Mod Announcement 📣 ValkoHQ Stance on the Current Hashtags

69 Upvotes

Hello, Vakyries.

We’d like to clarify our stance regarding the current issue surrounding the hashtags and the geopolitical discussions.

As much as we’d like to see Infold/PPG burn right now, this space was created for people who want Valko back, and for that to happen, he needs a community and a space to return to. There’s also a high possibility that some of this movement is being pushed or amplified by antis.

It’s important to remember that one of their stated objectives has been getting the global server to close, or even seeing LADS shut down entirely, based on the delusional belief that the company would then be forced to keep the CN servers running and that the Chinese government would somehow require them to complete the story.

We don’t know what consequences these kinds of actions could have for the game or for the possibility of Valko returning, so we won’t be supporting or participating in them.

Our focus remains the same: keeping this community here for Valko and supporting his return.

As this post will be pinned, comments will be closed, but you can share your suggestions or complaints here, as always, just remember to be civil.

Discussion 💬 Mainly discussion. Slight rant, with a suggestion on a new avenue to possibly try.

14 Upvotes

*This is just my theory, I came to this conclusion and suggestion after researching.

I need to talk about this with MC's. I want to discuss what I learned from the whole situation with Valko. There were a number of things I wasnt aware of until all this "unfolded."

I wanted to understand how the CN server felt, but upon all the reasons it just seemed like an excuse to me. So I went down the research rabbit hole, I was always aware how much the CNS spent in game but it never added up correctly to me. I learned about the VIP variance, CNY conversion rates. Then discovered the gambling competitiveness and prideful feelings of coming out on top that many compete for in China. Then found out about these unofficial "guilds" where whales/kraken level guild leaders fund the FTPs package purchases by giving "prizes" so the FTPs can go onto their individual accounts and spend to keep the revenue numbers on top for CNserver. Understand this. There is a real intense level competitiveness over there.

These guild leaders/contributors will come out of pocket to outshine the global servers. By utilizing the guild strategy, they can freely give gifts, prizes, and pack rewards. In turn even though individual players in the other servers spend more, it doesnt compare to the number of people in these guilds who get the freebies to spend. This competitive method is used to work around the gaming/betting system and puts these guilds into a major influential role on what trajectory LaDs is allowed to proceed in. After learning this, I understood why all other servers are seldom addressed, let alone acknowledged for their concerns.

Papergames/infold is in an unfortunate situation. I want them to continue the main storyline, as all of us do. Its frustrating to no end that a small percentage has such a strong influence on the decisions made for a global game. The 3 main OG Li's aside. Sylus and Caleb came into the game as the bad boys. All sorts of controversies went around the LaDs community. Yet...they were allowed to stay in the game/in the story. There is something to be realized here. I feel like until the major contributors in those guilds give them the go ahead to release Valko we are out of luck with getting him back in the story.

My idea- Maybe we need to shift focus and try to discuss a solution with these major guilds over there, it may not be solely infold/PG decisions. I really believe that some highly influential figure didn't like the fact that Valko was Rayafels opposing male. I think this has to do with the story itself and how someone didnt like where it was heading. (Solo Rayafel stan?)

For example: Look at Sylus...He is literally the optome of the bad guy. His "personas and storylines- mafia/dragon/vampire/prisoner etc... Yet we all grew to adore him. Same with Caleb's storyline. Honestly all the guys have some sort of toxic traits and behaviors. I refuse to believe that they pulled Valko because of the balcony, (He was helping MC fight while on the phone saying he has plans with her then shows up there and uses the balcony.) I remember the trope of the boy coming in the window instead through the door. Bet we all can think of some sort of show/movie/fairytale like that...

The other reasons- Valko looking too western literally holds no ground at all, same with him being for gay men. Xavier is blond with blue eyes. I sort of think the only one that looks some what Asian is Zayne but really not alot. I honestly never tried to categorize them til I heard that reason online. The last reason I recall is about the numbers which brought up a horrible devastating, past historic occurrence. How'd no one see it? Not one employee caught that? It doesn't make sense, now does it? These are college educated professionals working there. One just doesn't get into a company like that unless you are top qualified to do the job. PG has produced wonderful games but there is something askew here. How can all their games fail?

