A lot of the miscommunication was caused not by PowerFX themselves, but by Anders. PowerFX are known to be a bit bumbling, so these things happen. But once they were painted as the villian, people began to nit pick with Bil, forgetting he is a mere human being from a small company who happens to make Vocaloids... This has never left the attitude of people; despite the fact Bil is THE most approachable contact from our domain of the Vocaloid franchise. this is why I'm glad people haven't put PowerFX off of making them due to their stupidity.

The whole event lead some stupidity. People who wanted Syo threatened to not buy Ruby out of protest; but its the sale of Ruby that leads Syo to get money and Ruby to get more vocals if successful. They wanted to hurt PowerFX, but reality is they were going to hurt Syo... Other threatened tp Pocaloid her, but this was a moral stand point which proves that if they were willing to do that for Ruby were they truly supportive of the franchise?

In the end the hate achieves nothing, leaves everyone dim and the only loss here would be to English Vocaloid. With only 2 companies making native vocals, you can't afford to loose either. Still, the "hate" from the events remains. But actually... Not all of it is linked to the event.

Because Ruby's vocal type is the same almost as Cyber Diva, what separating them being the way their vocals were constructed and pitch. they don't produce the same result, but a lot of people felt there was no need for Ruby with Diva already at hand. Others over time have hated odd bits about her vocal, like the metallic rasp of her vocal (basically things that are common trait among vocaloids that people either ignore if they really like the vocal or pretend aren't common because its not always obvious). :-/
