CN lilies organizing Valko's billboard window display on 29th all over Cologne (50 shop window screens)! Refer location here 👇🏻
A message from them:
We chose the August 29th window display for the following reasons: August 29th is the busiest day of the year at the gamescom exhibition, with peak visitor traffic. All nearby window displays are fully booked, ensuring that anyone entering stores to shop for various goods will see Valko shining brightly in Cologne and witness our stance.
‼️We have an update Lillies!‼️
The Valko Gamescom campaign has now received dedicated coverage from an established Chinese business/industry publication.

On 28 August, SourceSight (源Sight) published an article focused on the renewed international push for Valko/Ao Yin during Gamescom.
The article specifically discusses:
• The 25 Valko screens at Cologne Bonn Airport
• The advertising trucks operating around Gamescom
• The international #BringValkoBack campaign
• The continued conflict within the Love and Deepspace playerbase following Valko’s cancellation
• Third-party estimates showing a significant decline in Love and Deepspace revenue in July
It frames the Gamescom activity as a renewed “Ao Yin controversy 2.0” and discusses the situation in the context of Papergames’ wider business and player-retention problems.
Some clarification on the source:
SourceSight is not a mainstream national news outlet, but it is an established Chinese business/industry publication. Its work is regularly republished, with attribution and in some cases explicit authorization, by larger Chinese business and media platforms such as 36Kr (they published an independent article mentioning Valko recently!), Sina Finance, Jiemian and Stockstar. That gives it substantially more credibility than an ordinary self-media or fandom account.
The version of this article currently publicly accessible is hosted by Stockstar (证券之星). Stockstar did not write the article. It is a republication of the SourceSight article, and the page explicitly credits SourceSight as the source and names 白河 / 杨子 as the authors.
This is therefore different from the Weibo posts and verified bloggers that have been circulating the Gamescom campaign over the past few days. It represents dedicated coverage from an established Chinese industry publication, although I would not describe it as mainstream CN media coverage yet.
Still, this is a massive win for us! THIS is how general public sentiment towards our wolf starts shifting into a positive light! All we really need now is for a high visibility mainstream outlet to pick this up and run with it☺️

Dear @Love_Deepspace , look at how much the fandom misses and loves Valko!
Girls from dozens of Russian cities have united in this flashmob to show that we haven't forgotten him. We still truly hope for his return. His story deserves to be told
#BringValkoBack
people are not forgetting about valko. we’re just fucking tired 😭
the revenue is speaking. the boycott is working. people are just settling, but that doesn’t mean they’re going back to the game. people who have gone silent are most likely just burnt out, but still boycotting.
we are still loud. we are still here.
💚
Why no one talk about the way the camera flashes when Valko step out of the car??like bruh the aura and the power this man hold😩🤌🏻
