Yeah, Alys was not a Vocaloid and PowerFX got uncalled for hassle over Ruby.

Though Ruby was decent success, sh and Yohioloid didn't really break the mould like Oliver did and PowerFX have pulled out to focus on Soundation. Which they had been doing since 2013 when Yohioloid didn't succeed that well. Bil was the only one keeping PowerFX making Vocaloids, without him, no Vocaloids. :-?

Even I can see the irony in my comments, it was going so well.

To be honest, PowerFX weren't fully to blame for the issues with Ruby, a lot of it was Anders and some of it was Syo and/or Misha's with Bil having to foot the blunt of a angry mob. I keep saying it, but comments like punishing PowerFX by Pocaloiding Ruby were going to hurt Syo who got a bonus from sales of her vocal, so it was all just a stupid time. the worst company so far was actually SBS Artech but no one seemed to forgive PowerFX and unlike Zero-G they didn't stick around so never had a chance to repair the damage. PowerFX just never had much success and their one of the smallest studios, so they made the call and with no Bil to resist the change, they pulled out. They also were distributors in Europe for Vocaloid3 and Vocaloid4. I get the idea as well the licensing has proven to be the death of some devs interest on top of that.
