Best case scenario DAZ buys/forces meshed to license VaM hard when its mostly complete. Worst case they get fed up sends the lawyers with a Cease and Desist.TschaTsching 100 Points
DAZ can anytime crash VAM as long as it uses their Morphable Model IP they can anytime pull the plug.
And with VAM 2.0 it enters some very problematic ground in terms of competition to DAZ their own interests.
What Vam patreons are doing right now is basically releasing DAZ content but bypassing the DAZ 3D Shop.
