I'm not paying for a Pro version of DAZ Studio when the people running DAZ already screwed its customers over in the past on that exact same issue, I'm not paying for content and features that I lose if I stop subscribing, and I'm not supporting a subscription that requires periodic call-ins to DAZ's servers. 

Up until the recent changes, I used to have a $100+-a-week habit at DAZ, but I haven't bought a thing from them since then, meaning that in the last five months or so, DAZ and its vendors have lost out on at least $2.5K-to-$3K or so from just me alone. I keep reading posts from other users saying that they're scaling back on their purchases or opting out entirely for these exact same reasons, I don't see anyone claiming to have increased their purchases to make up for the lost revenue, and I seriously doubt that DAZ is attracting enough new customers to make up for those of us who've dropped out. 

I fully expect to see Tafi try to sell off DAZ in an attempt to recoup something from the wreckage, or failing that, to shut it down entirely to stop the bleeding.
