^Changes nothing.

Soundation has been their main focus, it doesn't mean they aren't doing other things, for example PowerFX has loop samples for sale.

Ruby was originally created independently from PowerFX, PowerFX was the studio chosen to be offered to release her because all others gave far less control to Syo. PowerFX sadly wasn't exactly told what they were given by Anders. Regardless, the one behind Vocaloids being release by PowerFX was Bil who wanted to make more Vocaloids after Ruby. When Bil left PowerFX, PowerFX dropped Vocaloid. So when Bil left, PowerFX left Vocaloid. It just wasn't making back enough money compared to Zero-G's felt success. However, none of this is related to Ruby.

From what I've been told Ruby faired as well as most Vocaloids released by PowerFX, as such she did "alright". The trouble is, thats the problem, they weren't gaining ground. So despite all the drama over the boxart, there was no impact on the sales at all. So while Bil wanted to make more, once he left PowerFX decided they wouldn't supply a product that basically breaks even all the time with little profit. Instead they'd continue to focus on what is getting them profit.

So thats a summary of what went down and it took some effort to get it all. I can't show the e-mails related to all of this, and they don't exactly just give you the information.
