No, the reason is you need proper hardware and skills for DAZ. KK and HS not.

Most often, this just means you prefer the style of games like this one, where they're being rendered by screenshots of Illusion games (HS1/HS2/KK/etc.) and their studio products.
The worst renders you can make in an Illusion game are significantly better than the worst renders you can make in Daz, because Illusion games have a skill/quality floor where Daz really doesn't.
However, along with that skill/quality floor comes a skill/quality ceiling, a cap where you can't really improve anymore. This means that the best renders you can make in an Illusion game, even with post-processing, are absolutely blown out of the water by the best renders you can make in Daz. It's not even remotely close. There's also significantly greater variation in art style available via Daz (e.g. the Blender-created characters in MIST and Covenant of Morn are being rendered in Daz). It just takes a lot more skill and effort to put out Daz renders of that quality than it does to make pretty and passable Illusion game-based renders.
I just finished going through Evermore for the first time, and I almost regret trying it out. The story kept getting better and better as it went along, and now I'm sad that we'll never see the end (at least in AVN form). If the story does continue in the future, I doubt it will live up to the AVN for me personally, but I'm willing to be proven wrong.

It makes me so mad when someone start to make a game and make a very good job with it so many players likes it so much and suddenly don't give a fuck in all of us who had put money in it because id was so good! Shame on you!

Then, at least you are not mad at Prometheus, because he never did that and explained why.

In fact, I'd be willing to bet that the vast majority of abandonments are not for the reason that poster said. The other recent high-profile abandonments lately I can think of off the top of my head: Atemsiel (vanished suddenly and no one has heard from him, including people who were close to him like me), Flynn (we don't know for sure, but it was something major, and he announced it and turned over all materials to a group of fans who want to try to continue development), 13 Games (ended all game development of all kind for family reasons).