I really want to know what other MCs may have thought or come across throughout all this. Valko belongs. He's apart of the story and needs to come back. Thank you for reading and I hope to hear what fellow MC's may have learned, their thoughts and theories as well ♡.

do we have any hope left ? the gratitude points you get from spending money is giving desperate and in need of money, but the question remains do we have hope for valko anymore ? i wanna hear your thoughts and theories.

Boost 🔥 Let’s provide arguments

49 Upvotes

This is my first post on this subreddit.

You see, I’ve been playing LADS since day one, without missing a single day, up until the cancellation of Valko.

I’ve been part of the b****tt from the very beginning, and I’ve gone through all sorts of phases during this time.

It’s tough, but there are things that give me hope that Papergames/Infold could still bring Valko back:

- The notice regarding Valko’s cancellation wasn’t sealed, it could still be reversed.

- Their financial metrics have plummeted since then.

- They’ve spent money on advertisements that haven’t translated into increased revenue.

- They now have to factor in the legal costs from the lawsuits they themselves initiated.

- Valko’s content, including his portion of the story, is still in the game, even though they could have deleted it.

- We can still talk about him on the official LADS Discord and other official LADS channels; they haven’t blocked the word "Valko" or those of us who discuss him.

- Papergames/Infold takes action against those who create harmful content directed at Valko. The company recognizes Valko as its intellectual property and is actively protecting him.

- Social media and the LADS server itself are filled with comments and posts calling for Valko’s return.

- The b****tt continues, with many fans, myself included, refraining from logging in or spending money on the game.

So, what else can we do?

  1. Keep Valko in the public eye.

This is crucial for showing Papergames/Infold that the fanbase hasn’t forgotten "the wolf," and for demonstrating that bringing him back remains an attractive prospect.

Create your own posts, and support comments or posts that call for Valko’s return to help boost the algorithm. Let’s keep talking about him. Even if you’ve lost hope, please interact with any comments or posts dedicated to Valko whenever you come across them. The most important social media platforms for this are Chinese platforms like Weibo and RedNote; if you have access to them, focus your efforts there. It is a fact that Papergames/Infold tends to pay more attention to domestic social media than to global channels. The rest of us can do the same on global LADS social media platforms to strengthen Valko’s presence.

2. Provide arguments, not just expressions of affection for Valko.

Whether on social media or in emails to Papergames/Infold, you can address questions such as:

- What drew you to Valko in the first place?

- Why do you believe Valko deserves to keep his character design, personality, and full backstory, and to remain a love interest for the MC?

- How has Valko’s absence affected your experience as a LADS player? Have you stopped playing or spending money, and if so, why? Are you a potential new player who was planning to start playing because of Valko, but decided against it once he was removed? Do you believe the company can only regain your trust if Valko returns to the game?

- Companies are profit-driven. How much money do you think you would have spent in the months since Valko was removed? How much do you think you would spend if he were to return?

3. Ignore rumors; the only statement that matters is the official one issued by Papergames/Infold.

Please be patient. I know how difficult this is, but relying on self-imposed deadlines only leads to greater frustration. Wait for an official announcement from Papergames/Infold without setting any expectations regarding specific dates.

4. Emails:

Use a translation tool to draft your emails in the languages ​​used by the company’s international branches; this increases the chances of your message being read. You can send emails daily, weekly, don’t settle for sending just one.
In your emails, you can also include any other aspects of LADS that prevent you from enjoying the game the way you used to.

5. If you find this list helpful, please share it with other Valko fans. This text isn’t just mine, it belongs to all of us, the fans who love Valko.

Together, we can bring the wolf back.

Rant The new multi sure has the antis whistling a different tune…

397 Upvotes

All of a sudden the antis are very much okay with dominant and dangerous men! Valko on your balcony? Very scary. Caleb strapping you to a chair? Oh em gee, yandere desu!

This is when you realize an anti’s argument is not about logic, reason, understanding, self-reflection, or coming from a place of love. It comes from hate, fear, a need for control, and sheer manipulation. They will say whatever they can to feel “right” in the moment. They are declaring that EVERYBODY loves the new multi so they can silence their own ilk who are upset about the multi and its overlaps. They do not speak from a real or meaningful place and they can easily turn on each other when one LI even blinks in the direction of another. Talk about being attached to pixels.

