It looks like the Merchant Resource might be for larger studios doing 3d character modelling in DAZ then moving them to something else, like Unity or Unreal. If you are already spending 20K why isn't that extra $300 (Interactive licenses) thrown in for free. Also 8K skin textures probably means that POTATO PC's need not apply.
For some of the hair I am sure the only update necessary would be to set new Scene Identifiers and nothing more.

Victoria 9 HD with Linday G8 Hair autofit. This took a couple minutes longer to render than the same basic Victoria 8 model.
I know nothing about these things, but I'd figure a studio capable of throwing 20k at something like this would have an artist on staff that can sculpt what is necessary without the use of ready made morphs, latter could be quicker of course for simple things, but then again you might end up fighting a windmill with those things trying to fix something specific and trying to find that right morph that does that, when zburshing or even blendering would fix that in 2min flat
and those morphs look suspiciously (even including morph names) like the "200 plus head and face morphs" I have for G8F and M, and there is no such product(s) available for G9 yet, and I don't there will be any time soon
I realize that it is a merchant resource, but the question is - should it be? I think they target the wrong audience with that price and cut off enthusiast crowd from purchasing G9 at the same time, simply because there are no figures yet, and no tools to make your own without going into sculpting and making your own morphs
what we do get is a shitton of asymmetry morphs, did anyone actually wanted these?
so, the only sense it makes to me is in the context of cashgrab IMHO (as I said, no experience besides hobby use with these things)
sorry for OT
p.s. and tried looking up some launch responses on Daz and Daz+ forums - no a whole lot of those there, clicked on one where subject seemed to suggest disappointment - page loads - 404
and the topic is gone from the list it was in a minute ago after I refreshed it, so Daz is apparently playing whackamole with those on their forum
