Dear Decision Makers,
Last year, @Love_Deepspace stood proudly as a Best Mobile Game award winner. Today, I sometimes wonder whether you regret taking this game global now that players around the world can hold you accountable for the decisions you make.
Was it worth it?
Was ignoring the overwhelming feedback worth it? Was taking Valko away from players who were ready to welcome and support him worth the damage to your community’s trust?
You haven’t merely disappointed part of your domestic audience. You’ve alienated paying players across the world who once enthusiastically promoted Love and Deepspace as something special.
And what did you gain?
Players are boycotting. Goodwill is disappearing. People who once happily spent money are closing their wallets. An award can recognise what a game accomplished at one moment in time—but it cannot guarantee that the game will continue deserving that recognition.
Most painfully, countless talented creatives are caught in the consequences of decisions they likely did not make themselves—including the women whose creativity helped build a game celebrated by so many women.
Love and Deepspace was once something many players described as a safe and comforting space created with women at its heart. For some of us, that feeling has been shattered.
Your developers deserve better.
Your players deserve better.
The people whose work helped make this game an internationally celebrated Chinese creative success deserve better.
You still have the opportunity to repair this.
Bring Valko back. Listen to your players. Give us a reason to believe in Love and Deepspace again.

all we can do is wait.
i know it’s so painful. the silence is deafening. everyday, we wake up and hope for something, ANYTHING, but are lead astray time and time again.
we cannot burn ourselves out. it’s been a long journey already, but i fear our fight is one with no timeline. if you need, take a breather. rest up and come back stronger. just remember to stay focused on valko.
post positively about him. do so on weibo and red note if you can as well. keep his name trending. block hate. stay logged out and don’t give inflop a PENNY of your money.
we will bring valko home. we have SO much love to give.

GOOD MORNING VALKYRIES!! It’s a lovely day to not be logging into LADS! Let’s complete our boycott daily tasks and make sure inflop hears us.
Hate got an answer in 7 days. It takes longer to respond to love because our solution will take the longest to implement. (Aka we had to clear our man’s name, shut down the haters, donate to charities around the world, get billboards around the world and organize ourselves to not be bullied by minors😩) We gotta stay strong and keep fighting for our wolf! LOVE CONQUERS HATE!

Yesterday marked 3 weeks since the cancellation.
But TODAY? 🌙
Today we mark ONE MONTH since the official announcement of our 6th LI, Valko.
Isn’t that crazy? A month ago, people were having fun making memes, theorising about him, old players were debating returning and new players got interested in the game for the first time.
Of course no one expected the situation to escalate the way it did. I mean, who would have thought that we would end up in the situation we are currently in?
But look at us. We are still here. Still excited. Still talking about him.
Valko, we will not forget you. I can’t wait for you to come back.
