@carv47628631@iibqki@iKaito_1 Imagine, it's an investment that was JUST promising to increase shareholder value after this new LI they're adding too...
@ValkosKnot Too many ppl r blaming each other rather than the company frankly, and it's not helping any one.
It's a corporation at the end of the day, you shouldn't baby a company that's fucked us repeatedly even before Valko
@Almaz146362@DeaconJohn0 Not to mention Lads had already been getting flack for lack of content before this, we had an 8 month gap in MS, over a year since the last combat update, and they don't reuse any events/mini games for rerun banners.
It's unsurprising it got this bad rlly
@Xaivhi Firing their PR staff would be a good decision given everything, so no, Infold prob didn't.
They don't make good choices at any given time in their history
@BlueEyedxBlonde@iS2uNikki I disagree, CN players have been vocally upset with IN since KOD and their customer service was appalling before this. IN was on the edge of a boycott regardless in CN, but a milder one.
Releasing Valko so suddenly amplified preexisting tensions in the CN community.
@LoserS38716@OctorokR Mandarin in particular, is a language made of only a few actual sounds BUT tons of different ways to enuciate those same sounds/tones to make diff words. I know bc I barely passed two years of it in hs while being tone deaf as hell
@balsamcandle I feel like the fandom has a lot of idol/kpop/jpop fans, or at least that's the mindset.
Frankly tho, I blame the company more than anything for that, Inflop uses a lot of strategies the idol industry does to stir up drama in fandoms for the sake of raising online engagement
@NANAMITHEWORLD It's more so a matter of position I'd say, like I'm an intern who got hired for a corp job (for little pay increase sadly) and I've been put in charge of several high, HIGH stress responsibilities cause no one else wanted em. M/w I have coworkers who do jack all day for more $
@calebskyblue@N109kiki No, they're still in court for KOD's false advertising case - which has been accepted to court but a verdict has yet to be reached. Let alone the court cases against them for Infinity Nikki's false advertising in the recent past
@Lunarethma@Dust_of_Snow_ I agree with your latter points, but I'd argue against Infold's willingness to expand resources.
We just got out of an 8-month gap in MS content & there has been multiple quality issues (black skin, KOD, House glitches, etc). They're cheapskates unwilling to expand to make more $
@neuvihwa I think it can be explained by how Raf's MC doesn't play into it despite the undertones. She freed him in AW, escaped with him in Gem Affection, etc. It's never played straight.
Closest they came to that was with he Sanctarch card but the MC lost that battle anyways
@matic_adri20525@retiredforcolin Tbf this is Infolds third major controversy and boycott across the three major games they have, they're literally on strike three. Cutting out a good chunk of their management may actually be beneficial to the company as a whole
@swallowedbymoss LADS is actually really safe in this issue bc they're under a much higher maturity rating in China and most countries, they explicitly aren't catered to younger audiences.
NA is an exception with a Teen rating, but I blame shitty US age ratings more than Infold for that one
@applejasmines No, this is genuinely the only sane take, everyone else is losing their shit is all.
Infold cannot afford to delete him, they just botched his release to a historic degree starting two boycotts demanding opp things. Their only same options is to wait it out like Shawn
@bigdearsnowman That would require good decision making, and frankly no one on their team appears capable of it since they botched Valkos launch.
Let alone the company's history of causing boycotts even b4 this fiasco
