the logic of "just accept their decision" falls COMPLETELY on its ass when the whole reason we are in this situation is bc antis COULDNT ACCEPT their ORIGINAL decision.
valkos release was the original decision, the original promise. that is what we are owed #BRINGVALKOBACK
The way this movie stayed on repeat for me!!! I wanted Brittany's outfit SAAUUURRRRR BADDDD (Still do) this is why my silk presses still get worn half up half down with a bang 💀
I’m so happy my timeline is filled with other people under the age of 50 that give a fuck about Alvin and the Chipmunks. Idc if I was born in 2003 they were HUGE part of my childhood so we’re locked in forever 🤞🏾
Making a late post for my favorite person for international Non-binary day 💕 @FoxyInDeepspace I love you more than anything and I'll celebrate you every day
rafayel would also hate tf outta infold for scraping a piece of art that took ppl 2 years of hard work and dedication. he would be all for a boycott against money hungry individuals
So it seems Valko returning depends A LOT on whether his removal affects revenue or not.
If there was ever a time to guard your wallets, please, it is now. For Rafy’s 4th Myth, if Raf Mains can delay their spending by at least a week please do so 🥹 as long as the revenue graph doesn’t spike, we have a really good chance of allowing the creative team to argue for Valko’s return!
As it is, Valko is Rafayel’s pair. Just like Sylus and Xavier or Zayne and Caleb🙏🏼

Someone please explain the neurodivergent experience of feeling like I was mentally older than my peers as a child and now feel mentally younger now as an adult….
I see a lot of people on LADs twt talking about the Infinity Nikki "girlcott" of 1.5 & I just wanted to add context from an actual player who was there at the time.
List of problems that we had with the state of the game:
1. Bugs, crashes, unable to log in, lag, ongoing performance issues.
2. Implementation of excessive flashing lights but no warning for those with epilepsy.
3. Poor rewards for free-to-play players.
4. Our boycott was being blacklisted by Infold (allegedly), thus, that's where the term "girlcott" came from.
5. "Ballgown-gate" - complaints of similarity between paid banner outfits.
6. Arguably the worst one, and still a bone of contention to this day, the retcon of 1.0s story, due to the implementation of the co-op feature in 1.5.
7. Communication with the community.
8. Quality and/or quantity of in-game events.
9. They're likely some micro ones, that I personally cannot remember, but these were the most important ones at the time.
The "girlcott" - players stop logging in, mainly because, let's be honest, they couldn't.
Players stop spending, complaints were sent (politely) into Infold both by email and social media. The girlcott was a CN & global one.
The girlcott also lasted about 3-4 weeks.
I think whilst everyone is bringing up the IN 1.5 issues that we had with the game, it's very important to remember what Infold have since done to rectify those problems, as I do not see a lot of people talking about this within the conversation.
1. All of these problems were fixed, the current patch was extended by a short amount of time to deal with the immediate issues, and ongoing fixes to the performance of the game have been completed in the year since 1.5. Players were compensated & given regular updates.
2. An epilepsy warning, whilst brief, has been added to the beginning of the game upon load up.
3. In my personal opinion, the rewards for free-to-play payers have improved to a reasonable level. This opinion is obviously going to vary player to player. We also received plenty of free outfits, but depending on the size of the patch, between 2-8+.
4. We were eventually listened to, apologised to, and given promises for the game to be fixed. It has been. And promised that this wouldn't happen again. It hasn't.
5. Now that the game is a year and a half old, there is a much higher variety of 5* paid banners.
6. Whilst we have not currently seen a resolution to this, and many players are still unhappy that the beginning of 1.0s story no longer exists within the game, the story team has done an excellent job over the past year of developing the story into something that we all enjoy & love, even if the original story is not there.
The main crux of the problem seems to be with the release of the "threads of reunion outfit" shown at the start of the game - we have been promised that this will come at some point in the games development.
7. We now receive regular communication about updates, the state of the game, progress, what's coming next, and live streams for big patches a few days in advance. We're not happy that we're still getting previews for new banners 2-4 days before launch, but we highly doubt this will ever change as they do this across all their games.
8. Events have improved, it's still spotty within some patches, but for the most part we're happy with the events that we are getting.
I understand the very valid criticism of Infold right now, I think it's important to remember that with the IN boycott in 1.5, most of our issues, problems and concerns have been resolved. As a player myself, I really hope the same for LADs.

To future game companies,
Don’t ever market globally again if you plan to treat your global fanbase like trash. + don’t green-light your game if your political laws will limit its creative freedom.
You’ll save a lot of disappointment and heartbreak.
