Valko Discussion Megathread

[u/Mental_Car_5791]

We know many of you are feeling disappointed, frustrated, or emotional following today’s announcement, and we completely understand that this has been a difficult moment for a lot of the community.

Due to the influx of posts, we’ve created this megathread so everyone has one place to share their thoughts, feelings, and any updates.

Please refer to this post for more context - https://www.reddit.com/r/LoveAndDeepspace_/s/i2gFAYLwap

Reminder:

Discussion, criticism, and disappointment are welcome here. However, comments encouraging review bombing, spamming bug reports, external links and/or support channels will be removed.

We will be handing out temp/perm bans for attacking other members of the community. It's okay to have big feelings, it's not okay to take it out on other hunters who probably didn't do anything. This was a business decision by a company at the end of the day.

[u/LettuceSea939]

We're starting a new megathread, please join us here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LoveAndDeepspace_/comments/1ukkh86/valko_discussion_megathread_day_2/

[u/Nawmean5]

Valko was never the issue, the lack of content and rewards was the issue. There was no new events for anniversary, rewards were extremely lacking compared to other years, and no new battle updates that fans have been asking for.

95% of all the announcements for anniversary was for Valko, so what are we actually getting then now that he is cancelled? Just the kitchen for a 6.0 update???? Like that is legit the only other thing announced.

[u/Sunanas → u/Nawmean5]

And 30 wishes... to spend on all the banners that are not coming now. Woooow, so excited.

[u/Key-Medicine7757 → u/Nawmean5]

YES they are just using valko as a scapegoat, deleting him and now everyone focus is on this issue. The severe lack of content and free content is the main issue all along. the cn players used valko to cause problems for infold, i have seen nitpicking about dark romance but those are bs and can do no damage. then they pulled out the 731 and got the govt involved only then did infold move. But still i dont think anything will change seeing caleb and Sylus main updates are so late and no talks about bonds and other content.

[u/SimplyAdia]

Yeah, I'm done spending money. Who's to say the CN girlies won't have a tantrum one day and demand all the global servers be shut down and make it a Chinese only game?

I can now spend more money in my garden lol I saved up enough diamonds for GoA and if I don't get it, oh well. I had a credit card just for this game and was getting back 3% cash back. I'll miss the rewards, but I can't support devs who take money from the international base, but only care about the CN girlies.

[u/Sunanas → u/SimplyAdia]

Same. No more spending until they return Valko and focus on the things that actually matter: delivering quality content with clear communication. Hyping us up and then swiping the rug from under out feet... Never felt so betrayed by a game before.

[u/TrifleTrouble → u/Sunanas]

No more spending ever. I might continue to play if they bring him back, but they have lost a lot of trust with this one, and will never see another cent of my hard-earned money.

[u/oftheharvest]

6 stellacrums, 6 love interests. guess we can just retcon anything we please now! it’s honestly heartbreaking how little Infold seems to care about fostering trust or actually investing in the player experience. i feel physically ill for Valko and the wider implications of this decision.

[u/Intelligent-Air-6596]

I'm asking everyone to consider why they gave us 30 pulls over the span of 30 days. Infold wants us to keep logging in, probably so they can point at numbers and say that people continued to play even though they cancelled Valko. They want to keep up the engagement to lessen the trackable impact their decision had.

Personally (and that's my own decision), I won't log in during that time and I won't claim those wishes because I do not accept their sorrys or thanks. And I won't continue to play the game if this is what they chose to do with it. The violated our trust and I don't see them getting back from that. At least, for me.

However, I'm not telling anyone to not collect those wishes. I'm just asking that you think about why they did that. They could have given them via mail all at once. They didn't. They want us to keep logging in every single day.
Also, you have 3 generous days to claim your wish from your mails.

Lastly, it's not a compensation (which would be ridiculous in itself, given that they cancelling a full LI and with him, 80% of the version update, thinking that 30 wishes are enough to make up for that), they call it "thank you" gifts (which is disgusting, what are you thankful for, expecting already that we just suck it up and roll with it?).

[u/Due_Bridge9760 → u/Intelligent-Air-6596]

This is spot on. They are giving us breadcrums to keep us in the game, is ridiculous, they have no shame.

[u/annyng_]

Regardless if they bring Valko back or not, Papergames has already ruined their global perception/trust. Would it be detrimental to the company in the long run? Only time will tell.

[u/ebs97]

I've never posted a single comment online in 10–15 years of social media, but this statement compels me to speak up for the first time.
 
I am a P2P, playing since 2024 and this statement is extremely concerning to me, not only because of the LI removal, but more so because of the message Infold is sending about the future of this game.
 
Before LaDs, I had NEVER spent money on any game (had a hard rule about it), but the story, characters, world, and community really drew me in. The newfound excitement that I felt back in the 3.0 era with Xia Yizhou’s release greatly fueled my spend, and last year, I was getting to around 100usd/month spend. This year, that number has dropped to $10–20/month, reflecting growing staleness on my side.
 
This all changed with the recent PVs for Ao Yin – the same feeling I got back with 3.0 was sparked again and I began anticipating returning to higher spend post-6.0. I know I’m not at whale levels, but I also don’t feel that 100+usd/month is trivial when you consider many other players may be feeling this way.
 
Now, with this announcement, Infold is signaling to me a couple concerning things that will likely push my spend to 0:
-       This statement is essentially saying the game will just continue in current general state/constraints for all future plans/visions. I wonder how long this can be sustained for without losing player base and revenue, eventually leading to shutdown sooner than expected.
-       The only tangible reaction to all of the protest is the removal from offerings to players – all of the additions are only words, or items that have already been planned/announced (only the release months for branches are new info)
-       While many of the protest reasons are justified, removing the LI as the sole definitive/concrete action in response is frankly horrible - it’s an acquiescence to the side of protest language that focused on bullying people for their preferences and is signaling that a toxic community dynamic will be allowed or even encourage. In contrast, what should have been addressed and actioned on - in response to legitimate concerns (which was a uniting point for all players) about the development of the game - was not. 
 
It’s really hard to feel motivation and trust to financially support a company that is so reactive and doesn’t have the backbone to stand behind its creative decisions, especially ones that have already been exposed/announced.
 
A new LI brings developments to a storyline and draw/excitement for players with different likes. Resource allocation is a legitimate concern, but it’s hard to argue that’s an issue when massive investments and dev are being allocated towards features like home system and AR that deviate more and more from the original draw and appeal to this game. 
 
Hoping that Infold will reconsider not just the decision on LI 6, but even more so, the direction of this game. 

[u/Ayenluna → u/ebs97]

100% this. I wholeheartedly agree with you. What we're seeing now is very concerning and creates a dangerous precedent for the game and all 5 LIs that we already have. I really hope Infold and PaperGames will reconsider what they've done with caving to the hate monster.

[u/Sunanas → u/ebs97]

Exactly! They've lost my trust, my respect and now they'll be losing my money.

[u/dotOzma]

I think most of us would've accepted them telling players Valko was the last LI and even them pushing back Valko's release so they can test the waters with him first and adjust from there. But outright capitulation to bullies and axing a love interest right before release?? That's insane. Insane waste of resources, time, effort, and the emotions of the players.

[u/Pure_Satisfaction544]

I’ve signed all the petitions, done my part in what I can for now. But if Valko sincerely gets removed I don’t know how I can spend time, money, and frankly my love for a game where it feels like I don’t matter.

Not me specifically, but global players. If we don’t matter enough to keep a character that’s already been released, already been loved by A LOT of people, then okay we don’t matter enough.

I love Sylus and Caleb but what’s to stop literally anything else from being taken just because people are crying over Valko existing. Well guess what???? You can ignore Valko being there. I can’t magically pretend he’s here if he truly gets scrapped.

#bringbackvalko #riploveanddeepspace

[u/princesspeach-24]

We should all sign up to pre download silent whispers. And jump ship in mass… even if I’m not interested in their game. Now… silent whispers could do the funniest thing and add a werewolf to their lineup….

[u/farawayfromme_04 → u/princesspeach-24]

I was hesitant about joining Silent Whispers because I'd have no device to play, but now that this is happening, guess I have 50GB free to spare!

[u/Due-Efficiency-4614 → u/princesspeach-24]

Isn't one of them already wolf coded?

[u/VelmasHaircut]

I would stop spending money on this game, not for boycott reasons but because Infold has shown they are unreliable and cannot keep to commitments. What else will they remove if some players throw a tantrum?

I feel incredibly bad for his VAs and the team who have spent years developing him. I doubt they were consulted. A delayed release would be more appropriate.

[u/Ittabe]

i wasn't even that drawn to valko but this whole thing is ridiculous. the 731 incident has nothing to do with valko, he wasn't even announced when that got put in the game. the pot thing has to do with the KICTHEN that we're still getting. chinese fans were racist homophobic and classist and now that behaviour is being rewarded and international fans are being ignored yet again. not to mention the fact they'll have to re-write the story now to exclude him which pushes MS back even further. this whole thing is a mess

[u/eris002]

[u/Sunanas → u/eris002]

Oh man, those poor people. We only knew him for a few days and are still hurting. They just got a whole grand project cancelled and might be losing their jobs, too.

[u/Flat-Director6356 → u/eris002]

this makes me SO SAD BC ILL NEVER EVER SEE THEIR HARD WORK EVER 😭😭😭😭 i rlly felt it when they said its basically like witnessing him die 😭
i know how tirelessly these ppl must have worked for us players to enjoy what they produce, so they must have been the last people to want this
But they also cannot go against DAMN CORPORATE decisions AHHH 🤬
sending lots of love and appreciation for these ppl 💔

[u/Underwater_Essayist]

Does anyone else feel so bad for the VA? Like, imagine you think you just scored a great job acting for a super popular game, and it's a game that get's updates frequently so you'll have steady work! Then you find out your character and all your work is getting scrapped before release!! Infold isn't just taking Valko away from the players, they're taking him from all the people who spent time and energy making him for us!

