Some day, they simply might not be there any more. And we have to remember that supporting those developers we love is what keeps them in business. But I know the numbers are very often right on the edge. I’m very impressed by independent businesses making a go of it at all – see Audio Damage, for instance, who have built unique stuff with a liberal licensing scheme.
The software business is tough – plain and simple. The light of hope here, as noted in comments: sound designers were already working on Alchemy 2, meaning a new developer may take over the new synth.
