If RoboVM isn't revenue-positive, what's Microsoft to do? Xamarin bought RoboVM, presumably hoping that there were synergies there. Then Microsoft bought Xamarin, and Xamarin's business-model changed, and those synergies may not be there anymore. At that point, you can make a case for RoboVM to operate independently if RoboVM pays for itself. But the decision to take RoboVM closed-source and increase what they charge indicates that maybe RoboVM couldn't and can't self-sustain.
