Dear Editorial Team,

I hope this email finds you well. I am [Your Name] and a member of the #BringBackValko movement, and I’m reaching out regarding the Valko cancellation story you covered recently. We wanted to share an important update: our official petition to bring Valko back as a love interest has now surpassed 200,000 signatures. We have also reached over 1.5m posts on X advocating for his return. The movement continues to grow rapidly, with fans around the world organizing petitions, online protests, and peaceful actions to show how much this character means to the community. Despite the initial backlash that led to his cancellation, a large portion of the global and Chinese player base is actively fighting to see him reinstated. We believe this ongoing effort and the current petition numbers reflect the strength and dedication of the fanbase. We would greatly appreciate it if you could consider mentioning or updating your coverage with the latest petition numbers and the continued fan push for Valko’s return. This story is still very much alive in the community, and we’d love to see it highlighted again.

Thank you again for your previous coverage it really helped bring attention to the situation. Please let me know if you need any additional information, screenshots of the petition, or quotes from fans. Best regards,

Dear Editorial Team,

I hope you're doing well. I’m reaching out with a story that has gained significant traction in the Love and Deepspace community. In late June, developer Papergames (or Infold Games) announced Valko, a new love interest for the popular otome gacha game Love and Deepspace. Following intense backlash (particularly from Chinese players) based on malicious baseless rumours that wen't viral and got out of hand, the studio fully cancelled Valko’s development and stated they would not be adding any new love interests in the future. In response, global fans launched petitions calling for Valko’s reinstatement and to advocate for the years of hard work the developers have poured into the creation of this warm and lovable character. One of the main petitions has now surpassed 200,000 signatures and continues to grow. Over 1.5m posts on X have been calling for his return. Fans have also organized online protests and peaceful actions to show their support for the character. This situation has created a notable divide between regions and sparked ongoing discussion about player expectations, communication, and live-service game decisions. We believe this story, including the scale of the petition and the community’s continued efforts would be of interest to your readers. I’ve included the petition link below for reference. Would you be open to covering or mentioning this update? I’m happy to provide more details, quotes from supporters, or any additional information you might need. Thank you for your time.

A Letter to All Players

Dear Miss Hunters,

We sincerely apologize for reaching out once again. Over the past several days, our team has been closely following your conversations and feedback across all platforms. For the issues that have surfaced since the announcement of Version 6.0—and the frustration these have caused our community—we want to clearly state: we are sorry.

As we've expressed before, our vision for Love and Deepspace has always been to build a world that grows alongside you—one that offers a richer, deeper sense of companionship over time.

As various issues have arisen in recent days, we have moved quickly to make the necessary adjustments. After reflecting on recent events, we recognize that we moved forward with the introduction of Valko before we were truly ready. In doing so, we let down the players who have supported us from the start, and we also fell short of delivering the experience that players anticipating Valko deserved. After extensive internal discussions, we have decided to make the following changes:

1. We have decided to cancel both the launch and any further development of the new love interest. We also commit that no additional love interests will be introduced in future content plans.

2. All other in-game systems and features originally scheduled for Version 6.0—including Home 2.0 and AR Photobooth—as well as the limited-time Selectable 5-Star Memory Rate-Up Event, will proceed as planned. The outfits, photo poses and scenes, and the Nighthush Box (the second-anniversary 4-Star Memory Selection Crate) originally planned as rewards for the Hunt in Linkon event will instead be sent to all players for free via in-game mail after the version update.

3. Going forward, the entire team will focus on further developing the stories and long-term companionship experiences of our five existing love interests, while ensuring a stable pace of Main Story production and updates. Rafayel's new Solar-Slot Memories and Companion will be revealed in July. Farspace Colonel Caleb and Onychinus Leader Sylus will also return in their Main Story branches in September and November, respectively. By participating in the relevant events, players will be able to obtain the corresponding 5-Star Main Story Branch Memories for free. We will continue to devote all our care and effort to bringing you richer stories and game experiences.

4. Beginning today and continuing for 30 days, players who log in each day will receive one Deepspace Wish via in-game mail. Each mail will remain claimable for three days, for a total of 30 Deepspace Wishes. We hope this can offer some compensation for the disappointment and disruption caused by these adjustments.

To our community: once again, we apologize. Because of our actions, the joy you should have found in Linkon City became a source of distress, and the feelings you hold most dear were hurt. We are deeply sorry for the hurt and disappointment we have caused.

Love and Deepspace has always been about sharing love with you and protecting the love we all hold dear. That purpose has never wavered. Every step forward taken by the love interests and Linkon City—from its beginnings to where it stands today—has been shaped by your feedback, your passion, and your trust. It is your presence, care, and companionship that give this world its meaning, and us the strength and direction to move forward.

Over the past two and a half years, we've shared moments of joy and gratitude, as well as challenges and difficult times. Through every late night devoted to making this world better, it has been the moments you've shared in Linkon City—and the love and passion behind them—that have kept us going. We hope to continue walking this road with you, building a world where love can take root, grow, and bloom.

Going forward, we will work harder, listen more carefully, and do our utmost to honor the trust you have placed in us. We will stay focused on delivering the experience you deserve—one filled with love where every moment in Linkon City can once again become a joyful and treasured memory.

Linkon City will always be here for you.

Thank you—for your trust, your honest feedback and encouragement, and for being with us every step of the way. Your companionship has helped light the path ahead, and your faith in us has given meaning to every effort we make. Thank you for your love throughout this journey. It gives us the courage to keep moving forward. We hope to repay that love with even more and even better content in the days to come.