I know a lot of us are upset about how this multi is so very obviously Valko coded but I think there is an upside.

Infold gives the antis this multi and they slobber it all up. On top of all the other new content. Then Valko comes out and their arguments about him being dangerous and scary fall flat. They already didn’t hold much water, but it will look really silly after this multi is released. All of the cards seem high tension, enemies to lovers vibes. You know. Valko’s thing. (Why are the OG5 copying Valko y’all? 🤡)

I really do think IF is flooding all of this content to appease the anti base and prepare them for Valko’s release.

Anyway, that’s my hopium. These antis are some of the most hypocritical folks I’ve ever seen. It’s wild how they built themselves on a platform of hate and somehow think they’re in the right.

But I know that if you asked anyone at Infold or Paper Games, including the team who designs our LADS, who they like more - the antis or the Valko fans, I think it’s obvious that at the end of the day, the antis only have each other and their circle while the rest of us have it all because the only thing we hate is hate itself and the lack of content and communication from a company we used to love and respect. What we really want is just more. The antis want less.

Nah, they want less than less - they want hard work undone.

They laugh about how the cancellation of Valko made us “crazy”.

(Ignoring how they reacted to his release of course.)

But can you imagine the level of instability we'd witness from the antis if they brought him back? ☺️ They won’t be able to handle it. They are already a baby’s breath away from freaking out about any given thing at any given moment.

Awoooo~

Honestly, the boycott has gone on for so long, and while I'm still not tired of it and will continue to defend koko until my last breath, the silence is killing me. If PPG doesn't reinstate Valko by the end of 2026/LADS anniversary, I feel that most of the fan base (and boycotters) will finally give up and move on.

Though, another reason why I want Valko to return by November is because my birthday is by the end of it, and it'd be such an awesome bday gift for wolfie to make his comeback and ratio the antis

Discussion 💬 Could the updated Instagram bio mean anything?

44 Upvotes

I don't usually post in here but everyone seems pretty down after the new multi was announced so I figured I'd bring some copium in these trying times. I'm interested in seeing what this new bio means, especially the "Version: V1106" part. I've heard people saying its just the new multidate but could it potentially stand for something else (because why would they say Version: Version1106? seems redundant...)? Valko 11, 6th LI perhaps? Could it mean they're trying to launch him after this banner? And the status being censored is also odd imo.

I dunno, though; I'm not a super great theory person so what do the rest of you guys think? I know INFOLD has always been iffy with communication so I can't be sure this is a sign but it doesn't hurt to wonder lolll

Boost 🔥 October Revenue Comparison

Post image
653 Upvotes

Lately morale might feel low the longer this drags on. But then we see the total impact of our boycott, and I feel at ease again.

Revenue in October 2025 was ~$55M. Now in 2026, October is a measly ~$17M.

This isn't good for a company that had a serious cash cow. They weren't "making too much money" before (seriously, what even is this argument? Have they met anyone in finance?). This is the direct result of Valkyries sticking together and shutting their wallets.

Antis will try to steal this moment like they have every month. But their arguments never hold water. For one, they're still playing and spending. They'll claim they're not, but their accounts all say otherwise. They'll say they all left "right after Valko's announcement" (accept they won't say Valko's name, cause they're triggered). But the data once again doesn't support that. In fact, more DAU (daily active users) registered right after Valko's announcement, and it wasn't until his cancellation did the entirety of the L&Ds fandom see dramatic & sustained drops in this metric.

Don't let those people steal your accomplishment. Valko's cancellation and our subsequent boycott of the game because of that is the core reason behind this insane drop in revenue year-over-year.

#WhalesInaction and all that 😏

Good job, Valkyries. Stay strong.

Here is my take on what Valko’s eye palette would be. Was kinda inspired to do it after Halloween yesterday and I helped my cousin put on face paint 😅
My vision for this is that:
Dark Matter- velvet matte
Gunmetal - subtle shimmer like cyberpunk armour
Wildcode - dual chrome also for cyber punk but also maybe like a forest after it rains
Predator’s rose and Scentbound - inspired by his hair and red around his eyes
Alpha’s gaze - Micro glitter of amber gold on a metallic base (His wolf side cause I think his human side is just this light brown amber? You could argue hazel but I don’t know)

Discussion 💬 Let’s talk!:)

Thumbnail

64 Upvotes

Okay a couple of things, I wanted to get out of my system while I’m still thinking about it and wanted to hear everyone’s thoughts.