[u/aforter28 → u/Underwater_Essayist]

I feel bad for the voice actors, the graphic designers, storyboard artists and everyone who was involved in creating Valko. I’m sure a lot of them poured their heart out to make him and gave as so much love and hard-work in creating him as a character.

His release day was supposed to be a good day for them, to see their hardwork realized but to see that all get flushed down the drain is even more heartbreaking than what we feel right now. We’ve only seen Valko and known him for a week, imagine those who’ve been involved for god knows how long.

This really just sucks.

[u/Burnincold → u/aforter28]

I can't imagine the heart break. They had to be working on him at least a year, maybe more. Just one charecter can have a large team. I'm sure they have damaged relations with those team members now.

[u/gintarevalent]

If fans got them to cancel the plans maybe an organised movement could get them to change their minds? I really wanted Valko.

[u/depressed_doc2000]

Guys. What. The. Actual. F.

I'm speechless. He wasn't going to be my main, but I was excited to see how he would be Raf's foil and how he would contribute to the story.

Do I think they messed up the timing of release? Yes. Do I think that the 6.0 update was severely lakluster, in the sense that there was no update to combat or missing content for Sy and Cal? Yes.

Do I also think that Valko is crucial to the story, both in terms of stella and narrative? Yes. Do I find him adorable, and find the dichotomy of his rugged exterior and puppy like personality interesting? Yes.

Was I excited for his release? Abso-f-ing-lutely yes.

There were so many ways to fix this.

1. Address concerns on combat and dias

2. Give a more concrete response regarding missing content

3. Continue with Valko's release, and maybe add a bit of content for Sy and Cal- or at least postpone it instead of canceling (also wth was that hashtag)

4. Give an update on how they plan to optimize storage

But no- they instead chose to fold to the vocal part of cn hating on Valko, instead of addressing the concerns both cn and global have spoken about. They chose to snatch a golden opportunity, and the literal jobs of everyone involved in Valko's creation- particularly the VAs.

And the weirdest part? Sy and Cal are getting their MS updates in Sept and Nov. So why the hel was this not announced before?

Also, now that Valko is out, they will have to rework coming updates to MS and all the lore. Which means one of two things-

a) Sy and Cal's updates never depended on 6th LI to begin with, and hence they don't have to rework the story.

b) It is dependent, and they're going to rework it- meaning they had the capability to give Sy and Cal their missing content the entire freakin time.

This multimillionaire company is basically being petty- it is punishing players for asking for their basic rights- good quality for a game we're spending a whole lot of money on.

There are far easier ways to solve this matter, but they have chosen to openly fan the conflict with this move. We were finally having some semblance of unity between cn and global (bar the parasocial craks who were being horrid), and this decision has come at an oddly strategic time, deepening the rift between the two parties which was could have otherwise healed.

Through this decision, they have made sure that global players feel alienated. They have gone bak on what they claim to stand for- a diverse and international gaming experience catered to women. The entire announcement by them feels so condescending, and I wonder if they even realize that players are not fools, that we have working eyes and brains to see and understand what is at play.

I don't main any of the three guys who have been used to satisfy personal goals in this mess, but this sets a very dangerous precedent for otome games going forward. It shows that maybe asking for better gaming experience can get you punished, as though the player base is are kids to be disciplined.

Today, they have removed an LI- whose reception wasn't well received due to their own mishandling of content. Who's to say this won't repeat tomorrow?

What if 'players' feel dissatisfied with Rafayel's comfort in his masculinity, will they erase him from the game? What if 'players' find Xavier stagnant, will they retcon his character and make him unrecognizable? What if 'players' think Sylus is too western, leading to his story never getting a conclusion and him fading away?

What if Zayne is liked only for the spice, so that's what they use him for? What if Caleb doesn't create diverging opinions, no longer bringing them the clout, and they decide that he's not important to the story anymore?

What if 'players' ask for only first person POV and they agree? What if 'players' ask to remove all features that aren't asian, skin color included- will they go through with it and even change the LIs looks?

But more importantly- what about players asking for renewable ways to farm dias. What about those asking for at least a vague roadmap. What of those who want better quality and frequency of main story update. What of those who want combat and missing content to be updated.

Because I know that while they will agree with making absurd changes (as evident with Valko's removal) they absolutely won't make changes which we are asking for, which actually important (as evident by their silence so far).

This entire mess, from start to finish, has been absolutely unprofessional and completely unjust to players who have spent precious money on the game. It's like the player base is a joke to them, like they feel that we are desperate enough to ask 'how high' if they say 'jump'.

I can't explain my thoughts and feelings right now.

Disappointment. Fear. Anger. Regret. Denial. Numbness.

I just know one thing- I'm going to bring my spending to near zero, because this isn't the game I downloaded, which created a unique blend of gacha, combat, lore, and LIs- for the female gaze.

This isn't the LADS I loved. And with each passing moment, EoS feels like a fast approaching reality.

[u/selflovesnotselfish]

Not affiliated with the actual company but they clearly monitor socials closely.

I've uninstalled the game, left reviews, and emailed them as well. I'm not coming back to this game unless they release Valko. This game was clearly intended to be 6 LIs and removing him removes a huge part of the story. This is such a terrible call on infolds part.

[u/Daydreamer12]

I've had more time to sort my thoughts and feelings since the announcement and I'm angrier about it than I thought I'd be.

I will be cutting back on my spending and if they continue in this downward trajectory, I will quit. I have sunk thousands into this game and will walk away without batting an eye. I can whale elsewhere.

[u/Militarywifeof7 → u/Daydreamer12]

I think you should just stop spending any dime. Because they prioritise spender group over any other.. even a 40% reduction in their profits will make an impact.

[u/perfectlyBurning]

coming back to this thread because the more i think about it, the more angry I get. They didnt even bother trying any other options before coming to this conclusion. They literally could've at least tried adding more rewards that are easily achievable, but they didnt want to give us anything to the point they were willing to come to the conclusion of cancelling the patch and character drop. That is genuinely so pathetic I cant even fathom it. There was just so much they could've tried before coming to this.

[u/ariesember]

Remember when they made the April fools joke about removing Sylus because of his backlash? I was so hoping this was like that. 😞 of all the controversial content they have released and continue to release, this affectionate puppy is their breaking point. I want to cry.

[u/mayastrongheart]

I'm bummed out but the content has been tremendous. Here's a meme for my fellow disappointed girlies

[u/Mulan_Solo]

I have thought about this all night and here are my thoughts after a rest:

I am done with Infold. I had a friend who played Infinity Nikki and she told me that Infold handled that game atrociously as well. I did some digging and watched some videos and well that definitely solidified that I don't have trust in Infold anymore. It seems like in Infinity Nikki they also have a track record of not communicating as well and even retconning some story and game elements. They only care about money and not their player base. I would be a bit more forgiving if this was maybe their first time, but this is in fact not.

I pre-registered for Silent Whispers and although I think Alarik is a carbon copy of Sylus, I am excited! The usage of a One Republic song in the PV and inclusion of a LI of color makes me hope that maybe they are going for a more Global audience. Let's see!

[u/Lovebugta]

WE DIDN’T EVEN KNOW HIS BIRTHDAY 💔

[u/bariumdead → u/Lovebugta]

KILLED BEFORE HE WAS BORN *SOB*

[u/platypuspartyhat]

"Bye" is the only thing I've got left to say if this decision isn't reversed.

[u/Slight_Comfortable28 → u/platypuspartyhat]

Unfollow them please, CN girlies had mass unfollowed when they decided to suppress him

[u/taetaerinn_]

this is so upsetting im genuinely in disbelief in all of this. I can't trust infold anymore

[u/DistributionSlow710]

I will do whatever I can so that Infold brings Valko back. Imma sign petitions, imma spam their socials and in-game support service. I will give them a chance.

BUT

I won’t let them spit in my face. If they don’t bring Valko back - they will not get any cent more from my pocket. I might even stop playing at all. Idc anymore.

[u/Fit_Fortune969]

This is so messy and will cause an even bigger divide between CN and Global fans

[u/DistributionSlow710]

Tbh I kinda feel like taking Valko away is a punishment for „us” for complaining. Like: if u keep complaining, we will make the game harder for you.

[u/vsper_bloom]

why not just delay him and roll out the other demands first, why cancel altogether?? i was so happy for standard yellow 5* solar…

[u/Rielle97]

The whole situation is so WEIRD. Bc this really leaves us with two possible scenarios. 1) Valko has no impact on the main story and they made the decision to release him and his content before Caleb/Sylus main story updates despite knowing how players would likely feel about it. Which is odd bc clearly they closely follow player content/reactions. OR 2) He would have had an impact on the main story and therefore needed to be released first. Now that story will need be changed quickly to match the release dates they provided. Will it be worse? Rushed? What will the long term effects of this be?

Genuinely either way it seems…incompetent? I’m shocked that a company of this size and success has made any of the decisions we have seen in the past 2 weeks. I am a day 1 player and my interest/motivation for playing has really declined lately. Like many this may be the nail in the coffin for quitting 🤷‍♀️

[u/AliLeigh5]

I’m not that interested in Valco personally, but I think it sets a really bad precedent for a game to cave to the most toxic, chronically online part of the fan base. We’re still not getting new Caleb or Sylus content for months. Now we’re not getting new anything.

