Some newer products are Daz Central install only?

I've noticed today that at least one new product lists as being installable by Daz Central only. That product is https://www.daz3d.com/fg-fast-food

After purchasing it, the only options shown for downloading are Daz Central - there are no links for clicking to open DIM (didn't look for Manual install). All other new products that I checked have the usual plethora of options, DC, DIM, Manual etc.

So I guess my question is, are some items going to be DC exclusive? If so, I'm afraid they will not be getting purchased, as I absolutely refuse to have that dumpster fire known as Daz Central anywhere near my hardware again!

For what it's worth, when I opened DIM, the product was showing, but at the time of writing it is still refusing to download. I'm getting repeated 'download failed' errors. Just found it particularly strange how this one item only had references to Daz Central, and it doesn't seem to want to install via DIM!

    If you can't download something, it doesn't seem to matter how you choose to download it.  DazCentral wouldn't work any better, no matter what it says.

    I know, but that wasn't my point.

    I was more enquiring about the fact that this one item only shows DC as an install option.

    Yeah, that's never been true.

    Apparently if there are no download files, it still lists DazCentral but not DIM or manual, even though DazCentral uses the same downloads as DIM.  If only DazCentral is listed. it won't work either.

    This is a known issue, I know as I have put tickets in on the same problem

    Happens a lot lately. Seems like QA is either short-staffed or snowed under - potentiall both, given the recent store mess-up.

    Ok guys, thanks for the replies. Can confirm after getting home from work that the item has now successfully installed via DIM :)
