Can you even imagine, the sheer level of collaboration happening behind the scenes. 6 of the biggest fashion houses in the world, coordinating between each other to prepare 7 custom outfits matching one another on the same stage

Not to mention, 2 of these brands prepared outfits for members they have no contract with... BTS are the only idols who have houses like Dior, Gucci, Balenciaga, make customs for them without ambassadorship

As a business owner myself in the anime and video game industry and someone who has worked with multiple companies in said industry, moreso than revenue itself, customer retention and new customer acquisition are arguably the most important numbers that indiciate sustainability and growth of an IP or company.

It is extremely concerning to see that the amount of downloads for Love and Deepspace has gone from 50,000 or so at the time of Valko's announcement to under 20,000, even as low as 5,000 downloads a day. following his cancellation. Keep in mind these numbers are from the CN side, not even including global's numbers, which for some countries, the app isn't even in Top 100 or 200 or even ranking anymore.

Looking at the CN download data alone, that is almost a 90% decline in new downloads percentage, which is a huge warning regarding the game's player base and the game's sustainability.

In order for a live service gacha game to sustain and continue growth, they MUST find new ways to innovate and gain new players. This would have been possible with Valko as he is a new character that could attract customers who were previously not interested in the game to then compel them to download and try it out. It is especially important to note that releasing a new in-game character would be easy to garner audience adjacent players, aka, female players.

However, following the statement of no more new characters ever, it is going to be very difficult for the game to attract new customers with the remaining five characters. Why you ask? Well, if the current characters had not attracted new customers previously, what would they need to do to then attract more players?

I think that if Love and Deepspace chooses to not release Valko, the only way they can attract new customers is by doing collaborations with other IPs, such as Genshin Impact, Final Fantasy, Overwatch, Fortnite, etc.

However, the player base is extremely different and not always female oriented, hence why I mentioned the importance of audience adjacent female players above, so even doing collaborations will be a significant challenge for this game, especially with the current audience reception regarding the game's communication and reputation.

If they don't do new collaborations with other IPs, then they will have to push more for content creator marketing with large Vtubers or streamers, but that alone would not be enough to raise the game back to its previous numbers in the long run.

Another alternative will be to do more risque content, but seeing as China has strong censorship rules following their stick figure marketing campaigns for "Lingering Lust," even that will be difficult to push out more of that similar content. Also, they would want to avoid over saturating those types of risque content because it would feel stale after the same type of content is redone over and over.

Offering more in-game content, aside from a new character, could also possibly attract customers. However, they would have to really think about data optimization in this case because the game is simply far too large on phones. I personally think that having a console or PC version would be the easiest next step to get more customers to sign up.

If Papergames is comfortable with the current player base number and does not want to grow further, then continuing as is would be fine without Valko. But I doubt that is what they hope to achieve.

I hope they can figure out the current situation they're in and take the risk, re-release Valko, and see how much that will change in terms of revenue and new player acquisition. However, the decision ultimately lies with them.

Seeing one of gods most majestic and divine creatures, fight so valiantly against the destruction and rampaging of his home should do untold psychic damage to your psyche. We should be radicalized by this.

I said this about AI well over a year ago. Using it to diagnose and fire people with medical conditions so they lose their insurance AND their income is somehow even more heartless and evil than I’d predicted.

I was an extremely guilty child, constantly wracked with shame. I'm happy to report that this trait has not translated to my daughter, who just fumbled a large watermelon, watched it explode on the ground, and declared "oh well, it was heavy."

It’s really surprising that people are shocked that Gen Z don't enjoy work. Back in the day, work was to let you buy a home, travel and set up a few nice things for yourself. Would you feel the same way about work if it lead to none of the above ??

[Seraphina ✨🐦‍⬛🐠🐺 BRING BACK VALKO @Babybeet222]

To the Love and Deepspace Development Team,

As a long term player who has spent thousands of dollars on this game, I am so truly disappointed by your actions as a company. The cancellation of Valko was devastating, and I have been doing my part to combat this decision on the kindest, most respectful and loving way for the past 9 days.

His remove severely degrades the story, and so many, hundreds of thousands if not millions, of players know that.

Your silence as a company is also heavily disappointing. Global players make up half, if not more, of your revenue. We deserve to be heard. I hope that you’ve been able to see over the past week what we have done for the fandom as a whole. We have signed petitions, paid for billboards, named stars, adopted wolves, donated to flood victims and wildlife conservations in Valko’s name. And so much more. We have fought this decision with love, not the hate that had him removed.

And the decision to rerun Wander and Wonder, a banner that means so much to so many people, during this controversy, is devastating. I have personally been waiting for this to return for nearly two years, but the fact that it’s coming now…it’s disappointing.

I have paid for, and supported this game since the day I started playing. But now, after everything, that support has stopped. The core values I lived by while supporting this game have died.

I am not the only person that feels this way. I can confidently say that almost everyone on your international servers feels the same way.

You are destroying your company with your silence. You are destroying your image by letting hate win. I understand, fully, that hate and violence is scary and powerful. That there are real people on your side being affected by it. But I cannot stand by a company that lets hate rule over love.

My deepest condolences go to the people that created Valko. The people that created ALL the love interests that we love. But the public actions of this company as a whole, canceling a character that so many people have been advocating for, deleting core lore form the story, letting hatful actions dictate your next moves…it’s heartbreaking to say the least.

This is my plea, as a player and customer who has given thousands of dollars to this company, to reconsider your choices.
Bring Valko back.
Rerun God of Annihilation again for Zayne mains who couldn’t participate because of the boycott.
Do not rerun Wander and Wonder right now.
Fox your mistakes.
Acknowledge your wrongdoings.
Make the game more friendly to f2p players.
Commit to making free content (main story update) more frequent.
Before transparent and communicative with your audience.

If there’s things are not addressed immediately, I will no longer support or play this game.
