we can believe infold is going to bring valko back while also putting pressure on them. those are not mutually exclusive and we HAVE been doing that.
their revenue speaks for it. money is a universal language and it’s the one that talks the loudest for companies.
don’t spend.
@swallowedbymoss@PixelLover_Valk@Love_Deepspace New possible player interest is a good, but retaining paying players is a lot less expensive than finding new ones. PPG misinterpreted the CDG as the majority of spenders, but it’s clear that it is best for growth and retention to #bringvalko back!
@AwoooVALKO@Cyberpsycho__ Some people are empowered by hopium and don’t get knocked down when the expectations set up fall flat. Other people feel better knowing what Infold has done in the past, and are more motivated by anger, or they feel better if they a a realistic approach. Still, we all want Valko.
ngl im so calm. seeing how the myth is doing and how bad it looks for infold, im confident theres only two options, 6 or 0. so i can entertain the crack head theories and connect imaginary dots cus i know if its not abt valko, one day it will be
Я быстрее на работе загнусь, чем ты, собака, начнешь принимать верные решения
Но я напомню: чем больше ты молчишь- тем больше мы ненавидим тебя и любим Валко. Это неизменно и неизбежно

this is a fantastic example of the exact kind of empowerment that's phenomenal for users and catastrophic for infold, lmao. you do NOT want your customer base teaching themselves they don't need your product rooted in emotional attachment, but oh well! #deserved#bringvalkoback
For many of us, this boycott only ends when Valko is in game. If he never comes back? Neither do we.
It's not, "Oh, I guess I go back to spending $100s a month on this game." It's, "I'm not even downloading again."
Hopium or speculation or silliness won't change that.

Thoughts on Gamescom, Valko, and "signs" from Infold.
These topics have been going around the last few days, so I figured I'd share my own thoughts, in case anyone's interested ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don't think they're going to announce Valko at Gamescom. I'd be surprised if they did, but I don't believe it.
I also don't believe that all this flirting through design choices and letters is a hint, or an attempt to talk to us. It's more likely an attempt to calm our movement down and buy themselves time for whatever comes next. And yes — even if those little winks are real, I read them as mockery aimed at players, not hope.
But I've gotten used to looking at the numbers in this boycott. So here's what I want to tell you: Infold has every opportunity to schedule Valko's release for September, right after Zayne's birthday, and drop a multi-banner afterward — to rake in the maximum haul, patch the holes in their wallet, and at the same time show that they listen to their players. Will they do it? I don't know. Nobody does.
What I do know for certain: if they don't release him in September, this company doesn't deserve to be on the global market, and it doesn't deserve a single one of you, girls. Not just the Valkyries. Every main of every LI. All it deserves is CDG and the cow shit they're willing to hand them.
We gave them enough time to see the result of their choice — to see how they listened to a minority instead of their core paying audience, and how they went out of their way to satisfy the antis (they will never be satisfied). If in all this time the thought hasn't crossed their minds that maybe they should hear us out and bring Valko back, then they don't deserve us. It isn't the consumers' job to chase after a company begging it to take their money — it's the company's job to give us a product we actually want to buy. If they still haven't understood what we need, then they're real idiots, and the game is going to die slowly anyway.
@Love_Deepspace do you really think we'll wait for you forever? New Year? The anniversary? Patch 7.0? Sorry, buddy — we don't need your multi-banner with the slicked-back hair if it's 5 and not 6. If you're happy with your current numbers and the disgrace, you'll get exactly that by not releasing Valko in September😇

I am not asking anyone to abandon hope. I am asking us to distinguish hope from confirmed information. If any fact I shared is inaccurate, please correct it with evidence. If the facts are accurate but painful, attacking the messenger will not make the risk disappear. We can hope and prepare at the same time.
You do not have to trust me. These testimonies were written years before I entered this dispute. If any translation or factual claim is inaccurate, identify it and provide evidence. If your only response is to question my motives, then you are not refuting the record—you are diverting attention from the players Papergames failed.
If seven years of player testimony makes you investigate the messenger instead of the company, your priority is already obvious.
I hope so much that no one pro-Valko will interact with official cosplayers, until Valko is back. Not even for one small photo. Any interaction will be interpreted as a support of the current state of the game.
I wish for @Love_Deepspace to sell ZERO official merch.
God please! 🙏

Love and Deepspace dropped below 900k followers on Instagram today.
From over 1 million to less than 900k even with releasing new content... they should finally address the wolf in the room - maybe at gamescom? - 🐺🤍

@Cyberpsycho__ The official "tomb" cake Infold sent to Ling Xiao's main (talk about disrespect/cruel) how could they treat their players like this I don't understand🥲
