I recently discussed the situation with Vera and Nata with my landlady who is a former accountant. When development costs, personnel salary, money for any other devs, tax, % owed to Plogue was all filed in, my landlady had an issue with a lot of things. Since everything was all vague things, and so fourth, it was hard for her to guess what the possible income Azure made on NATA, but using everything she knows she stating to me, that is a good possibility very little profit was made if any at all. So despite everyone calling Azure greedy there was a chance he could not have made much money at all. The trouble was everything was hyper theoretical, estimations and what not.

However, the reason I'm bringing this up is Aki has no commitment to real her expenses, especially if it involves revealing how much anyone she paid was given. It breaks data protection laws to reveal certain aspects of your finances. I honestly don't expect Aki to tell us much for this reason if she wants things to be taken professionally. If Azure had not made a profit he could have easily revealed it but like Aki, by law he can't. That's why I was a little miffed earlier this year with the looping discussion on the situation with NATA at the Alter/ego wiki.

I am okay with not know how much in debt Aki is, because that is more information perhaps then she is allowed to give out. Its a shame to hear, but as I said... I haven't supported this project from the start because it didn't satisfy the things I said before. Sure, its nice a bunch of fans got together to do it, but they can't ask anyone to support them nor for people like me to agree with their choices. Even if I could support them... I live in the UK and don't have the money to spend on a plane ticket to see a concert, especially one I don't agree on. As much as I love Vocaloid, I'm just not going to go to just any concert related to it. Its the same as I just because I like Vocaloid, doesn't mean there are things about it I dislike and I'm prepared to like everything about it. If I did, then I would not have a least favourites list that contains Miku and the Kagamines at the bottom.
