The July 8 statement uses self-inspection and self-rectification language. That is compliance vocabulary. In my view, that announcement was never really written for us, or for CN players. It was written for the people above them. It reads like a company under scrutiny proving it is behaving. That would explain the whole pattern: trimming sensitive content in game, total silence about Valko, pulling out of public events.

Now, the question I kept asking myself: if he's cancelled forever, why is his marketing only HALF gone?

Look at the pattern. What they removed is everything the angry CN audience and regulators can see: the in game "coming soon," the Weibo and XHS material, the promo content inside China. What they left untouched is everything China does NOT see: YouTube is blocked there, and Spotify and Apple Music don't operate in the CN market. His videos are still archived and playable. His songs are still streaming.

There's a practical layer too. Taking music off streaming platforms means takedown processes, distributor contracts, royalty paperwork. Scrubbing YouTube creates headlines like "Papergames erases Valko," which is another news cycle they clearly don't want. Archiving instead of deleting is the minimum noise move.

But here is the part that matters to me: a company that truly decided something is dead forever usually doesn't pay to keep it breathing on every global platform. Dismantling only the side that's on fire, while leaving the rest intact, is what you do when you want to keep a door open. Maybe not for China. Maybe not soon. Maybe never, I can't promise you that. But it is not nothing.

The hard part we have to face together: even if Valko comes back someday, it will probably be much later. And it will be to a game reshaped by all of this. LADS is going to feel different for a while, maybe for a long while. That is a real loss, and you're allowed to grieve it.

What we do now: no hate. Not at Papergames, not at CN players, who are not a monolith and many of whom are grieving too. Everyone saw what pressure and harassment achieved these past weeks. If we become the next wave of it, we close the door on Valko ourselves.

Nine days of statements and they have never once said the word "over." Patience will be our best ally and what we will hate the most.

‼️PLEASE READ‼️

If you are losing hope or motivation like I was earlier tonight, please I advise you to watch this. I explained and specified what I meant in some parts, but I truly hope this will help you to continue fighting. But at the end of the day, we have 2 options. We take the easy way out. Or we fight…We fight until Valko is home. Until infold hears us.

But the key point in fighting, is showing love and support to others. if we want infold to hear us, we need to be just as loud as last week. Yes, July 9th is a blackout. Take the day to rest and recover, go on the game if you really feel the need to. But please, don’t spend any money. The fight is long from over. We can’t let the haters and other shit keep Valko hidden from us.

It’s ok to take breaks, it’s ok to lose hope, but know we are all here to fight for you while you gain back the strength and motivation to bring our wolf home.

Side note: this is why I love other games like The Last of Us. Moments like this clip is such an example for motivation. It may not be the best but hopefully it helps you.

We love you Valko, and we are not going to stop fighting until @Love_Deepspace/@LoveDeepspaceJP listens to us Global Players. Because as of right now, we feel disrespected. The fact that we didn’t get a statement is beyond wild. Infold needs to do better but we’re not gonna send threats and cow shit to the company’s office. Us Global players have done nothing this week but spread love and peace.

So if you wish to join me and many others in continuing to fight, you are more than welcome. If you feel you can’t fight anymore, then that’s ok too. We will not judge you. We still appreciate your love this week during the first week of fighting. Now let’s bring our wolf husband home…I know we can do it. And I’m forever proud of you all…

For Valko. For us. The global players. 🐺🩶

‼️WITHOUT AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THEM NOTHING IS CLEAR.‼️

DON'T GIVE UP YET.

I don't know what happened when I was asleep, but no official statement doesn't mean all hope is lost.
I understand it's tough to have faith and keep holding on. Hell, I'm on that sweet, sweet Valkopium at this point.

But don't give up.

Let's continue like we have been, we can keep going strong. We are not going to let those bullies win.

In my mind, this was always going to be more of a marathon than a sprint. Things are so fucked up over there that I never expected this to be resolved and back to normal in a week. The haters are as loud as ever and the company is clearly still in survival mode.

I know it feels hopeless and if you’re leaving now I don’t blame you.

We have fought so hard and we are tired. If this is the end of your battle please take comfort in the fact that you were on the right side of history: the side that helped unite a divided community, raised money for good causes and showed his team and everyone behind the game that their work is loved all around the world and that the threats, abuse, and bullying they endured should never have been rewarded or tolerated.

You all did so so well and I know Valko would be proud 🥹❤️ as for me, I’ll still be here waiting for answers and, at least for now, I won’t let them forget what they took from us.

Let's clean up the information mess, because anxiety feeds on confusion. Here is what's confirmed, what's rumor, and my honest reading of where we stand.

CONFIRMED, with sources:

June 22: Valko revealed via livestream. Over 1 million comments under the official Weibo post, mostly negative (Beijing News).

Physical protests at Papergames HQ: cow dung delivered to their lockers, white and yellow funeral chrysanthemums, curse banners, ritual cleansing items (GameSpot, GuruGamer). This is documented. This is the level of pressure the decision was made under.

Collective consumer complaints grew from about 9,600 to over 40,000 participants. Nearly 500K followers lost on CN platforms in 4 days (Beijing News, DoNews).

June 30: the official letter. Valko's launch and development cancelled, no new love interests going forward.

July 8: formal apology, withdrawal from BilibiliWorld 2026, full refunds of tickets, flights and hotels for contest winners.

Public data as of today: 1.4 stars on App Store China, 610K of 697K ratings are 1 star. Grossing rank went from top 5 to 96. Verifiable by anyone, link in the first reply.

NOT CONFIRMED, please stop spreading these as facts:

The videos of people showing up at their offices with weapons. Those clips are circulating here and on TikTok, reposted from CN platforms, but no reliable outlet has verified them.

"The Valko team resigned." There is a denial circulating too. Nothing confirmed in either direction.

Cafe audio and card scenes being modified or toned down. These are player reports for now. Possibly true, but unverified until someone documents it properly.

The 27GB update as proof that Valko is in the files. Speculation. I do believe this, or that Home 2.0 should be HUGE.

MY READING, and I want to be clear this is analysis, not fact:

Stay positive, hope, but more importantly, take care of yourself 💚

All I can do is drawing stupid things. But if it can bring a smile on some people’ face - including myself lol - then I’ll keep drawing !
