@Purple.

Well, this is one thing but alas there is another;

Syo gets a BONUS if Ruby sells well. If nobody buys Ruby, Syo doesn't get a bonus. If Ruby doesn't do well, she won't get more vocals, if she gets more Vocals Syo could get more money and more bonuses. So Syo will suffer as well as PowerFX and the next Vocaloid they make...

Sohow far does one go here, in wanting to support Syo you can end up costing him. And those who want to just Pocaloid her... Honmest,... They were likely going to do that anyway, and Syo has already expressed sorrow that his work was going to be stolen. Syo looses again.

Syo is morally wrong also if he accepts donations for someone who pocaloided, as someone said they would rather give money to Syo then PowerFX.

There is a whole heap of mess going on here Purple. And as much as I want to side with the fans... With Yohiloid being confirmed a failure you have to admit the fans can only do so far. Vocaloid has always been one of those products that sells by "word of mouth" and if Avanna can remain hidden as a success when she has far less coverage by fans, I don't know what I'd put on that. I think... there is a lot more to this... :-/

Their hearts are in the right place in their protests, but this is just sad. I though thte time we protested on Taiwan Big Al and Ann when they were put on the PowerFX homepage and accidentally left there was bad. I feel ashamed for being involved in that one. But that time taught me a lesson about rage protesting.

PowerFX have always been fairly decent in the past whenever I've approached them... Bil's always been one to respond to questions and likes to hear feed back and what not. their the most open approachable company in Vocaloid. I laughed when they leaked V4, causing Wat to have to react. This is PowerFX in a nutshell; they make a (lot) of mistakes, but aren't devils nor saints and I don't to see a good thing disappear.

They did morally wrong, either way. But Syo's not been 100% honest with us either here it seems. How do you pick a side here Purple? I'll stick to my stance for now. :-/
