Dear Infold,

I refuse your cancellation.

Signed,
A former player who might return if you bring back the wolf.

I’ve been giving PPG the benefit of the doubt, but honestly, I can’t be bothered trying to guess what they’re thinking anymore.

I used to do social media PR for a very, very large US entertainment company. When I tell you that the CEO and higher ups I had meetings with were actual fucking morons that couldn’t even pronounce their product names & never once watched any of the content they put out, I’M NOT KIDDING. EVEN A LITTLE.

Don’t stress yourselves out over “what do we do next.”
Money is the only thing they understand. And #NoValkoNoMoney

WORLD’S FIRST 7-DAY FANDOM RUN AT ONE TIMES SQUARE

BACK TO NEW YORK.
BACK TO TIMES SQUARE.

Back to June 22.
The day Valko first stepped into the world.
The week his name once shone in Times Square.

Three months have passed.
And we still do not know when he will return.

Last time, Infold brought him here.
This time, we will.

We demand that Infold face the real voices of players around the world:

Restore Valko’s official status as a male lead,
and implement him in the game as soon as possible.

We believe that these voices from across the world
will be seen together with this screen.
@Love_Deepspace

Seven consecutive days in Times Square.
His name, back where it once began.

WE’RE STILL HERE.
WE’RE STILL WAITING.
BRING VALKO BACK.

Pancakes,
I want us all to be clear and ready. This multi was rumored to be Valko's first multi since July. Wax dripping was supposed to be in his card. He is cut out. Hoping is good sometimes but right now we need to be ready and angry. They will release PV for it tomorrow, it will probably be good (every multi after new LI is added are amazing) but what is good in it for us if they keep disrespecting us? When pv is out tomorrow, we ratio the hell out of it. Be angry, it's okay, they used up their limit for our kindness. We are good people, not stupid once. Let's not let them walk over us. It is enough.

‼️𝗣𝗔𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗚𝗔𝗠𝗘𝗦 𝗟𝗘𝗚𝗔𝗟 𝗛𝗔𝗦 𝗣𝗨𝗕𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗛𝗘𝗗 𝗔 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗢𝗡 𝗜𝗧𝗦 𝗟𝗘𝗚𝗔𝗟 𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦‼️

Papergames Legal published a new article today, 17/09, detailing the progress they have made in taking action against multiple forms of infringement involving both the company and its players.

The article reiterates that Papergames has a “zero-tolerance” stance toward malicious insults and rumours, unfair competition, black and grey market activity, copyright and trademark infringement, game leaks, and other behaviour that infringes on the legitimate rights of the company or its players (sounding familiar LADies? I wonder what the ‘rights defence brigade’ on here that has been inciting people to do unnecessary things has to say to this 🤭)

One of the most important parts of the article is that Papergames confirms that MULTIPLE RELEVANT CASES are ALREADY IN JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS, and says its legal account will continue following those cases and disclose the results of its rights-protection actions when appropriate. So these are not just threats of possible action. Legal proceedings are already underway.

For everyone who has been wondering why PPG has been so quiet publicly while all of this has been happening, this could very well be part of the reason 🧑🏻‍⚖️ it’s highly likely their legal team was like “Don’t say anything, don’t address anything, just post about the game”.

They also give an example involving Love and Deepspace itself. In a recently concluded case, defendants illegally obtained large amounts of citizens’ personal information, mass-registered LADS accounts and used them to obtain unlawful profits (This could be referencing when we saw multiple platforms that were selling LADS accounts either close down or remove all LADS items from their stores/services).

Several defendants were convicted, with prison sentences ranging from 1 year and 3 months to 4 years and 5 months.

But I think the second half of this article is especially relevant to what we have been seeing online over the past few months:

Papergames DIRECTLY addresses online abuse, malicious insults, fabricated rumours, defamation, doxxing and the exposure of private personal information, and encourages players to use legal and platform reporting channels when they encounter this behaviour.

They then provide actual instructions for reporting abuse through Weibo and Xiaohongshu, China’s national 12377 reporting system, and, where necessary, through the courts or police.

