![]() ![]() ![]() Art by AkiGlancy/EmpathP Boxed VersionsĪs stated in the previous article, there are currently no plans for Dex and Daina to receive official boxed versions. She also gave more information on other topics such as rumors surrounding Zero-G‘s next project and how to support English VOCALOIDs. She went into detail about the design changes and lack of boxed versions for the two, both of which were covered last week on Vocaloid Otaku and talked about in a previous VNN article. More Dex and Daina news came today in the form of information on their design as well as their boxed version.Yesterday, EmpathP hosted the third Dex and Daina live stream on YouTube. Daina and dex vocaloid update#ĪkiGlancy (also known as EmpathP) posted a summary of the newest Dex and Daina update on Vocaloid Otaku. Art by SteelEmissary Boxed Versionĭue to the cost of manufacturing the boxed versions of VOCALOIDs, Zero-G has decided that Dex and Daina will not be receiving physical copies. ![]() Fans will only be able to buy digital downloads of the newest English VOCALOIDs. As I work in DVD and CD printing I know how much it costs to get these things made…. Now you may also say “but Aki, if they sell 50 units at around $120 each, they’ll be making several thousand dollars. How is that not profit?” Well it’s not profit for a very simple reason: Zero-G will probably only see about 60% of that sale (if they’re lucky). As I had stated in my last post, the company sells their physical releases through Time + Space. As with all distributors, they take a piece of the pie with each sale. I believe Yamaha also takes a fraction of physical sales (this is not confirmed, this is just an informed theory). ![]() And then of course there’s taxes and the like (and have it on good authority that the European tax system is not great). So this leads to the most logical decision: to distribute only digitally until such a time as can be shown that it is more profitable to distribute physical copies as well.