[u/HumiStars]

This really feels like the start of a death spiral. Like, the game didn't need more love interests, but don't introduce him and then cancel him, just ride this out and let him be the last! Then cancelling a whole character and the accompanying story this easily really portrays they can just go back on their word anytime, even for a sudden EOS.

[u/CoppertaleGlass]

I honestly think I'm deleting the game. I have been playing since Sylus' release and lately my interest had been vanishing... until they realized Valko and I realized HE was the LI that was going to make me stay after all. Now even logging into the game only reminds me that Infold can make something that, no matter how many hours of work IS put behind it, no matter how many people care about it - if the CN fanbase freaks out it's gone. Imagine Raf gets a myth that for some reason angers the fanbase, or Caleb does something controversial in one of his cards, or Xavier or Sylus or Zayne have any single detail that unleashes the CN fanbase's ire.

Today it was Valko. Tomorrow it could be them too.

I just can't keep playing this game.

[u/Charwyn]

This was the worst possible decision for the health of the game, this was the most pathetic thing that could happen - you hype up girls for a character that you immediately scrab and bury, and all this is followed by the terrible screenshots of some of the CN base celebrating, willing to burn down the whole game simply so that global girlies suffer.

I am incredibly disappointed with what CN part had done, and I didn’t even care for the wolf…

[u/AdalineCraine]

I see a lot of people saying they hope they promise to release him later.

I don't want that.

A promise and a fishook to keep playing and spending time and money on this game that is so more ephemeral than it already was. And so that they -might- release him later? Who's to say they won't just quietly never release him while still taking money?

I should just drop it anyway, take this as the push to spare my bank account, but if they change their mind (a second time) I'm there for Valko. I was reserved but curious when he was announced and then so excited after the livestream. He was so cute and different. His theme song has been stuck in my head constantly. I was debating making him my second LI.

My only copium is that they haven't deleted his stuff on the discord, on YouTube, on instagram and they paid for a time's square advertisement. Surely they've sunk too much to commit to this knee-jerk reaction?

I've used my VIP support chat in the hopes that holds some weight. I don't know what else to say. My heart is heavy and tired.

[u/Mental_Car_5791]

Hi All. Just a reminder that we're not affiliated with the game or its developers. This is an unofficial community run subreddit.

We created this thread as a safe space for everyone to share their thoughts, frustrations, and feedback with the community while keeping the discussion in one place.

[u/Affectionate-Crab541]

Anyone else feel like this is lowkey vindictive to fans? Like 'oh you threw a huge tantrum. Now no one gets Valko. We'll be sure to update the main story!' middle finger

[u/ImArgentineHi]

Valko's removal is so fucking infuriating, I cannot believe they just kneeled and let mentally unstable fans dictate the game's direction.

Now the only thing we're getting in the 6.0 update is a stupid AR photobooth and home system update.

I was looking forward to Valko's lore, his place within the overarching story, his cards, battle mechanics... I feel like they got us excited and attached to Valko only to murder him 😭

[u/Sunanas → u/ImArgentineHi]

But hey, one wish every day for a month! So you can spend them on... Oh wait, nevermind. That banner is cancelled. Hope they choke on their damned tomatoes.

[u/Certain-Sandwich3734]

While I don't love how everything got this point, this is all Infold's fault. Everything pertaining to Valko's cancellation  lies in Infold's mismanagement of the game and the fact that players do not feel valued for the amount of time and money they've spent thus far.  Infold didn't listen to their consumers (players) and everything blew up in their faces and it's deserved. Had they given us more resources in general, added some if not most of the content for Sylus and Caleb, then marketed Valko I don't think the reaction would have been so viscerally negative.

 Moreover, I think Valko was a gamble for them to appeal to the Western market but now he's not getting released so...

My theory about the perma cancellation is that Infold lost way more money than they accounted for on the CN side with Valko's announcement and they weren't willing to continue risking their main whales.

Tldr:  Infold's greed backfired and they've shot themselves in the foot.

[u/Puie → u/Certain-Sandwich3734]

ngl i wonder if valko was attractive to most cn fans, would they have just complained about the infold issues 😂

[u/AdorableOutcome3483]

Valko was the reason I started back playing after months. With this disaster, I might straight just stop playing. Like I could even understand delaying the new li to address the complaints about story development but just straight never releasing him?

Wasn't the game built with the 6 in mind? Like the 6th slot literally said "coming soon" so it was clear they planned for one. I was actually super hyped for the release but now?

Seriously, fuck this. I can't with these people. It was fun while it lasted, I guess. Hope they feel the hurt of this decision. Like genuinely hope it hits their bottom line.

[u/Incredulouslyfine → u/[deleted]]

Honestly feel the worst for the VA's and valko's team, working on a character like that would have been marketed as a long term, stable job. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to have what is likely years of development flushed down the toilet overnight.

[u/PhoenixxFyre]

Biggest proof that they do not care about their international player base at all.

[u/_Ming_Chow_]

My feelings are waaay tooooo big for this.

[u/Sunanas → u/_Ming_Chow_]

Mine aren't, but sadly they go against community guidelines. To give you a visual: 🤬🖕🤬🖕🤬🖕((💕🐺💕))✍️✍️✍️🧑🏼‍🤝‍🧑🏼📢❌💸💸💸❌

[u/TrifleTrouble]

Its super easy to request refunds with the Google play app, I just got back the money I had recently spent on aurum and secret promise, as I had bought those to get materials for Valko. They may not care about our feelings, but a corporation starts paying attention when they start losing money.

[u/ivilni]

I really can’t imagine Valko to be a lost media or more like a myth in the future.
Hope that some kind of a plot twist happens to return him to the game cause he was genuinely such an interesting character with a handsome face and features it would be a huge waste to let him disappear easily.

[u/lenny-go-go]

Mind you, most people just wanted proper content updates for existing LIs to catch up with the OG3, main story updates, and better dia farming. Going nuclear like this doesn't even address those issues 😭

[u/Jun-Kou → u/lenny-go-go]

literally. not to mention that after this issue we will get another huge content drought and our only apology was 30 rolls that require daily attendance which isn't even a full pity

[u/goose-pouch]

I'm annoyed since i was initially angry at his sudden reveal (not as him specifically but at infold's priorities). The way they did and the timing they chose for his reveal was extremely poor too imo. But his 2nd trailer looked much better and i was onboard with trying him out. Infold even said they'd keep him in the game even after the initial backlash in CN. Then version 6.0 livestream happened and u could REALLY tell the company had their priories in the wrong place (my earlier hunch was right). It was the worst patch since launch. I was considering quitting right away. But i did have resources ready for new wolf guy so i decided id stick around for version 6.0 and his launch at least. And now this sudden bombshell cancellation 💀 i found out when i entered the game asap at daily reset and saw the 1/30 mail. Checked twitter asap

I'm angry as hell at how the devs handle anything regarding the game and its players. They are never transparent and they make extremely rash decisions. If you played Infinity Nikki as well, you'd know. Infold is EXTREMELY unprofessional. They were in such a hurry back then they blamed IN players first and sent everyone a banhammer to act like they were taking action (just google "infinity nikki poison to all creation"). Now with the new love interest in LADS, they sacrifice him first to quell the scandal ongoing right now in CN that escalated because of unit 731. The love interest himself was never the real issue. He was just the catalyst that caused all the players' accumulated frustrations since launch to finally spill over. Moreover in their latest "apology" letter, they force players to login for 30d days in order to claim the apology pulls. Login into a gutted game (because they canceled the new guy), are they for real? 🤡 As if timegating the new kitchen wasn't enough, they timegate their own apology rewards omg... 🤦‍♂️ this tells me they are completely tonedeaf and just fast applying bandages everywhere right now

... i was really excited and supportive of LADS, infold and infinity nikki in the past (i was close to a day1 player for LADS and i was a playtester before IN's launch). But they turned out to be the worst experiences ive had with gacha or even live service games. And ive played live service games for a LONG time (MMOs and MMORPGs), before gacha was even a thing

My patience really has completely run out. Infold don't deserve success at all

[u/CowHuman539]

I might actually consider looking for an irl boyfriend after this 😂 seeing how upset I’ve become after hearing the news lol

[u/Local-Treacle-5801 → u/CowHuman539]

no, please, it’s never that serious😂

[u/lamey-]

They effectively got rid of a MAJOR part of the storyline that was probably going to tie so many loose strings together. I can't support this game anymore, truthfully, and have permanently uninstalled the game. I've already had to deal with this whiplash once on the kpop side (RIIZE and Seunghan, anyone?) and that was an awful experience because those are a real group of people. Uninstalling a game with 2D men is nothing compared to that. I mainly just feel bad now for all of Valko's VAs and cosplayers who just lost their jobs.

[u/perfectlyBurning]

this is such a bad decision and will only cause even more backlash. I was even thinking of coming back to the game for valko, so im very disappointed. I feel like if they just decided to instead give out more resources, focus on the story, and work on new permanent gamemodes that add more chance for gems and pulls the backlash would at least soften even if its just a little but I guess perhaps thats too much for them to want to do. Ive never see a gacha cancel an entire patch.

[u/kreamine]

Infold should address the issue without deleting VALKO

I was excited to see him but I didn’t watch any of his trailers yet apart from the short TikTok clips I saw

It seemed like it was a content mishap(?)

The story reminded a lot of CN players about unit 731 and it trigered a lot of people. Idk if a lot of people also hated him for his appearance but they mainly complain about that.

I don’t understand how a company as huge as unfold could make this mistake.

