You know what my biggest issue with Infold is?
1. If your decision is final and Valko is just too controversial for you to bring him back, then you can just say it. Just make a final post and finish this. Will we be angry? Fuming! But we are not the CDG, eventually we'll learn to let go. You will lose many of us, but you'll survive the storm. You will also appease those monsters under your bed who make your room eternally smell like cow dung.
You see how the playerbase is divided, some want you to pay the price of disrespect, while others will shower every one of your steps with flowers. This only damages your reputation more. It doesn't protect it. A volatile playerbase always brings you trouble. Not a single pixel in your game will be safe. Unless you are 100% sure that the gullible side will dance perfectly to your song tuned by the CDG and will remain under that spell for all time.
2. If you DO want to bring him back, you can just say it! You need time to fix the game? Fight the CDGs? Clear up controversies? (None of which there are any concrete evidence of them actually doing)
Fine. But COMMUNICATE. Tell us to wait. Tell us you're contemplating. Tell us you hear us or taking it into consideration. Use corporate language idc. Give us a date. Give us something. ANYTHING! Give us 1 reason to trust you again no matter how little it is. But you don't even do that. What do you do? You continue like nothing is happening, 'I see skies of blue' your way through every banner, 'what a wonderful world' your bleeding revenue.
Our biggest issue in this whole ordeal is the complete lack of communication or slightest consideration. The one week CDG incident had ALL your attention. You were in comments, posts, official announcements trying to appease a crowd that just wanted to destroy your product. And you let them. While for 2 months you have been disregarding and neglecting all of us who want to PROTECT your product, who are willing to lose money and sleep for it, willing to be violently bullied for it because despite how any of us feel about you as a company, we believe in your creative product.
These are your two doors. Both open. Both survivable for you.
Close it, and we grieve once again and eventually move on. Open it, and we wait however long you need. Either way you keep your dignity, and either way this ends.
Instead you picked a third option, the only one that costs you everything and gains you nothing. Silence doesn't calm the people who want you burned, and it doesn't reassure the people still defending you. It just keeps the wound open while you pretend not to see the blood.
When a company gives you nothing, the players start filling in the blanks themselves. Rumors from either side become roadmaps. Respective “Insiders” become gospel. One half reassures each other with things Infold never said or done, and then defends a company that never asked them to. The other half stops asking and starts swinging, because silence taught them it's the only thing the company feels.
So tell us @Love_Deepspace. Is the silence because it's complicated? Or because it's working?

(Eng ver) Video explains how it all went to hell in CN while we were out here being a 🤡 giving ppg benefit of the doubt, "Mon/Wed/Fri is not a good day!" Let's wait & show our respect🙏🏻
Sum: CN gov approved that Valko is innocent & has nothing to do with ppg's silence.
