I do believe for sure that rumour was only referencing the part about Ling and YANHE's V5, rumor wasn't translated at any other part in the article. Anyway, this is true as it seems. New ones like Sora and Mirai can't seem to catch on. Ken and Kaori seem to do alright,m but they are also included with V5 so you don't therhetically "need" to buy any others right off the bat.

I do believe for VOCALOID to last, they need to A) fix the program and allow it to flourish, B) Re-add features like XSY so it doesn't make companines feel like a waste of time + money to have made all those additional voicebanks and are now being told they can't use them in V5. Like seriosuly what was the point of making it a new feature in V4 only to trash it upon the next update. C} Make it seem more profitable for companies to want to purchase licenses to develop for it.

This is all on YAMAHA at this point, if they want to throw away 14 years of progress that's on them but they should not be stringing the consumers along the way they are.
