Lol 😹errmmm... how are these people saying they're boycotting when they log into the game daily, pull on banners, buy Promise,spend money and play house with their LI, yet somehow they are the ones boycotting?
And what are they even boycotting for when Valko isn't in the game?
LaDS went from an estimated $38.3M in June to $10.3M in July a 73% drop and fell all the way to #16
Keep ignoring your players and acting like their trust and money are somewhat guaranteed, I guess?
You can literally fix all of this breaking the silence and giving Valko back

Looking at this chart, Valko’s launch in July 2026 would’ve been perfect timing to push the game and its revenue by attracting new players – regardless of all the missing content. Sooner or later, to bring back that peak you always see in July (or make it even bigger!), they would’ve had to introduce a new LI anyway or at least drop some huge update (which they didn’t have lol, so Valko would’ve come in very handy, he was literally the update together with the kitchen).
Given that the playerbase has grown over time and Love and Deepspace has become more popular, his debut would likely have been the biggest of all. And this has nothing to do with his looks or popularity per se, but simply with the size of the playerbase at that point.
This ties into the popularity arcs of 🐦⬛ and 🍎: the debut numbers of 🐦⬛were lower than of 🍎 because the game was still less known back then. Plus 🍎 also had an already existing fanbase, as people have been patiently waiting for him to finally become a LI.
Valko, launching later into a bigger, more established playerbase, would therefore PROBABLY have outperformed both. BUT if his numbers had still been lower than both of theirs, that would’ve been a major red flag 🚩for investors, especially if people actively boycotted his cards. Maybe that was part of their fear: even if it’s a loud minority shouting, some players were also unsure about Valko and a weak debut could have looked like rejection.
Now, many have made up their minds. Still not all, but we’ve had more time to process and to fall for him, even though we barely know any of his lore yet. What we have now is already a pretty well-established fanbase for Valko that’s ready to spend. That gives Papergames a better guarantee that, if he ever debuts, there will be a lot of money flowing into Valko-related content.
Maybe, in a strange way, they actually saved him by not fully introducing him just yet. Investors always look at numbers, not gossip, because numbers speak for themselves and can be used to back up or undermine any narrative about Valko, whether it’s positive or negative.
Those are my thoughts on this…

Lemme lower the rent around here a little bit, cause I'm still not convinced everyone following me realizes that they don't actually want to follow me:
I do not give a shit about this post in particular.
If that bothers you, please find the nearest exit.
Thank you and have a great weekend. 😂
Valko defenders : *doing all the good stuff* and post hastags #bringbackvalko
AntiValko : "I DON'T WANT THIS RABIES MUTT TO BE BACK IN THE GAME! THEIR FANS RUINED IT ALL, MUTT MUTT, RECYCLED SLOP♻️, I WILL MAKE SURE INFLOP NEVER BRING THAT DOG BACK 🤬😡😡 MAJORITY OF US DON'T WANT VELCRO"
???
Consider this your patriotic duty to the wolf “cult” (as the antis would say) and go hype up that wolf on Weibo if you got an account.
😆
#ValkoIsComing#BringValkoBack
these fuckass antis are the most disgusting people i’ve ever seen. you are all so cruel, literally devil’s reincarnation. may u all never find peace for what you did to the game and to irl people affected by it.
#ValkoisLoved#ValkoisInnocent#ValkoIsValuabe#BringValkoBack
why am i hearing valko antis taking credit for the revenue drop? valko is cancelled, there's literally nothing for yall antis to heavily boycott bcs you already got what you wanted.
best myth GoA & most anticipated multibanner WiW supposed to be a successful rerun if there's no boycott going on. antis should be able to see the stat, LSG & KoD rerun was so successful & GoA didn't even made half their revenue.
math isn't mathing there.
Remember when they said we were just beggars who'd never spend money, and that Infold releasing the game globally was basically charity? That's looking pretty funny now 💀
My hill I’ll die on with infold and this whole silence situation is, the silence and how they’re moving could be valid means to get Valko back but they have not earned the trust and good will of the players to be able to do that AND keep the servers open.
If they can’t tell us outright what they’re doing? Fine. Move how you need to move. Get your legal shit together. But then, don’t try to have your cake and eat it to by pushing out rerun banners, keeping the servers open and try to squeeze out money from boycotters.
Close the servers for maintenance. They could have had a neutral PR statement that gave no fuel for antis but a clear indication that things are happening behind closed doors. It would have made sense for both antis and pro-Valko fans for infold to take a break. Antis wouldn’t be able to twist it because it could be explained away as yeah well you just deleted 1/6th of your cast you need time to adjust the schedule. Meanwhile they could have bought time to pursue legal action. But no. They haven’t learned shit in that regard.
So yeah I think the silence right now is necessary to get Valko back. But it did not have to have the added insult of just not acknowledging the fallout at all.
(The ONLY exception to this I can think of is the theory that they may be using the damages for a legal defamation case. Which isn’t impossible but to me is way more speculative for me to personally go with)
There’s not liking Valko,, then there’s being a CDG 😒
You CAN not like Valko. That’s totally fine. He’s not everyone’s cup of tea. That’s why 6 LIs exist, thankfully most people understand that.
But og5/cdg’s have caused actual harm, siding with them is not it
#BringValkoBack
LMFAO AT THIS POINT I DONT GIVE A SINGLE FUCK RELEASE BOTH OF THEM FUCK IT DO THAT INFOLD DO IT RIGHT NOW LET BOTH SIDES HAVE IT @Love_Deepspace@InfoldGames_ BRING BOTH OF THEM TOGETHER JUST DO IT LET HELL BREAK LOSE AT THE SAME TIME WE WILL HANDLE THE AFTERMATH
#BRINGVALKOBACK
this is the thing about that og5 subreddit glazing ppg for “listening to their cn playerbase” and caring more about them that really baffles me. why are YOU as a global player happy that a company is willing to take your money and time and emotional investment in their product—
The way they could've easily made like 50-80 million usd this month instead of 10 million...
A new character debut and Rafayel myth is a stacked asf combo
“No nos están ignorando” y es exactamente lo que están haciendo. Se entiende que haya matices y poderes en juego que aún no entendemos, pero nada justifica la falta de un comunicado oficial. Su fandom global no les importa #ValkoisLoved#ValkoisInnocent#BringValkoBack