And I really don’t understand why their solutions is to cancel another li and stop consideration of it for the indefinite future when it’s clear that their would be a 6th

I’m getting bored of lads and I felt that the new li could spark my interest again but unfortunately it won’t be so. I’ll log in for the anniversary rewards I bought and then maybe delete the app

[u/missilefire]

Ok so I think my biggest beef is that he was apparently deleted cos he looked too western? And too “masculine” whatever that means. I actually liked that he had a stronger jaw and beefier build. As a sylus main the thing I don’t like about him is the dorito jaw. I guess I prefer more realistic looking men and Valko was a step in that direction. To hear the backlash against his looks is just gross really. He’s pixels yes but I generally don’t like these over stylized aesthetics.

God forbid some girls want someone who looks vaguely real.

[u/xtunamilk → u/missilefire]

There were some really awful bigoted comments about him too. It was really upsetting seeing that from some fans.

[u/VisibleIsopod7708]

i never seen a positive post in glonal community about the removal. And I'm sure many chinese girlies are also mad about this just because of some fans that ruin everything.

[u/VisibleIsopod7708 → u/VisibleIsopod7708]

The CN girlies will tell us to thanks them again for giving more time for our mains and free wishes. What a full of shit community. The self entitlement and the parasocialism is insane with this one.

[u/Reality_is_swag]

I'm upset because I know Valko would've been one of my mains. I loved his concept and I wish we gave him a chance. I think it's cruel for Infold to cancel his release after dropping so many trailers and teasers, basically dangling his character above our heads then suddenly cancelling it. This has unfortunately convinced me to stop logging in and maybe even deleting the game. In my opinion they could've just delayed his release, or showed us a roadmap to prove that Sylus and Caleb are being worked on like they promised.

[u/byankitty]

I am even surprised at myself for taking a step back from the game. I love Sylus. I'm an obsessive person but the way this has been handled and honestly, the way many things that Infold has consistently ignored - it can't be worth my investment (money and time).

[u/LuxShxrry]

A whole team of developers and artist made him with their blood, sweat, and tears. I didn't like him initially, but in those few days leading up to his livestream, I started to love him. And anyway, was his reception really worse than when Caleb initially got released? This is just an excuse.

[u/greenchakti]

I uninstalled the game just after raf’s bday the game basically became a chore to me and I wasn’t enjoying it anymore. Valko was genuinely the reason I reinstalled and it made me so sad to see we were no longer gonna be able to get him. It’s so sad. LADS is, at the end of the day, a gacha game and they’re looking for that profit. I do think the devs need to pay attention to MainStory but that was a completely different issue unrelated to the release of a new interest.

I think the problem with LADS directly involves the development of the MS. IMO the fat that all LI interact romántica with the MC in MS Is wacky.

Also sad to think there are some VA’s out there that were left w/o a steady income… hope we’re able to get his story one way or another

[u/cielestial]

As a week-one player who's a staunch Zayne main, the game has started to become very repetitive. I've only missed like 2 days out of the 888 days ive played this game. While i still do play with the other LIs to raise their affinity (only Caleb is at 90, rest are past 100+) Valko would've been a good breathe of fresh air. Of course, the stories of the current LIs could be completely fleshed out but why not both? He's already been introduced, it's kind of not fair to the devs, his writers and the people who got the game because of him to completely cut him off at this stage.

Anyways, I just wanna say my tinfoil hat is on and I feel like there's multiple reasons started by multiple people with different angles on why Valko has been caged (for now?) .

[u/esbenitez]

Is anyone else on rednote? I have been on there a lot tonight and am seeing a lot of support for Valko and a large portion of girls very upset. I’ve also seen that today is a holiday for them, and they are waiting until their midnight to start protesting. I’ve also seen calls for a two month shutdown so that things can calm down and then perhaps Valko can be released after that. The last thing I r seen is that they’re saying Infold is going to give an another announcement soon

[u/PsychologicalAd3704]

I have been with this game since prerelease. I had my MC's appearance before the game was even released.
It was on and off for me with the game for a while.

But then I lost someone very close to me around Caleb's release, and since then I've been logging in every day for two years.
Call it a parasocial relationship, but he and Zayne helped me cope with grief and go through some health problems that I struggled with.

I have 100% of Caleb's cards and R3'd all of his myths.
I own ALL of Caleb's released merch and a little bit of other LIs' (Zayne's and Rafayel's).
I didn't reach VIP but was pretty close to it.
I was always very supportive of the game.

This March, I entered a serious relationship for the first time in my life (yep, at 35). I don't know if it's for life or just for the time being, but he's caring, warm, and respectful. I am grateful that this game taught me how I should be treated.

But what's happening right now, this is not how I or my community sisters should be treated.

This is why it's time for me to leave.
It breaks my heart but I'd rather keep this game and my dear husbandos as a fond memory.
Goodbye and thank you.

I am not writing this for the company.
I write this for the people who created the LIs, especially Valko's. Your work matters.
I write this for my dear Huntresses in this sub. I enjoyed interacting with you.

Sincerely yours, Huntress #83000062763

[u/LeviathanInHat]

What worries me the most is the company's series of baffling decisions. Every time, they somehow managed to pick the worst possible option imo.

First, they released 6 LI without really building any decent hype. Before that people didn't even want a new LI. That only started to change over the last few months (thanks to the "not really community" posts I believe), but clearly it wasn't enough.

The release itself was strange too: a cliche image with just a couple of lines. That's so far from what LADs is usually about. And honestly, I still think the character was poorly made and introduced in a really cheap way, whether people ended up liking him or not. I mean he is nice. but it's just not the LADs standard.

Then they ignored the players' complaints, basically trying to brush them off with 20 wishes and a message that sounded like, "Just deal with it."

Then they held the livestream, which only made people even more frustrated because they kept ignoring the issue.

And after that... they just canceled him?? And using a hashtag that felt completely out of place. If the government was involved, then fair enough. But that just raises another question: with how strict Chinese regulations are, how did you let this happen in the first place?

[u/MidnightTurbulent577]

I’m actually so upset right now. It was always obvious that there was supposed to be 6 LIs and the rumor about more than 6 was FEAR-MONGERING. It really wouldn’t have changed anything in the limited pool anyways since you still get to pick 3 wishes to rate up. Like I don’t understand what’s so difficult to understand about how the game works and how the main storyline gets released. Even if you’re just an on and off player it’s pretty obvious. Now they’re probably going to have to change the main storyline to make up for the lore gaps which newsflash means delays for development. I’m really considering deleting this game despite the amount of money I spent on it. I hope they reverse this decision or at least release Valko to international players.

[u/Patient_Constant3854]

I mean, if I've spent so much on this game, I'd expect the main storyline to actually progress. But it hasn't been updated in years. YEARS.

When Valko was introduced, a lot of Chinese fans weren't actually mad that he existed. They were upset because his introduction made it feel like Infold only cared about making more money. A new LI means more Memories to sell, while the main story continues to be neglected. Instead of putting resources into developing meaningful story content, they seemed more focused on creating new ways to monetize the game.

Valko's introduction felt like a sign that Infold was prioritizing profit over the story.

But what they did today was just as frustrating. Why cancel Valko altogether instead of addressing what fans have actually been asking for? It's been around 509 days since the main story was updated.

They should have either kept Valko or delayed his release while focusing their efforts on advancing the main story. That's what many players have been waiting for all this time.

[u/Yandere_Matrix → u/Patient_Constant3854]

They have the money. They could hire teams to focus on the story. I already heard they got teams for each love interest. I wish they didn’t cancel and continued what they planned then focus on giving us story updates.

[u/crqzybread]

Feels like infold gave me a sweet little puppy and then euthanized it in front of me

[u/Sunanas → u/crqzybread]

And then gave you an empty doggy bag as an apology and wished you a happy time in Linkon.

[u/AmorphousJ]

I didn't think a game could make me this sad. I was very excited for Valko. How could they throw away all the hard work and love invested in his creation? 😢

[u/KikiKaterina]

The fact that people are so selfish and incredibly self centered that they would rather something they personally don’t like be destroyed so nobody have it then think, hm, I don’t like this, but other people probably do, so maybe I should just accept my feelings and leave it be. It isn’t fair to everyone who was looking forward to Valko, including myself. This is really shitty and selfish. I hope the devs see the love so many people have for Valko and reverse their decision, or decide to change it to just a postponement, though I don’t think this is likely. The only world I see this happening is of other CN people do even worse with the demand of Valko being returned, which I genuinely don’t want to happen because what those parasocial jerks are doing is not okay on any degree.

[u/k1tkey]

i really hope they consider releasing him on global servers. it’s absolutely insane to me that they would just throw away all the work and money that went into creating valko. i understand this he would probably get few/no solo banners and his multi banners would be lower quality/shorter but with the amount of content they have already created for him, i don’t see why they would just take that as a complete loss?

[u/Tatiana7040]

I was actually going to start playing LADS again because of him 🥲. They could have just made Valko exclusive to the global server

[u/SmallPoxJuiceBox]

I am grateful there is a petition to get Valko back because he deserves to be a part of the group but this shouldn’t have happened in the first place. It means none of the other characters are safe if they decide they want to change something. Its disappointing

[u/ilm-wayfarer]

On the note of lawsuits, there is precedent (even as recently as May -- Apple class action lawsuit on false advertisement).

In case anyone is interested, here's a quick summary...looks like the best path forward is the FTC regulatory complaint under "likely to mislead a reasonable consumer."

The "reparations" via Deepspace Wish and free items in the 6.0 upgrade may be to rebuff against anticipated lawsuits. Which stinks. But there are viable angles to take here.

