This excerpt is one of the most important points of this new China media article that was released, talking about Valko’s cancellation and how deeply it affects the global market.
“For Chinese content companies building global brands, overseas competition ultimately relies on the ability to CONTINUOUSLY produce high-quality content […] if risk management simultaneously shuts down content directions (aka Valko) with potential demand, companies may lose not only a character but also a group of EXISTING potential users.
[…]
The continued growth of overseas petitions provides a significant signal: when a character generates signatures, creative works, charitable activities, and offline actions in multiple countries and regions, re-examining and product validation of that character is not merely a response to public opinion, but may also represent a repricing of global user demand and existing content investment.”
Basically the article is saying that the global movement to bring Valko back into the game should be re-examined by Papergames to see if it’s financially worthwhile to reinstate his presence as a 6th love interest character in the game.
By not doing so, they potentially are losing out on a huge market of pre-existing fans who would have spent money on him as well as cutting off new players who were interested as the thing companies care most about is how to have existing customer retention and also foster new customer growth, which are arguably both achievable with the release of Valko.

POSITIVE NEWS PRO VALKO PACK!
Shanghai Administration has issued a comment on Weibo on their old Valko post CLEARING VALKO’S NAME OF VIOLATIONS! State media has also posted POSITIVE sentiments around all the donations and petitions Pro-Valko have been making!
This basically means Valko’s name is cleared of the offence’s that were placed against him, hence PG/Infold can bring him back without it being relating to any communal unrest within society due to the manipulative lies and misconstrued versions that were relaid of his content.

Today is a huge win for creatives around the world, as Australia makes it clear it will not bow to pressure from AI companies to legalise the theft of creatives’ work.
From the Australian Prime Minister:
"No company should use Australian books, music, art or news to build or train AI without the artist’s control.
That includes the artist’s control of the price and value of their work.
Anything less, is theft."
Strong, principled words that should serve as a model for governments everywhere.

I had a moment while talking with @bunbun_lisa about the Agent Info icons on ZZZ Drip Marketing art. I had always just copied and pasted them out of existing Drip Marketing, but duh-- The Wiki has the icons right there, and you can just throw a Gradient Overlay on them!
I know everyone is hoping for a statement / answer on the 17th but please keep in mind we might not get it!
And that is okay! Keep being logged out, don't spend and keep talking about it.
We may have to go on for at least a month and if that's the case we are halfway there!

SOME COMMISSIONS WORKED THIS MONTH!
Thanks to everyone once again, buyers and people that shared, you have no idea how much this helps me, and expect more later ! :D ✨️
This is such a complicated message to present and i'm so glad they could pull it off in the way they did. It's never really black and white, you can't just pose a question "do you forgive or not". the whole world is just a blend of contradictions at the end of the day
