Bare in ind that Vocaloids barely sell a few 1,000's of units in some case and that the number of pirates per vocal is currently at least 100 times the amount they sell. If they vocaloids were a video game, then the number being pirated wouldn't be a problem as the vocaloids would be expected to reach 100,000+ sales anyway.

Miku's V2 sales were 60,000+ during the V2 lifespan and likely a similair number in V3. But she is the most successful vocaloid, which means all the rest have done WORST then she has.

To be fair, if you really want Miriam V4?

Support the upcoming Vocaloids as well current vocaloids they sell; Good sales may sway Zero-G in the future to take the V1 update risk.

'''~Or better yet, as you can read on the V1 pages, there is still a method of obtaining V1's. Now imagine if Zero-G got 1,000+ sales of each V1 post retirement? How much "weight" would this post-retirement sales leap carry?'''

Remember Kaito's story.