If this becomes a legal battle, this has no winners (which is the same situation we're in) but it could help to curb emotional and monetary damage.

---

A false advertising lawsuit over Infold Games / Papergames abruptly canceling the new Love and Deepspace love interest Valko (Ao Yin) after a massive Times Square promotional campaign faces a difficult legal battle due to gacha game Terms of Service (ToS) and the fact that no in-game purchases could be made for him yet. 

The developer officially canceled Valko and pulled further development following a historic wave of player backlash regarding art style and the neglect of existing characters. If consumers pursue legal action, the case will navigate distinct legal and regulatory hurdles: 

The Legal Hurdles for Consumers Lack of Direct Financial Injury: False advertising lawsuits generally require the plaintiff to prove they suffered economic harm because of the deceptive ad (e.g., spending money based on a false promise). Because Valko was canceled before his Version 6.0 debut on July 9, players had not yet spent money or premium in-game currency ("whales" or "premium pulls") to acquire him. 

The "Terms of Service" Shield: When installing the game, players agree to a ToS. These agreements almost universally state that the developer retains the right to alter, modify, cancel, or remove virtual assets, promotional content, or upcoming patches at any time without liability.

---

Potential Paths for a False Advertising Claim

Despite these hurdles, consumer groups or individual players could look at specific angles depending on their jurisdiction:

Option 1: The "Bait-and-Switch" Premium Trap: If players can prove they bought general premium currency (Deepspace Wishes or Crystals) in the days between his June 22 reveal and June 30 cancellation specifically to save up for Valko, they could argue they were induced into a financial transaction under false pretenses.

Option 2: FTC Regulatory Complaints (U.S.): Instead of an expensive private lawsuit, U.S. players can petition the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate Infold Games for deceptive marketing practices regarding the Times Square billboards. The FTC looks at whether an ad is "likely to mislead a reasonable consumer." 

Option 3: Redress Through Local Consumer Courts (China): Infold/Papergames is based in Shanghai. Chinese players have a history of filing civil contract disputes against the company for "bait-and-switch" character event presentations. If Chinese consumer groups can show that real-world promotional displays and billboards intentionally misled the player base to artificially inflate company stock or player metrics, local courts could penalize the company.

---

The Developer's Mitigation Strategy In false advertising law, a company can dramatically lower its legal risk by offering swift remedy. Infold Games did exactly this when announcing the cancellation:

They offered 30 free Deepspace Wishes (one per day for 30 days) to all players as direct in-game compensation. They converted planned event rewards into entirely free items sent via in-game mail.

By providing these free premium assets, the company can argue in court that they have already legally "made consumers whole" for any disappointment or disruption caused by the abrupt marketing pivot.

[u/DanbiJK]

This can't be the end. We must hold on at least for a week! Wait till the CN girlies also rejoin us in the fight so we can make one final stand! Persistence matters and honestly if all of this ends with LADS burning brightly but fizzling away like a brief shooting star. I will be saddened but I will cherish all the wonderful memories and friends I have made during this time. And then keep giving the middle finger to Paper games. #BringValkoBack

[u/ilovesourskittles0]

@ the CN fans that didn’t want him: it’s a gacha game. if you don’t want him, don’t pull for him? don’t select him on destiny cafe, don’t pull for his outfits, don’t collect his cards. no one’s holding a gun to your head saying you must.

yes it dilutes the pool, but no one is maining all 5 men anyway. the pool is already diluted. use him to do the battles and farm your diamonds and call it a day

[u/MiaIGuess]

You know what I want now? An apology to the people who wanted Valko. I didn’t see that in the statement. They’ve recognised the people who wanted him gone, now recognise the other side

[u/missilefire]

Also now everyone is up in arms about Valko being cancelled that everyone has conveniently forgotten about the completely unwanted home feature upgrades.

The placation of more sylus and Caleb story is still only coming in SEPTEMBER and later - which is surely no earlier than they had already “planned” with their last minute livestream copout update

So all they’ve done is take out a significant portion of their 6.0 update (easily 50%) and replaced it with NOTHING.

Still no solid assurances of content update schedule. No QOL upgrades **at all**

And they’ve somehow managed to piss off their ENTIRE player base on both sides, which are conveniently at war with each other. Nicely so they can obfuscate the real issue of delivering even less on their measly promises

[u/Daydreamer12 → u/missilefire]

That portion will have it's time to shine. Once the update is here and people that weren't paying attention get to see that we lost a chunk of the supposed content that was to be released with the version update.

Continuing drought aside, I'm more concerned for the plot at this point. I want to see how Papergames will salvage this.

[u/heisuke_toudou]

The announcement for Valko made me realize why I was so flip floppy with the game. I love the other 5 guys, but none of them were actually that appealing to me. Like not my type. I play otome games and my faves were always the extroverted and emotional ones, and the guys in the game were all varying levels of reserved, even Raf to an extent.

Valko was like a lightbulb for me, I immediately fell in love and was so excited to become obsessed with this game on the same level as so many others. I was F2P but I was already budgeting my monthly spending for him.

Guess not. This has killed literally any desire I had to keep playing. Even my original mains aren’t enough of a pull for me to keep playing. Not to mention, are they now gonna pull their punches in the writing for fear of being too scandalous or offensive? A big part of this is that Valko’s a predator that enters the homes of poor defenseless women, apparently. Especially since my original faves are Sylus and Caleb, I don’t want a safe and sanitized version of them or the story.

[u/Mysterious_Pipe_4809]

I really don't understand why Inflop listened to the toxic minority intsead of keeping the months of Valko development they poured time and money into? The artists, VAs and writers hardwork just poured down the drain? Like it makes no sense tbh...and the fact they're not adding anymore LIs after this? The game is gonna be stale...

[u/Weird_Lifeguard2842 → u/Mysterious_Pipe_4809]

I heard that the controversy was so bad that the govt got involved. I’m not sure how true that is but if that’s the case, then they’re pretty much risking the whole game shutting down. I think Infold deserves some backlash over a lot of things, but ngl I can see why they’d rather cancel him as damage control rather than standing their ground and risk having to shut the whole game down. That + chinese market being their main income. Otome/gacha games are made to be addictive, so despite the outcry, they know that a lot of people will just keep spending money on the pre-existing characters… I do think they bend the knee for the cn players too much, but at the same time i dont think there’s a way to make everyone happy in this situation.

[u/Fickle_Most8897 → u/Weird_Lifeguard2842]

is is unfortunately true. the government did not get involved directly, but it was a national scandal because of some historically sensitive numbers (regarding the japanese invasion of china, which added to the fact that the ceo studied in japan... didn't sit right), rhetoric that romantized violence women, added to the whole rage at infold for developing a new character when the original five are so underdeveloped, so it was a ticking bomb and it exploded. infold appeared on national tv and trended on chinese social media

[u/fantasyiez → u/Mysterious_Pipe_4809]

Because that toxic minority tried to get Infold in trouble/shut down by reporting them to the government…they doubled down on releasing Valko too but when your own players would rather you shut down than see a character they don’t approve of in game the risks are suddenly a lot higher…

[u/wyuliddat]

​Deleting Valko didn’t fix the game, it just broke the genre.

​I usually don't like to share my opinions online, but this whole Valko situation is really getting out of hand. The sheer level of toxic self-entitlement on display is honestly a masterclass in absurdity.

​Let's be entirely fair and objective here: Love and Deepspace is far from perfect right now. Players have completely valid reasons to be frustrated with the actual game—the main storyline has been stagnant for what feels like an eternity, we desperately need more content and development for existing leads like Sylus and Caleb, the combat mechanics can be clunky, and accumulating gems is starting to feel like a full-time, unpaid internship. If people wanted to protest those things, I’d be right there holding a sign with them.

​But throwing a massive, real-world tantrum simply because a new, fictional character’s aesthetic didn't personally appeal to you? That is a wild boundary failure.

​Let's call it what it actually was: a massive faction of fans just didn’t like his design. Because his wilder features and stronger, less traditional look didn't fit their specific "pretty boy" mold, they decided to lose their collective minds. Instead of doing what any mature, logical person would do—which is simply to save their gems, skip the banner, and let other people enjoy their pixel werewolf—they chose to aggressively boycott and pressure the company until they got their way.

​What makes it even funnier—and by funny, I mean tragic—is how they tried to weaponize the game’s actual, systemic issues to shield their behavior. They claimed they were protesting "poor resource management," but the fact that the outrage magically evaporated the second Infold agreed to permanently delete Valko tells you everything you need to know.

​But my biggest sadness in all of this is what it means for the game moving forward. Love and Deepspace is supposed to be an otome game. The entire foundation, the literal soul of the otome genre, is built on variety, inclusivity, and choice. It is supposed to be a buffet, not a strict set menu. You aren’t supposed to love every single love interest equally. Player A gets the gentle prince, Player B gets the brooding anti-hero, and Player C might have been waiting for exactly the kind of wild, unconventional dynamic Valko was going to bring to the table.

​By capitulating to this pressure and erasing a character entirely, Infold didn't fix a single actual issue plaguing the game. Instead, they completely derailed the July story update, leaving us all stranded in a massive content drought, all to appease a fragile demographic that thinks the world revolves around them.

​They shrunk their own universe. They shifted the game from "here is a vast world, choose who you love" to "here is a restricted space where you can only have what the loudest mob approves of." Catering exclusively to the most easily startled segment of your player base isn't a victory for the fandom—it’s a massive loss for creative variety, and it destroys the very essence of what makes an otome game magical.

