Again, this is just not true, Investors don't run companies unless ,individually, they hold a majority of the companys equity. Companies are ran by a managements team and report to their investors.

That's quibbling; the stakeholders collectively own the company, and the board is chosen by the investors. They then hire the managers

I bear no malice towards DAZ; I'm a long-time PC Member who has used Studio from version 1.8 and continue to use it when it is the best tool for the job at hand.

Your comment actually is the point I was trying to make (in DAZ' defence, if you will) that keeps getting buried in minutae; DAZ is no longer the cozy art company run by Dan and Chris, which it really was when I first got into it; it is a business now run purely for the bottom line, as their investors are in it to sell high at some point, so people shouldn't feel puzzled or betrayed when they don't act like the"'Old DAZ"; it's just business...

No offence WandW, but it seems like you're trying to paint Daz3D as some kind of faceless suited men with Fat Bankers on their back cracking whips. "Yelling Damn the customers bring me my money!!!!" ''Evil lol''

A lot of it is the context you use to make a point however benevolent the intent may be. I mean like what you just posted above, look at the connotations associated.

" DAZ is no longer the cozy art company " Seems to infer the management of Daz3D don't care about art.

" it is a business now run purely for the bottom line" Seems to infer that Daz3D only care about money & not about DS, it's customers or its PA's.

" as their investors are in it to sell high at some point " Indicates the appearance of volatility, Daz could be sold any day to anyone, be nervous everyone.

" it's just business " See faceless suited men analogy above

I guess that's what rattles my cage, your intentions become murky to myself because a lot of the language used seems to be double barbed.
