In the survey there was this last part to fill up:
“Thank you for completing the survey! If there are any aspects of the current version of Love and Deepspace that you are satisfied or dissatisfied with, or any suggestions you would like to share with us, please feel free to leave them here”
And here was my answer:
My biggest dissatisfaction with the current version of Love and Deepspace is the continued cancellation and exclusion of Valko, the officially announced sixth Love Interest.
Valko’s announcement generated genuine excitement and anticipation among players who were looking forward to experiencing his story, personality, Memories, and interactions with the MC. His introduction represented an important expansion of the game, yet that excitement was abruptly taken away.
I strongly urge Infold to reconsider its decision and reinstate Valko as the sixth Love Interest, as originally announced.
It is incredibly disappointing that months have passed without meaningful communication, transparency, or a clear resolution regarding his future. Valko’s supporters have continued expressing their interest, dedication, and willingness to support his release, yet our concerns remain unaddressed.
Furthermore, Valko’s introduction was announced alongside plans for additional story content and updates involving the existing Love Interests. His cancellation raises concerns about potential changes to the originally planned narrative, delays, and the overall direction of the game.
I believe Love and Deepspace should continue expanding its world, developing its characters, and embracing creative freedom rather than allowing hostility and harassment from certain parts of the community to dictate its direction.
Players should be free to enjoy their preferred Love Interests without demanding the removal of characters others love. Adding Valko does not diminish the importance of the existing Love Interests or their fans. There is room for everyone.
I am also dissatisfied with the increasingly aggressive monetization, insufficient F2P rewards, limited accessibility for Global players, and lack of consistent communication regarding important concerns.
I genuinely love Love and Deepspace. I want to see it grow, succeed, and continue for many years. However, my trust in Infold has been seriously affected by how Valko’s announcement and subsequent cancellation were handled.
My expectations are clear: Bring Valko back, restore his planned content, include him in future banners, events, Memories, and main story updates, and communicate transparently with the players who have been waiting for him.
I am not asking for the removal or reduction of content for any existing Love Interest. I am asking for the opportunity to enjoy the character who was officially promised to us.
Until Valko is reinstated and meaningful action is taken, I will continue participating in the No Valko, No Money boycott. My decision to withhold financial support comes from wanting the game to improve, not from wanting it to fail.
Please listen to Valko’s supporters. We are part of your playerbase, too. We deserve to be heard, respected, and included.

Let me just say this, as someone who's worked with CN stakeholders.
There's no such thing as hopium. We call it hopium, but in reality, it can be a way of stringing people along just long enough for them to become emotionally invested. It's a manipulation tactic. (I see until sian 🙄)
Why do you think some people fall off the rails and eventually go back to the game or start spending again? Bcs when your hopes keep getting crushed, you get exhausted. Eventually, you relent.
Hopium is all fun and games if you know how to regulate your emotions, but that's not always the case. You win some, you lose some, right? Some will quit entirely, while others will eventually give in. And I believe the company is banking on those who relent.
I don't blame the people who fall off the rails. Boycotting is HARD. I blame the company's decision for putting us through this stupid shit in the first place.
Now, go back to the June 30th statement. (Sorry, ik it hurts.) I'm not gonna type the whole thing out here, but you know what I mean. Cancelled development, no additional LIs, etc.
Let me tell you one thing about CN stakeholders, ya? Mian Zi (面子) is very much a thing.
Why do you think they went ten toes down with the ANTNE multi and its paywalled items, only to go another ten toes down with this RD multi?
My interpretation? They're trying to justify their decision to keep Valko cancelled bcs reversing that statement would mean swallowing their pride and admitting they were wrong.
Cut off the arm to save the body is VERY real, let me tell you that. And some stakeholders can be incredibly cutthroat about it. It's nothing personal, just business. And I'm not saying it's a good decision.
I strongly believe the whole "从头开始" in ANTNE wasn't just a fking pun. And no, I'm not talking about Valko's exposed forehead hairstyle either. This had the CN Valkyries reaching for their pitchforks bcs of what it implied. 💀
In Chinese, it meant starting afresh. I believe they had every intention of moving forward with only 5 LIs. But bcs our boycott has been putting pressure on their revenue, they went another ten toes down with the RD multi and its paywalled items just to be sure.
They tried to tempt us, but from where I'm standing, it hasn't worked. And don't be surprised if they try something else to lure us back. I don't even wanna say it. NP— OKAY, NO. 💀 But I hope you get my point.
And about the survey asking whether we'd attend their events? You think that means they're desperate? I don't think so.
I believe they're trying to gauge potential attendance bcs organizing an event only to have a poor turnout would be a massive loss of face (especially in motherland). And when 面子 matters, they'd rather reconsider or cancel an event than risk that kind of embarrassment.
That's how I interpret their actions, anyway. You don't have to agree with me. But please, don't let every little thing they do become another reason to feed yourself hopium, only to suffer a massive crash-out when the outcome isn't what you hoped for. They know what we want. But are they giving?
Protect your emotions. Protect your wallet. And remember why we started this boycott in the first place.
No Valko, No Money.