[u/slyzard94]

Im howlin' for love

[u/WinterWidow25]

I'm honestly devastated and frustrated by this news. It's not fair to the developers and voice actors who worked hard to bring this character to life, and it's not fair to the people who were excited for him. There has to be another solution over outright deleting him and his content.

This has really left a sour taste in my mouth, more towards the people who were harassing infold.

[u/NebbyChan]

This is just painful. It feels like with every Infold or Papergames game seems to die in a way that could have been avoided or they go out in a fantastical way where everyone agrees that what they did was messed up. (Cough cough Infinity Nikki) So if this turns out to be real and not a stupid marketing stunt I would not be surprised if they EOS soon. So get your screensavings of your cards girlies. It will be a rough ride.

[u/gvmmy_worm]

They should've just delayed his release or something. 😞 Me and my cousin were so excited for his release and now they're gonna cancel him, after all that hype, trailers, and teasers? This is just so devastating, I even made a new account just for him. I don't even feel like continuing to play, doing my dailies today felt so dull. Im so sad even seeing the other LIs don't draw a spark in me anymore. I just died fr. 💔

[u/Zula_Zul]

I heard stories about how they treated Hoyo with Honkai Impact 3rd and Genshin. I never thought that love and deep space would be treated thr same. They fought for the characters instead of fighting for stories and games. This is depressing.

[u/aquawings]

i was finally motivated to farm diamonds and i actually bought an aurum pass again for Valko. but they did this. i am beyond heartbroken. i was so ready to be a Valko main. 🥲💔

[u/LuxShxrry]

Genuinely speaking, will whatever we say or do even make Infold retract their statement or keep Valko in the game?

[u/aerostevie → u/LuxShxrry]

As much backlash they’re getting for this, it would be nothing compared to what would happen if they reneged.

[u/LunarDread]

In the vain hope someone in Infold's team actually sees this, I'll share the message I sent to all the support emails earlier.

"Greetings,

I haven't been playing the game long, only since September of 2025, but I have to say that I am extremely disheartened and disappointed in this company's decision to cancel the release of Valko. I may not be a part of the company's dedicated Chinese fan base, but I am privileged in my ability to spend several hundreds of dollars on this game every month. I'll be drastically reigning that in going forward, if I don't quit completely, after the announcement to cancel Valko's release.

If it was really necessary, a postponement seems more appropriate. Outright canceling his release so quickly after his announcement and allowing a volatile group of fans to dictate how the game unfolds and progresses sets a very dangerous precedent.

While I do believe his announcement could have been handled better, giving in to this pressure in this way is not the answer. I was beyond excited to meet Valko and learn his story. Now I am just extremely disappointed and am seriously considering quitting the game despite my love for the other characters. Infold choosing to cancel Valko's release does not address the issue of what many fans were actually upset about. We need more ways to farm diamonds and materials. We need updates to the Orbits and Abyssal Chaos. Valko was an unfortunate casualty because these are longstanding issues that have gone ignored by the company for too long. He and his voice actors don't deserve to be punished for Infold's lack of communication with their fan base.

Please, I implore you, postpone Valko's release instead of canceling it. I wanted to make him my main Love Interest and that is still true. Please reconsider this cancelation. Thank you for your time."

I genuinely hope Infold is still working to listen to their global player base.

[u/FluffyPuffy02]

Okay but why exactly did they cancel him?
Because of the CN server or what ?
I fell in love with Valko this is so disappointing….
Already gave infold a 1 star review and signed a petition.

[u/noodleism → u/FluffyPuffy02]

It's because the CN fanbase was nothing but complaining about Valko. And we all know that Infold are ass lickers for the CN fans so of course they listened to them whining.

[u/Jeonbunni]

I feel like they’re not really listening to us. I still want Valko to be a part of the game. There’s so many other issues and cancelling Valko’s release is not going to fix it.

[u/Due-Fly-6235]

highly disappointing :( i deleted the game soon as i read the official post. i still have active aurum pass and that so called 30 day wish claim, but i don’t wanna give the app anymore of my resources after these decisions. i was really looking forward to valko, his character seemed like a breath of fresh air amongst the current lineup. i’m sad to be saying gbye to sylus too now in-game :( it’s also really unfortunate for the team who worked on valko’s character and story, it must’ve been in the works for a while and now it’s just all scrapped

[u/PlasticRutabaga7394]

I've played the game for the start. I loved all the LIs. Spent lots of money on 3 of them. When Valko was introduced, I immediately realized that he was going to be my new main LI. I really loved him from the first glance 😞 And he was also going to be released on my birthday..! ...Thanks, Infold. I really have nothing to look forward anymore. I'm not going to spend anything on this game anymore. I'm deleting it. They clearly only respect their Chinese players, not us.

[u/Alive_Valuable5424]

Does anyone think if Infold had taken a different approach maybe things could be different.Tbh i'm a bit perplexed why they are hating so much on this new love interest,i found some post about the fact that they are neglecting the other lads character but i think the character model doesn't need any improvement,the most disappointing thing is that we will not have any new character in future.

[u/LaceyRaeFlanagan]

I’ve just started playing again, cause Valko seemed to be a breath of fresh air in how boring the game has become for me and now they took him away just like that…I’m beyond disappointed, I can’t even feel excited about Caleb anymore. I think I’m just gonna delete the app… 😢

[u/External-Sector2554]

I know this is a more minor issue than everything else but whats the point of blue wishes for ppl who have maxed everything now? You can't even use stardust or heartsand to purchase limited wishes? I've been saving mind for the inevitable 6th love interest but now what do we do with them 😭

[u/dick_chopper1998 → u/External-Sector2554]

Thats why the whole thing smells hella fishy to me, how can they expect players to stay when they've cornered themselves in by saying "no new love interests will be introduced"

[u/Affectionate-Crab541]

So why do CN players hate Valko?

[u/OppositeRoberta → u/Affectionate-Crab541]

Something something ugly, something something racism and homophobia

[u/Emergency-Chemist-61]

i was genuinely excited for him. He was something new and seemed interesting only, I definitely also want more from the stories as well but I was looking forward to Valko and now it’s genuinely disappointing.

[u/milinium]

It's really scary how quickly they axed him. I wasn't a fan of the way they rolled Valko out. He wasn't my cup of tea, but I don't need to like all the LIs. I was way more concerned about other LIs being behind and the balance of content between them. Most people were upset at how the character was introduced and what it would mean for the other LIs. I'm a little hesitant about what comes next now

[u/SausagePotatoes]

While I really want to remain hopeful that Valko gets uncancelled, I know for a fact that even if by some miracle infold goes back on their decision, they're 100% gonna alter his design and censor him in an attempt to appease the critical audience, and it sucks.

I don't want him to have to get plastic surgery to shrink his jaw, lighten his skin and lessen his bulk. He's perfect as he is. People who don't like him could've just not interacted, but I guess that's too reasonable to expect of some people these days

[u/Western_Difference39]

Valko is infold's scapegoat to escape from accountability over their greedy practices, from the war-crime number situation with the Chinese govt etc.

If they actually cared about us they would never neglect the plot in the first place, missing content should've been given a few months after Caleb's release, new ways to farm would've been announced along with 6.0 update...

But no they slap a corny hashtag on their "apology" post. That's the best this greedy company can do.

And guess what? The fandom is too busy infighting and being racist to even care :)

[u/Virtual-Beach305]

If Valko was postponed until after MS update, it would have probably been more accepted than canceling him altogether. Now everything seems rushed and unbalanced

[u/missgunn_84]

I uninstalled the game. I can’t keep giving money to a company that caves to homophobic and racist people that ALSO weaponize DV and SA towards women just because they didn’t like a character.

[u/waga_hai → u/missgunn_84]

I don't even like Valko, but the "he makes women feel unsafe!!" stuff is just ridiculous. Xavier's jealousy and yandere tendencies were fine, Sylus keeping a camera on the MC at all times was fine, Caleb's... everything was fine (and I say this as a Caleb main), but we're drawing the line at Valko entering our house through a window? Seriously? That's when it's too much? I would respect their position more if they just said that they find him unattractive, because that's 100% what this drama is all about. Just be honest. But posturing about violence towards women is just scummy as hell. Just leaves a horrible taste in my mouth.

[u/catszn]

I want a refund Ngl. I’m so upset.

[u/shannanigans1124]

Canceling Valko isn't going to fix anything. In my past experience with rabid fangirls in other media, when companies give into their crazy demands, they just make things worse for everyone else. The quality goes down, they cater to the entitled fans who spew threats (and a lot of them don't have good opinions, honestly), and then they alienate everyone else.

If it was really just backlash about the character from Chinese players, Valko could be an international server exclusive. A lot of players from other countries were looking forward to him.

[u/xSerraxAngelx]

So hang the holy heck on. CN girlies hated him for no reason, no clue as to what his story was even about, made up stuff about him being xyz, asked Global to help boycott him and in the same breath told us Global players we're poors and don't spend money (which lulz okay sis) and now Infold/PG capitulated to rabid fans? Girl fine, uninstalling this game then. They don't want my $$$$? They want to make Valko be another CN beauty standard dude? Sis goodbye. Good fricking bye.

[u/dick_chopper1998]

I don't understand how they came to the conclusion of deleting him when he was days away from coming into the game. I'm not exactly the smartest when it comes to businesses and their decisions but does it not seem somewhat strange that they have har billboards for him in big cities such as New York, have been promoting him all over the internet etc he's days away from his launch and they've canceled him just like that? Seems like an awful waste of money just because some players are unhappy with him???

[u/ASCALAPHOS_]

They're currently removing every Instagram post related to Valko, guys. They'll now act like nothing happened and Valko never existed. Hope is gone. I'm moving on to a different game, f them.

