We should prepare ourselves for the possibility that Infold won't make another statement and will simply return to business as usual.
But *if* the reports from China are accurate and Valko's removal was ultimately Infold's own business decision (not a direct government order) then any future reconsideration would also be a business decision.
And business decisions aren't based on one week of social media.
They're based on long-term trust, brand reputation, player confidence, reviews, engagement, and revenue.
If the Valko situation continues to define how players feel about Love and Deepspace months from now, then it remains a business issue: not just a community discussion. So dont spend money, remind them respectfully that we love Valko and want him back. Now and the next months until we have him back.
That's why I believe this is a *marathon, not a sprint*. #ValkoIsLoved
Despite a passionate campaign from fans, the maker of the romance game Love and Deepspace appears to be – at least for now – sticking with its decision to exclude the new love interest Valko from the latest update. https://t.co/D7QbKiaxL9
Once we get Valko back, we need to have a long conversation abt why there are so many minors in this space, bc they are absolutely the driving force behind a lot of the toxicity in the fandom that caused this mess (like the competitive, parasocial, stan behavior). Just saying.
Confession/rant:
I am surprised & saddened by how easy I am finding it to boycott.
I thought I would miss the boys, especially Rafayel, and I truly do.
But the disappointment and insult I feel when looking at a game whose creative integrity was not protected outweighs that.
Genuinely disappointed to see how many people are just. Choosing not to boycott anymore. This is exactly why we don't ever see any meaningful change in this game. People fold after a week.
bro I can't believe like... basically 200+ thousand people were like "WE WILL LITERALLY DROWN YOU IN CASH IF YOU RELEASE #VALKO!!" and @Love_Deepspace and @InfoldGames_ were like "actually? I'd rather lose several million in revenue, thanks though! :)" like... THE FUCK?
i need yall to know that as a rafayel main, not even rafayel's 4th myth can sway me to log in. it'll get rerun. if anything, campaigning for valko to return is a good thing for rafayel mains, because it enriches his character via narrative foil.
This is because women are born with all of their eggs, the eggs are protected from mutations, while men are constantly making new sperm, which mutates thousands of times, because the dna isn’t protected like it is in the ovum cell. This is my fav story to tell. Haha
The Philippines now owns China according to DAILY TRIBUNE’s own imaginary 9-dash line.
According to Tribune scholars, since China claims Taiwan, and Taiwan is just north of Batanes, then by extension Batanes owns China.
The Philippines will also rename the entire island as “Big Binondo.”

Now. Why should we accommodate the logic of imperialists, whether the US or China, in this case China—creating fictional excuses for jingoist academics that claiming Batanes is simply a “response”
Meanwhile in their latest statement, they repeatedly frame PH as malevolent
"kill yourself" is weak. "i hope your otome gacha game introduces a new werewolf love interest that you fall in love with but is then subsequently pulled from the game because of backlash from other fans” is real. it's scary. it happened to me 😭😭😭😭😭😭
If students recall their history classes on the Monopolyo ng Tabako involving Gov-Gen José Basco y Vargas, that same Gen. Basco (Basco was named after him) was the one who led the conquest of Batanes.
Don't fall for Beijing's historical revisionism and fantasies on Batanes.
BECAUSE it is about the REAL stuff
+false advertisement
+false promise
+Voice actors losing jobs
+4 chapter worth of MAIN story getting removed
+ the answer to the standard yellow stella companion being gone
+ppl being racist to REAL ppl over pixels
+Infold ignoring other issues
China likes to ragebait us Filipinos. It's time we do the same to them.
What's the proper ragebait to them? Influence the mainland Chinese citizens to revolt against their Communist-Authoritarian government.
Pabagsakin si Xi Jinping!
A toast to the great fall of CN gaming industry. Which I already said that again and again, DON'T FUCKING BRING GOVERNMENT INTO GAMING COMMUNITY!!!!!!!
16 WHITE DOTS
These dots show that West Philippine Sea, South China Sea, the Paracels, and Guandong, all belongs to the Philippines.
Geologically, Palawan split from the coastal area of southeastern China, in the region corresponding to modern-day Guangdong & Hong Kong.