LADies/Lillies, this part is SO important. A lot of the behaviour we have seen surrounding the current online movement has gone FAR BEYOND normal disagreement over a game.

People have been insulted, mocked, targeted, had rumours spread about them, and in some cases have been subjected to behaviour that is clearly intended to intimidate people into shutting up or leaving the conversation entirely.

Disagreeing with someone, disliking a boycott, disliking a fandom movement, or supporting a different character is one thing. But harassment, defamation, doxxing and coordinated bullying are another.

PPG is now VERY explicitly telling its playerbase that these behaviours are NOT something players are simply expected to tolerate! they are actively encouraging people to PRESERVE EVIDENCE (❗️ring any bells????) and use the available reporting and legal channels.

Considering how ugly parts of the LADS community have become recently (I’m not naming names, because I refuse to give such disgusting actions and behaviour a platform), I think this is an important article for people to actually read.

𝙏𝙇;𝘿𝙍:
➤ Papergames Legal’s first public update did not remain confined to its own WeChat account.
➤ It was picked up by several established Chinese news, business and financial-media platforms on 17/09.
➤ Several of these outlets operate within state-backed or state-affiliated media groups.
➤ Coverage has focused particularly on Papergames’ legal enforcement record and the criminal case involving illegal Love and Deepspace account operations.
➤ This does NOT prove government direction or intervention, but given the wider context surrounding Papergames this summer, I think the pattern is worth watching.

Following Papergames Legal’s publication of “叠纸游戏打击多种侵权行为取得阶段性进展” (Papergames Games Makes Phased Progress in Combating Multiple Forms of Infringement) on 17/09, the announcement was rapidly carried outside of Papergames’ own channels and into broader Chinese news and financial media.

𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀 / 新浪新闻

Sina News, one of China’s major commercial online news platforms (private organisation), published the story under the topics # 叠纸游戏维权进展 (Papergames Games’ Progress in Protecting Its Rights) and # 恋与深空账号非法租售案多人获刑 (Multiple People Sentenced in Illegal Love and Deepspace Account Rental and Sales Case).

Its coverage particularly highlighted the Love and Deepspace criminal case in which defendants illegally obtained large quantities of citizens’ personal information, mass-registered game accounts and used plug-ins to operate those accounts for profit.

The defendants received prison sentences ranging from 1 year and 3 months to 4 years and 5 months.

𝗝𝗶𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀 / 界面新闻

Jiemian, an established Chinese business and financial-news outlet, also published a news brief covering Papergames Legal’s announcement.

Jiemian is produced by Shanghai United Media Group, a state-backed media group in Shanghai. This makes its institutional position different from a privately operated entertainment or gaming publication.

Article:
https://t.co/HEAqBRp9kt

Jiemian’s report was subsequently syndicated by Eastmoney / 东方财富, one of China’s major financial-information platforms. Importantly, Eastmoney explicitly identifies Jiemian News as the source, so this should be understood as wider distribution of Jiemian’s reporting rather than another independently authored article.

Eastmoney republication:
https://t.co/CNle69XVzT

𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 / 每日经济新闻

National Business Daily, a major Chinese financial and business-news organisation, also carried the announcement through its “每经AI快讯” (National Business Daily AI News Brief) service.

National Business Daily operates under Chengdu Media Group, which sits within Chengdu’s state-backed municipal media structure.

❗️Important note: this particular piece is EXPLICITLY labelled as an AI NEWS BRIEF. It therefore represents AMPLIFICATION by an established mainstream financial-media platform, but should NOT be interpreted as independent investigative or editorial reporting.

𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗼 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 / 半岛都市报

Bandao published a longer report covering the creation of Papergames’ legal account and its first enforcement update.

However, Bandao explicitly attributes the material to Xiaoxiang Morning Herald / 潇湘晨报 and names its own editorial and review staff. Xiaoxiang itself operates within Hunan’s provincial state-media structure.

This therefore represents another example of the story spreading through the broader state-affiliated CN media ecosystem, rather than a completely separate piece of original reporting.