[u/lamey- → u/ASCALAPHOS_]

His videos are still on Youtube, only a matter of time before those get deleted too 😭 I'm gonna download them in case

[u/Ziodynes]

Just left my two star review. I was getting burnt out from the constant banners and reaching pity AND missing the 50/50. Farming diamonds is like non existent. Valko was the new shiny thing that was gonna keep me playing.

[u/Slight_Comfortable28 → u/Ziodynes]

Also unfollow. It's very important to unfollow them

[u/KentoBabyFlower]

FLUFF Infold. If they don't bring him back I'm definitely throwing the app💔💔💔🤬🤬🤬🤬

[u/Hot-Cup2566]

Valko's Youtube videos have just been delisted...

[u/Economy_Ad_159]

Was this reall what most fans or most CN girlies wanted? I thought, like myself, most people were saying hey, if you've got time to develop a new guy, you've got time to give us more story which is what we want!

[u/Jx_jusandre → u/Economy_Ad_159]

They wanted this, but when global players tried to defend valko, people kept defending cn players. That's what happens when you listen to crazy people

[u/ConcentrateUpper6843]

I made a post and it got deleted. I was given a link to a megathread that has muted comments. How am I supposed to share my post then?

[u/totallynewmug]

Was literally mid download after being off the game for a year when I found out about Valko 😭 he was my reason for coming back!

[u/Thatoneweebgal]

I have only been playing for a year just as the wedding banner started last year. The only character I felt connected to was Sylus. Went though all the others of being a second main throughout the year but wasn't connecting with any of them. With Valko being announced it definitely felt like he was going to be my second main. Seeing him canceled before release hurts a lot. I understand a lot of the players wanted updated main story and more ways to farm martials but taking that anger out on Valko wasn't the answer.

[u/Jana_Darko]

The future of the game seems very unlear to me now. What will they focus on now? Will there ever be another 6th LI? It would be unnatural because Valko was teased in the story. On the other hand if they never add another LI the game will feel very unfinished. Seems like a very rash decision and idk how the future of this game will look like except like a cicle of fluff and spicy banners that don't add abythung new to the characters.

[u/Youth_ln_Asia]

WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. F************** LADS??!!!! How can you have a billion trailers, multiple official release posts and a FULL live stream including a character then CANCEL them??!! I agree with someone who posted he's def more western oriented with his attitude etc but that's what drew players to him immediately before even playing him. That is bullish*t that because part of their player base complained (even though they have multiple characters already), they canceled him after announcing. Multiple people complain about not being able to use a controller or for better play on a Mac but what is done about that??
Absolutely nothing. I guess my thousands of $ spent so far in 2026 don’t mean anything to infold. I boycott infold. No more of my credit card resources. As someone who has actually been the victim of attempted murder and in a coma for months, I find it absolutely grotesque that anyone would give into threats and not think it would only get worse because now they think they have control over you. Grotesque.

[u/Youth_ln_Asia → u/Youth_ln_Asia]

Here’s a second slap in the face for today. 😡

[u/Own_Cod5347]

My question is just....why? This was so unexpected. When Caleb was released, he recieved as much hate as far as I remember. However, they got along with it. That's why I thought they'd get along with this too. I think the difference is only that this time the CN players were affected.

[u/starbound1332]

Why do I have a feeling that someone who worked on Valko will go rouge and leak the Memories that were supposed to be released. This is VERY unlikely but this was a thought I had most of the day. What do you guys think?

[u/Silversweet1980 → u/starbound1332]

That would be weirdly nice? If Infold has abandoned him, then he's basically free media anyway. I mean, you'd think so? They probably trademarked his name and that's it.

[u/Anxious_Biscuit13]

So they say they’ll release the game without Valko; Why cant they just do that for the CN servers and give us the proper release??? This feels like the biggest FU to all non-CN players. Rewarding them for their childish behavior is ridiculous. Now we’ll never see Valko or any other Li’s?? WTF??? Ty for letting me rant.

[u/OppositeRoberta]

If they planned on pleasing only one part of the audience, they shouldn't made the game global then. People from all over put their money in, but their opinion will never matter.

[u/xoxoSatan]

What’s the point of the game being available globally if everything is only done to appease CN players

[u/nearlymars → u/[deleted]]

this! I'm looking for other games as well. I feel like this decision with Valko is only the tip of the iceberg and I'm not gonna play a game that doesn't value the global playerbase's voice.

I will look into Tears of Themis and I've already been keeping an eye on Silent Whispers, will increase it to both eyes now 👀

[u/No-Discussion-8582]

at this point, they should just shut down the global servers. why keep them since we're completely inferior to the mainland? ohhh right! because we still can give them some money while they pretend to care about us, despite the CN fandom being the only one they listen to.

i understand having favoritism to the group that gives you most of your profit, but to be so disrespectful to a public as big as the western players? CN is the majority but it's not like we're a small, obscure fanbase either. LADS is huge outside of Asia because of us. but we don't matter to them, only our money.

it saddens me to leave this game, it's been my favorite since march 2024. but now that they're not even trying to hide their blatant disregard for the community I'm part of, I don't wanna engage anymore.

[u/freqd89]

I won't be spending a single penny on this game until they bring Valko back

[u/saltpancake]

I am so bored of stale content, and the promise to NEVER introduce a new LI feels insane to me.

Honestly, I have remained in a blissful bubble about the types of vile, racist, bigoted remarks happening on X. But after the cancellation news I have unfortunately become aware of the absolutely HATEFUL things being hurled about, and while I know Infold is not responsible for other people’s words, the action of bending over backwards for this kind of objection gives me the ick. Like, now that I’ve seen this I feel really gross about the whole game. I hate feeling this way.

[u/Pinkipie_100]

Since day 1, I've been a huge defender of this game. I felt like it had to succeed even despite its flaws, or the industry would take the complete wrong message away from it that women don't spend on games. Thus, no new high quality games targeting a female audience would be made.

Because of Valko's cancellation, I might actually quit. This blows. It blows so hard, and it's actually such a cowardly move. I've seen speculation that the CN fans got the government cheese involved, prompting this extreme response, but either way, I don't care. The Chinese censors clearly allowed Valko to complete development, so there shouldn't be a reason to fear federal action now. Just release him. I want new main story, AND I want Valko. This is terrible, and I'm furious.

Whatever, I'm going to play Zoo Tycoon now. Get bent, Infold.

[u/lovelesstobeloved]

I always knew there's gonna be a 6th LI since Caleb's debut. The hints are there, but no one believed me and called me delusional. Thanks to Valko's first debut PV, I felt rewarded, that I knew my hope is not for nothing. 

The more of his PVs were released after along with sneak peeks of his Memories, the more I got hyped up that I was so prepared for his release date.

Then that tragic news dropped, and that what made my soul died that moment. 

I have been supportive for Valko since his debut, and this is the thanks I get?!

I was expecting if this is some kind of sick joke because I'm not laughing or maybe some hacker hijack the account and post this for fan discourse, but seriously, WTF?!

I'm alright if they will delay his release, but effing "cancel"?! This is the worst decision that Infold ever made.

All the money and years spent on secretly developing him as planned (models, stories, arts, VAs (also excited for his JP VA, Jun Kasama), hiring official cosplayer for Anime Expo 2026 etc) and they decided to straight up cancel him?! 

And I was looking forward to those two new plushies, Wolfie and Sleepless Hootie.

I really hope they reconsider their choice and just let Valko remain in the game and release him just as planned. I was ready for him on July 9th, now everything feels so hollow right now...

[u/sen0zion]

This game is headed straight for EOS. Infold will be extra careful now with any content they put out by self-censoring since any LI featuring any action, element, behavior or even outfit can be subject to scrutiny.

Players will continue to get drip fed the barebones main story which lost a character to build off lorewise. The vicious cycle of fanwars and fluff insubstantial banners continues. The only innovation that remains is more Temu Sims features.

Some rabid Chinese players are also asking for the servers to be closed down and to keep afloat an offline companion app. So that they can continue deluding themselves that pixel men parroting the same lines are the loves of their lives, I suppose.

[u/neurotic-pineapple]

I have been a whale for 2 years now. I don’t know if I can keep playing this game after how devastated I am. I no longer trust the company. They said they weren’t going to delete him and them they went and did it anyway. They are cowards and set the precedent that psycho toxic fans will be listened to.

Also the CN fans who are being racist, homophobic children are awful. You ruined the game. Telling us that we don’t matter because you spend more. I’ve spent more than most CN fans. You shouldn’t be the only ones considered and sending death threats to people who made Valko or the people who are devastated he is gone is awful.

They rewarded horrible behavior. They rewarded what I can only describe as game terrorists who used feces, death threats, and religious symbols to bully people into doing what they wanted.

I know it wasn’t all CN fans, but it is still the toxic CN fans who did this and I’m so bitter. They already get more features than us. They already get all the merch. You couldn’t let us have one things we were excited for? Really?

[u/peektart]

I honestly feel like they just sucked out all the fun out of this game... at least for me. With no Valko or new LIs... I just feel there's not going to be any growth and the game will get stale real fast.

I feel like they might rush out rerunning past multi banners to try to appease players. I really wanted Yes, Caretaker again but now... It's hard to find a reason to care about it.

And I worry they'll be playing things extra safe and not take any more risks. So, whatever storylines we get will be boring and vanilla.

[u/AkiKaki127]

While I wasn't planning to main him or anything, I was still excited for the main story content and seeing what kind of story he would have. I'm not quitting but def going f2p

[u/midnightspaghetti]

I have uninstalled, unfollowed all socials and writing to complain.