11/10 Don't give up your voice! Please remember to log in and fill out the survey to ask for Valko's release! 🐺📝
Some people claim that logging in to do the survey "gives Infold free DAU (Daily Active Users)" and does nothing. Here is how game analytics actually work:
1. Silence equals zero demand: If you don't log in and don't fill out the survey, the backend doesn't read your absence as "protesting for Valko"—it just registers you as natural player churn. If Valko's keyword frequency drops in surveys, the studio will simply conclude that the hype for him has died down.
2. Targeted logins send the loudest message: Studios track revenue and session time, not just raw logins. Logging in for 3 minutes solely to submit a survey demanding Valko, without spending money or pulling on current banners, creates a very specific data pattern: "Active players are holding back their wallets specifically waiting for Valko."
Boycotting the survey only erases Valko's presence from official data. Don't let others trick you into silencing yourself!

@M1H19A I’ve seen cn posts saying that it was, unfortunately, Zayne... for Valko, his name has been changed and he’s become an NPC, sadly, leaks rarely lie :/
@Love_Deepspace You’ve broken the hearts of thousands of players and lost more than 68% of your revenue but I suppose that’s still not enough... With a smaller budget, the quality of LADS will decline, and people will become increasingly dissatisfied and go elsewhere.
@Love_Deepspace Is it just so you can figure out how to squeeze more cash out of us, while claiming the game is in a good state when it’s actually been left to rot?
Tempted to pull ⁉️ watch them on youtube instead ❣️

I’m boycotting because I LOVE LaDS and want to see it thrive for years to come.
If your goal is to ruin the game rather than push for positive changes, then you’re not boycotting to improve it. You’re running a smear campaign.
Boycott ≠ Smear campaign

"Valko mains this Valko mains that"
Lemme inform you... There are no Valko mains yet. Sure plenty of people wanna main him but he's not in the game. We don't know him.
I am a Rafayel main who's pro-Valko. Not a "Valko" main.
All boycotters are mains of the other 5.

📝TAKE THE IN-GAME SURVEY📝
I am going to do one last tweet compiling all my thoughts and reasoning here, as to why we SHOULD take the survey IN-GAME. After that, whatever happens happens, cause 90% of you won't even read this and the other 50% will just be illogically angry at me for it anyway. 😂
I saw a suggestion on the TL that asked if whoever is still logged in could just post screenshots of the survey for people to answer outside of the game and then email into the company and/or post onto Twitter.
While I appreciate the idea, it will unfortunately not have the same impact.
HERE'S WHY:
✍️ The survey proves you're a REAL PLAYER. It's tied to your account, and the company has data on ALL the metrics tied to your account: Your spending, playtime, what features you interact with and how long, account age, etc.
Twitter replies and emails can come from literally anyone. Non-players, alt-accounts spamming the inbox/notifications, bots, etc, so that just ends up in the same "noise" bucket as everything else we have been doing online to-date.
That's not to say what we're doing online is NOT important and effective, but it's not at all THE SAME points of data.
✍️ Surveys go DIRECTLY to Infold and gets processed all together. With this many people submitting at once, no, people are likely not reading EVERY. SINGLE. INDIVIDUAL ONE by hand, however, companies like this use software that takes the inputted surveys and then sorts the data, summarizes high-demand/high-complaint repeated points, and puts them into reports.
If the person reviewing a report sees something of interest, they may end up looking more closely at individual surveys to get more details/context/etc and those surveys are, again, tied to REAL PLAYER ACCOUNTS with REAL TANGIBLE DATA that they have available to them.
Ask me how I know. Is it because I've had to conduct and review surveys like this for my job? Yes.
✍️ If WE don't log in to take the survey, then the only survey results that Infold WILL get will come from people who, at best, probably don't care about Valko, or at worst, actively hate him. In their surveys they'll talk about how happy they are with the state of the game, or the fact that he's gone and should STAY gone, and the data (ATTACHED TO REAL PLAYER ACCOUNTS) will be compiled and paint a picture that says, "our real players in game are happy," which is a MUCH WORSE data point to give them than a single day of DAU spike from your account.
✍️ One day of logging in won't wreck the boycott. DAU is tracked over weeks and months. A one-day bump on survey day is expected, and doesn't erase a long, consistently maintained, drop.
Money is the real pressure point. Log in, do the survey, spend $0, log out. The revenue drop is what hurts them most, and that doesn't change just because you logged in to take a survey.
Not to mention, again, if you spend 0 time engaging with anything else in game, claiming nothing, etc. that will show in their data. "They logged in and did nothing but the survey."
✍️ And again to reiterate: The survey is not some sleezy attempt to get us to log-in to bolster DAU. They drop a survey with LITERALLY. EVERY. SINGLE. MULTI. This is not new behavior. And the survey is ALWAYS in-game, there has never been an out-of-game survey we could take. (If there has been the TL fucking lied to me every time I asked for a link to one, because I hate typing shit out on my phone).
✍️ Not everyone is a VIP. Why be satisfied with, 'well the VIPs are talking to CS everyday, so it doesn't matter', when the rest of us now have an opportunity to speak DIRECTLY to Infold with OUR OWN voices and show up EN MASSE with data they CAN'T ignore, unlike ratioing a Twitter post that anyone can do and anyone can bot.
IN CONCLUSION:
If you want Valko back, fill out the fucking survey and tell them that to their faces. Then you can return to fighting with each other over whatever dumb fucking shit you were fighting about before, or jumping into my SP to tell me how horrible of a person I am or how I'm single-handedly ruining the boycott or whateverthefuck.
