I don't know under what kind of license DAZ models are published, and what rights customer gets with purchase of model. Many people are guessing here, me included, but unless we actually see, it's only guessing.
You can literally look up the licenses for DAZ models. When you purchase any 3D content from Daz, it already comes with standard license.
What the Standard License Agreement covers:
Whenever you purchase 3D Content from Daz, it comes with certain rights that allow you to use that content. Some of those rights include the ability to:
- Render Images
- Render Videos
- Render HDRIs and/or Virtual Reality (VR) scenes
Any of these that you produce and render out are completely owned by you, so you can use them commercially, modify them, sell them, or promote them, as protected by the

). This is because the end product is a render (your individual artwork) of the 3D Model, as opposed to the actual 3D Content.
Every image in Echoes of Lust, IS a render. Inceton aren't using the ACTUAL model they purchased in the game. The game actually has no assets, it is all rendered images which belongs to Inceton. If Inceton made a game like House Party, where you actively control an actual in-game model of the 3D content you purchased, they would need an Interactive license.
When you should get an Interactive License:
Certain applications of models from Daz 3D require an Interactive License if you want to use that product in a particular way. Any app, game, or video game where the model changes depending on what a user does requires an Interactive License (example: if the 3D Model moves, bends, or walks based on an action the user of that app or game makes).
Because apps and games redistribute un-rendered versions of the 3D Model you’ve purchased to alter and manipulate it, they’re not covered by the Standard License Agreement (

here. More details on Interactive License can be found in Section 3.0. If no Interactive License options are offered for a product, it is not an option for using in an app, game, or video game (as a 3D model). Unless otherwise specified, these licenses are not eligible for returns or refunds.
Do you now understand the difference? Render of the model vs Actual use of the model are not the same thing.
