Does DAZ give up the Pro Bundles?

...in all my years at this, the only pro bundles I voluntarily purchased were VIcky 4.2 (as it included useful items like all the body/head morphs, MATs, a couple pose sets along with hair and a character or two), the Young Teens 5 (a "towfer" as it included both a male and female character as well as no skimpwear), and Edie 8 (as I love the character and pretty much like everything that was included). The others I have (primarily Vicky and Mike 5 - 7 I got free through purchasing software, or a "loyalty" banner).

I've gotten pro and starter bundes only when there was a fantastic sale or discount, otherwise I just buy the character and the couple items I love from the bundles separately. That said, I'm definitely not the "average" Daz customer. While I'll admit my characters definitely lean attractive and are somewhat idealized, they're generally not especially busty (and when they are, I prefer to dial that in myself, it's really not something I want baked in), and I prefer clothing that I believe a person would willingly wear in the real world without needing to be paid to. So while lingerie can be lingerie and bikinis can be bikinis, armor and scifi "uniforms" should be armor or look like uniforms. Similar issues with poses cause me to use male poses on women most of the time. My fantasies lean more towards people who feel like they could be real, even if the worlds they inhabit are fanastical.

Admittedly, the V7 bundle mostly fits those requirements - while the Post Apocalyptic Outfit sadly looks like it's for a post-apocalyptic stripper or prostitute (minus the hilariously poorly thought out leg injuring accessory - "functional and fashionable" ha), Vigilante Outfit and Casual Summer are very wearable (casual summer isn't my style though), Austrani could be usable if I kitbash in proper shoes for the genre (but I don't do that much fantasy and I have outfits I like better), Leyton Hair is perfect, and Krayon Hair is good if you switch out the awful textures. But most bundles have less usable content for my tastes, and there's still the pinup poses I'll never use, and Summer and Adaline aren't the V7 characters I would have chosen to spend money on.
