Pretty much been said but I'll note... The loss of Piko is minor, he is 1 Japanese voicebank.

Meanwhile in the English realm we have lost Leon, Lola, Miriam, Big Al, Sweet Ann, Sonika, Prima, Tonio... Thats 8 voices.

Piko can be replaced by Yuu, Yohioloid, Fukase, Arsloid, etc.

To top it off he wasn't popular for a couple of reasons. He was released at the same time as Kagamine Append, is a male vocaloid released ina country that 80% is more likely to buy females, was released late V2, Sony made using the demo awkward, and wasn't that great either being a MQ at best. These days, all Vocaloids V3 and beyond out do all V1 and V2 overall due to their increased quality.

Plus even if they update him would *you* buy him anon? Its no good updating something if no one buys it and the issue is no one really bought into Piko in the first place. ITs a Japanese Vocaloid, so his not aimed at you to begin with and if no big producer picks him up, uses him and make a hit would could you offer him if you *did* pick him up? Its tiredsome to hear people ask for an update when they *just* want it to exist and won't support it, its kinda not cheap to produce a Vocaloid and they don't do it for charity, they do it for profit. If its not profitable then its a money loss.
