed quite a bit before release. But if it hadn't been for users spreading the word on other forums, most people never would have known it had been released. 

Before DAZ got bought out a few years back I had little birdies at DAZ. If I had a good question I couldn't get a DAZ_ to answer, I'd email Chris. We also had 3 DAZ_ reps that spoke with us often enough on the forum. Yes they may have posted answers few and far between, but they did respond to us; eventually. Now...... nothing. Carraraests are now childern lost in the dark begging for answers and only hearing crickets and tree frogs.

As I said, a slip of the tongue leads me to beleve there will be a C9. But when it may be released and what all it will have is a mystery. When DAZ changed hands it went from a bit of news or a status update once and a while to nothing.

In my opinin DAZ needs to grow a pair, man up, and tell us what is going on. It would be better then this feminen "I know what I have to say will upset you, so I just wont say it" that we are getting now. Just man up, tell us what is going on, and deal with the fall out.

Sorry ladies, but my X was a pro at that. knock, knock, knock, "Oh did I tell you we were having Anna's bachloret party here"?