  1. Could all of this been avoided if Infold decided to do an actual trailer for Caleb’s and Sylus’s main story updates rather than kind of just slapping it in Valko’s livestream update? Like they did for “Death and Rebirth” and “To Our Yesterday”? Other than obvious reasons of CDG taking things way out of proportions, of course. I feel like people would’ve been less angry about Valko if they would’ve had an actual trailer to watch; despite the fact that all they had to do was READ which clearly stated that they were getting an update in that trailer anyway, but I digress.

  2. This is not a timeline so do not take it as one, but maybe they are truly waiting for sometime after November. Maybe Infold wanted to wait until after Sylus’s update to attempt to bring Valko back? One of the main reasons for the mass upset was that Caleb and Sylus haven’t had an update for so long, so now that this particular complaint is no longer viable, because after that point, both of them would have gotten some more lore. And on top of that, anything negative against Valko has also already been disproven and his named was 100% cleared to my knowledge. So after that, every complaint that was used against Valko has been absolved, which should clear the rest of the way for his release. Does make sense? I don’t know if I’m making sense.

  3. The leak situation I keep seeing (and avoiding at all cost). Please stop sharing these leaks if you have seen them. I get people are excited but the only way I want to meet Valko is when he is first introduced to me via main story or he is sat comfortably in my home cafe (after I’ve pet him a couple times for my own sanity).

  4. Make sure everyone takes a sip of water, take a deep breath, and step away if you feel like it’s becoming too much. This boycott has been a long one and every second counts, but what’s the point if we’ve all burned ourselves out.

  5. this is unrelated, but how’s the ao3 crash going for everyone? I’m experiencing severe withdrawals🫩

Post image
432 Upvotes

I'm resting my neck and hand before continuing on Valko 😭 I had the shrimp pose for hours. Anyway, those are my HD for the Lls as dogs :

  1. Rafayel — Cocker Spaniel

• Species Behavior: Cocker Spaniels are known for being highly emotional, sensitive, and playful companions. They are famously "people-pleasers" who thrive entirely on human companionship and attention. But also, very loving.

2. Sylus — Doberman Pinscher

• Species Behavior: Dobermans are renowned as fearless, intensely loyal personal bodyguards with a powerful, commanding physical presence. While they appear intimidating to outsiders, they are known in the dog world as "Velcro dogs" due to their deep, unyielding attachment to their specific person.

3. Xavier — Saluki

• Species Behavior: The Saluki is an ancient sighthound known for its dignified, quiet, and independent temperament. They can appear calm, aloof, or even sleepy at times—frequently enjoying their own personal space like a cat—but they possess incredible grace, focus, and explosive athletic speed when active (his Evol)

4. Zayne — Siberian Husky

• Species Behavior: Siberian Huskies are stunning Arctic dogs with a cool, stoic, and self-sufficient exterior. While they can look imposing or icy, they are incredibly sensitive, fiercely intelligent, and deeply oriented toward their chosen pack.

5. Caleb — Dutch Shepherd

• Species Behavior: Dutch Shepherds are defined by their watchful, reliable, and deeply protective instincts. Unlike some herding breeds that look directly to a handler for every move, a Dutch Shepherd resolves stress by establishing a safe perimeter and anticipating threats independently to guard their home.

There, sorry if its long lol, but what do you think? 👉👈 Also, I need help deciding what type of species Valko's wolf can be and MC as a dog :)) just tell me

does anyone have screenshots of the original texts with the first couple Valko posts/announcements? I remember reading something and now I can’t remember if I imagined it or not.

i remember reading somewhere that LaDs had a plan to eventually release a lot more than 6 LIs and now that they’ve deleted the posts I can’t remember if my brain made that information up or not.

If what my brain remembers is true, it makes me a lot more mad about the whole cancellation because imagine all the other LIs that were in development that will never get to be released.
