You may be wondering why we should use a new DAZ Central toy, if it doesn’t bring anything new to the table, other than a dedicated web browser and/or app launching. In short: DAZ Central doesn’t do anything new that we can’t already do with the tools we’re already using.

We can install (and uninstall) content, buy products, search the store and our library, manage plugins and have access to external links like the DAZ Blog, DAZ forums and the ever so slightly outdated documentation from 2004 (the one with the incomplete links and missing pictures, the one that doesn’t actually document much at all). So rather than us having to bounce between several open applications, and perhaps get confused and distracted, DAZ Central tries to give us a single interface from which to start. On the one hand such apps try to be helpful, but more importantly they offer less distractions to the user, as well as “sales opportunities”. Many products have such apps, which usually combine a dedicated web browser with the ability to install items and even launch things from one window. Simply put, DAZ Central is a launcher application, much like the EPIC Games Launcher, GOG Galaxy or the Steam app (albeit without giving you achievements). It’s more about sharing those thoughts and an attempt at explaining the often mysterious and unexplainable.

Note that what I’m telling you in this article is based on observations, opinions and speculation rather than insider knowledge or hard facts.