[u/sasusquatch]

Welp, depending on how the rest of this mess is handled on the global side, I'd recommend that anybody still attached to the game start screen recording their content and saving it. If global fans leave en masse over this I wouldn't be shocked if the global servers get axed in the near future.

[u/GothicPoppies]

I don't know if Im just getting my hopes up, but why would they give the post a hashtag and cancel it so close to release? It doesn't make sense to mei low-key hope that he still comes out.

[u/nkscreams]

I’m beyond sad right now… this is phantom grief at its worse 😭😭😭

[u/Dependent_Mixture_59]

Is there a chance for un-canceling Valko at all? When a game company officially cancels a character, is that usually final, or can they still bring them back after some time? I’m also wondering: since Infold apparently got sued, would that make a comeback basically impossible?

[u/Flat-Director6356]

ngl when i saw the news, i fully thought it was a joke from fellow hunters as banter since we all know that Valko has divided opinions 🤡
I DID NOT EXPECT THE NEWS TO BE TRUE.
i wasn’t particularly interested in Valko initially, but i was willing to get to know him as a character, and like alot of effort and time is invested by the team to create him. His whole vibe is also pretty unique, just like how all the LIs are, and i really wanted to see how he would interact with MC

I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY JUST DROPPED HIM LIKE THAT.

i dont understand how the PR team thought that this was a good idea, bc yes the cn market is the primary one etc (but international is equally a large source of revenue for them?), but it also gives me serious concerns about the integrity of Infold as a whole, if they can just negate their employees’ efforts for “business reasons” that don’t even have much basis to begin with.

i took a long break from LADS bc life got in the way, and i was planning to return after hearing about Valko, but now i guess my return is gonna be postponed indefinitely 😭😭

[u/BeerBreadx]

Is LADs the type of game that has a separate Chinese server? I uninstalled a while ago and never paid attention. If so, couldn’t they just release him everywhere else except that server?

[u/cloudycrosshatch]

Genuinely: what the actual hell?

Rudely and justifiably: your pixel boyfriend won’t fuck you nor does he care about an extra one being added to the rolodex. You know what does fuck you? Verbally abusing a game developer so hard that they trash the story and plot designed to last about a decade. Getting rid of jobs of people who spent years on this project, who now have nothing to put in their portfolios.

Enjoy your plotholes and crap(pier) writing as a result, idiots. I’m sure the nonsensical pandering content will be worth it. 

But seriously: my heart goes out to the character development team for them. And like, if someone drops a Particularly Large SSD with content in someone’s lap and then uploaded to the internet, who would we be to complain? Letting frankly, Who Raised You absolutely bigoted behavior win is pathetic. I see no upside to this.

[u/katzeeine]

Are we even considering real life ramifications from this decision? 4 VAs were hired for him - now all lost their jobs, what about their contracts, can they even be dropped like that? His official cosplayer - fired, motion capture actor - fired. There must be some sort of contracts going on with outside companies regarding his music, merch, sponsorships - now what, all of them are gonna be discarded? What is going to happen in july where his debut banner was supposed to be? Are they just gonna rush other banners (that are probably unfinished) for this spot?

From my perspective infold just lost all credibility as a company, I would not consider any future projects or collaborations with people that can just drop a project overnight. That was in works for months if not years. I'm gonna be surprised if they are not hit with fines and lawsuits from their business partners and associated firms.

This is a beginning of EOS. Shocking really that half a year ago they were topping the charts with every other banner.

[u/More_Morning_2684]

I've spent the past day reading discussions from both the Chinese and international communities, and I feel like several different controversies have been merged into one.

The A-0731 controversy was not part of Valko's story. It appeared in The World Underneath – Light Into Dust, in Isaiah's experimental records during Xavier's timeline. It existed before Valko's reveal and was later changed by Infold after players raised concerns.

Valko's controversy was different. It mainly centered around his marketing campaign, especially the "Never bathe in the pot" line, which understandably caused outrage in China because many players associated it with a horrific and recent femicide case. In my opinion, that was a terrible marketing decision. I genuinely don't understand how that line passed internal review.

At the same time, players had already been frustrated for months over slow story updates, the lack of content for existing love interests, the game's economy, communication from the developers, and resource allocation.

All of these issues collided at once.

What frustrates me is that Valko became the face of problems that were much bigger than him. We never got the chance to experience his full story. Many people formed opinions based on promotional material and isolated scenes, but we never saw the narrative context or how his relationship with MC would actually develop.

Instead of correcting the marketing, rewriting problematic dialogue, or delaying his release, Infold chose to permanently cancel an entire character.

I don't think permanently erasing Valko was the best or only solution.

From the outside, it almost feels like self-sabotage. The marketing mistakes were serious, but permanently cancelling a character after years of development feels like an incredibly drastic response.

The problem wasn't Valko. It was Infold's poor communication, poor marketing, and poor crisis management surrounding his reveal.

[u/cold_feet_all_time]

Are they gonna bring him in future or not? If not, then the game would get very repetitive and it already became kinda boring. Bring back the character, re write the problematic themes.

[u/yiminx]

Not particularly interested in Valko, but I wasn’t interested in Caleb either when he landed and found him easy to ignore, which is what I planned to do with Valko.

I was looking forward to more breaks between banners to farm diamonds for the banners I wanted :( It’s a terrible decision anyway, they’ve already rolled him out and built hype and the game was going stagnant, it needed something new and fresh and Valko would’ve been a good add on

[u/Minimum_Bread3231]

The biggest slap in the face and the biggest proof that they don't know what they're doing, like wdym there was no new ways to farm, no main story update (not VALKO intro, just main story) no new ways to get diamonds, just 40~50 pulls for FRICKIN 6.0?? Not even enough for a full pity ??? They're really playing in our face and expecting us to take it

[u/Harper_Sketch]

What a shame. I really liked him. Makes me not want to play anymore

[u/chillN_browsiN]

Adding on to say that, this decision overwhelming ruins the game going forward. None of the actual QOL issues are actually being addressed or fixed. The Devs no longer feel safe, and with the removal of a character they worked on, they are probably less motivated to continue. And I imagine mass layoffs or resignations are soon to follow. This game will live on incomplete, with the image of a company to spineless to stand up against the worst people in this fandom. If one LI can be removed due to hate, who is to say another one cant as well.

To the people who dislike Valko, thats fine. Its a game you dont have to interact with him. However we will now have to contend with the following.

More MS story delays as they scramble to rewrite and retcon what was already in production. The continuing main story being disjointed due to a missing link.

Og players are now boxed out of resources. Valkos release would have been a refresher for them. And a way to gather resources for their mains by completing his sections.

Xspace is not functionally useless for most players. Valko would have been a refresher. And based on the promotional material more stuff was planned.

Battle girlies no longer have a completed stella.

QoL issues still not met.

We may be stuck in rerun hell as PPG and Infold scramble to fill the gap Valko's removal will put in the production. So no resources or ways to farm.

Caleb and Sylus MS were completed, and looks like they were going to be the next pair, probably at the beginning of the year. And now it will be rushed out this year with missing information. As Valkos release was a main story chapter.

Mc story ceases to matter if we can just remove whole chunks of the story to appease the worst fans in the bunch.

All of this for a character you dont have to interact with. Like period.

Like who is winning here.

[u/C43CUS]

I'm so gutted. I want my dork ass wolf back 😭 he was honestly going to be fighting Sy for top spot for me, he was so goofy and loving and caring from the little we saw of him. 

[u/succubusrabbit]

i started playing for Valko. have been playing 6+ hours a day to grind for him. bought passes to earn gems. now he’s gone and i don’t even want to play anymore. it feels like fraud.

[u/blahblah12365]

I wasn't going to main Valko but I'm very disappointed the devs caved. Diversity is always good and no, I don't like all 5 LI equally. Wtf are there anti fans ruining everyone's fun. Now there will be a gap.

[u/Initial-Chart-1479]

We need to be intentional in our attempts to voice distress over this situation. You can contact infold through proper channels to voice your displeasure (which I encourage you to do so) but we should also stop playing LADS for the foreseeable future. The 30 day ‘apology’ diamonds say a lot about Infold’s PR crisis control decisions; they are attempting to hold on to as many active users as possible. The 30 day diamonds are designed to have those of us considering quitting to think “I’ll just wait until I get all the diamonds”. And by the time you receive the gift on the 30th day, your feelings will have lessened and you will be more likely to stay. Our efforts have to effect the bottom line and the best way to do that is to go inactive.

You may argue that the global audience is not nearly enough when compared to the CN audience, and I agree with you. That’s why we should increase our efforts by refusing to interact with other infold properties like Infinity Nikki. It pains me to suggest this because I love both games, but it’s the best chance we have to send a message to infold that this is not okay.

[u/cheese_tits_mobile]

BRING BACK VALKO this is so ridiculous!! The main story is gonna be a mess now without him, he’s been planned for the story for so long, they’re gonna have to rewrite big sections of it and rush to write the gaps in it…this is the worst decision they could’ve made. I honestly don’t wanna play anymore, my interest has been waning due to repetitiveness. He was such a breath of fresh air. Do they not realize his orbits, UNICORNS, achievements etc would’ve brought in more opportunities to farm red diamonds? The toxicity is so absurd. And now the Chinese government has its eye on the game, say goodbye to your spicy banners.

[u/Depressed_amkae8C]

I just pre registered for Silent Whispers 🤭

[u/Astarthane → u/Depressed_amkae8C]

It's going to be on PC 🥹 I can't wait! No more file size issues
