PowerFX are out of Vocaloid, when Bil left there was no one willing to keep Vocaloid going at PowerFX. We don't know why Bil left and its none of our business, he was planning more Vocaloids because I was talking to him at the time of Ruby.

A Sweet Ann, Big Al, Yohioloid, Oliver and Ruby update is now off the table for good... Though Hio has stated with PowerFX gone, he wants to try and get Yohioloid updated without them. So its possible I guess for this to happen without PowerFX.

PowerFX offered to make a Vocaloid for $10,000, no one took it up and everyone hated them for Ruby, even though it was (I've said this hundreds of times) Anders fault. Because their out of the game they cannot repair their reputation like Zero-G did when Sonika happened. The hate was spurned by Ruby's provider Misha, should have seen it, it was our fandoms most disguting moment. People were saying stuff like they wanted to hurt PowerFX by pocaloid-ing Ruby... Only Syo's bonus and Ruby's extra vocals depending on sales. So the only one who'd be hurt was th very people they were trying to support. Never less, Bil wanted to update Sweet Ann while he was there, he just couldn't afford it.

At the start of V3, PowerFX was the smallest company of the major devs making Vocaloid, they never had the money to do much for Vocaloid. Bare in mind we had it confirmed with Zero-G they only get "X" amount of money for their Vocaloids. Dex, Daina and Avanna, however, have been successful products, while Yohioloid and Ruby were struggling even without the fans reactions. In 2013, Bil was saying at this point Soundation, PowerFXs own product, was making much more profit while Vocaloid wasn't doing much at all and Yohioloid was basically a failure. Bil believed in the software despite that, its a shame PowerFX didn't.
