Infold, I skipped Rafayel’s 4th myth and I wasn’t even worried. I skipped the 4th myth of my previous main, you think a cheap spicy multi will make me redownload the game? HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH
antis accusing valko of being violent then turning around and creating media of him getting cooked alive, shot by other li, kidnapped and mutilated, etc.
YOU are the violent one.
GOOD MORNING AWOOMFIES! VALKO WANTS TO REMIND YOU THAT YOU ARE LOVED AND APPRECIATED EVEN WHEN YOU SMELL LIKE BURNT PANCAKE (wait who said that 👀) HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY! MUAH MUAH MUAH 😘

Hi Everyone, for the last 2 and a half months I have been actively participating in the fight to be heard by @InfoldGames_ .
I have also
1. communicated with the VIP Discord Support staff who were unable to provide any substantive assistance or information.
2. emailed Infold support both in English and in simplified Chinese without receiving a response.
3. joined Discord communities to participate in organized, collective efforts.
4. contributed financially to petitions and community efforts in support of Valko.
5. completely stopped spending money in the game.
6. stopped logging into the game.
7. finally, I uninstalled the game entirely.
Additionally, in 2024-2025 I spent over $16,000 USD on the game because I genuinely enjoyed the game. That is also why the continued lack of a substantive statement to Global players regarding the June 30 cancellation has affected my trust in the company so significantly.
How can @Love_Deepspace present itself as a bridge to international audiences while declining to communicate with those audiences about one of the largest content reversals in the game's history?
After more than two months of attempting to engage through the channels available to us, I no longer believe that repeatedly contacting the same channels is productive.
Moving forward, I will begin reaching out through U.S. consumer advocacy and press avenues with the documentation I have collected over the last two and a half months.
Please, don’t scroll past this.
I just hope that even a little of what I’m trying to say can reach someone.
There’s a Japanese saying: “Warau kado ni wa fuku kitaru” — “Fortune comes to a smiling home.”
It doesn’t mean that you have to force yourself to smile through every hardship, or convince yourself that everything is fine.
Rather, it carries the idea that even when things are difficult, holding on to hope and keeping a positive spirit can eventually bring something good into our lives.
I know there are people who are grieving right now, wondering if Valko will ever come back.
I understand those feelings. It’s natural to feel scared, anxious, or discouraged.
But the future has not been decided yet.
We don’t need to take everything we don’t know right now and assume that it will lead to the worst possible outcome.
The truth is, none of us knows what is going to happen next.
And that is exactly why I want to hold on to hope.
To everyone who is still doing their best to stay positive:
Please, don’t let go of that hope.
Being positive doesn’t mean turning a blind eye to reality.
You can be sad, you can be afraid, and still choose to believe that something good might be waiting for us.
None of us knows what the future will bring.
So rather than deciding that the ending will be a sad one before we even get there,
I would rather believe that something wonderful may still be waiting for us.
Let’s keep smiling.
Let’s keep hoping.
And above all, let’s not give up.
“Warau kado ni wa fuku kitaru.”
I truly believe that someday, our smiles and our hope can bring happiness to us. 🫶❤️

I’m probably gonna be laying kinda low for a while. The amount of shit I’m getting lately of stuff that is literally just not true is insane.
I was here to have fun. To advocate for a character that I loved, try to do what I could to hold out hope for a game that has brought me so much comfort over the past two years, but I’m just about at my limit.
I was out here doing stupid silly shit, having fun with all the theories, making stupid unhinged posts, giving you guys silly little graphics, laughing at the ridiculous hate, but currently it’s not fun, its exhausting.
I’m not gonna sit here and try to disprove any of the stupid claims that are being made about me by some antis cause they’re literally just not true and don’t even deserve that much energy.
Contrary to what a few people might believe this is not my entire life, and I won’t let it do anything to affect my real life.
We can disagree and argue all day long. That’s fine. But the moment it turns hateful and legitimately harmful, I’m out.
This is a game. These are fictional characters. And no matter how much I loved it, it’s not serious enough to let it affect my life.
I might be around here and there, and I’m still boycotting, still supporting you guys, still hoping for the best. But I have to take care of myself. 💕
#BringValkoBack
This is a fairly important post. I'm doing a breakdown of the new event, because there's a lot to talk about here. How you take it is up to you.
Yes, those sachets - I knew about them back in Zayne's patch, and I assumed they'd bring this event out alongside the new multi-banner in September, because my hypothesis was that the multi itself had been moved from Qixi to September. The event falls into the same category, so they'd go out as a pair, the way it usually works. Even if that doesn't seem entirely fitting at first glance. But what I saw today? That's a warning sign, I'll say that upfront.
The section was added to the client in full during Zayne's patch. On 30.08 - 344 entries all at once, zero before that. The only change in two weeks is one added icon, icon_06, in patch 1553; what it depicts can't be verified, since the file isn't in the client.
The sets are built for five, perfectly symmetrical. 44 entries each: three sachet bases, patterns in three render variants, portraits, chibi heads. The numbering scheme is identical for all of them down to the last digit. For Valko - zero across all seven positions.
The event mechanic is sewing sachets, which we already saw in the trailer. And in that same patch, the chibi scene Loop_Idle_Sew_01 - sewing - appeared for the first time. Before 28.08 it didn't exist for anyone. It was later added for all seven (the six boys and MC), including QXL.
In Valko's chibi layer there are two scenes total, across all time. A standard idle and sewing. Nothing else. Everyone else has 30-45 scenes; the heroine has around forty. Half of everything he has in the chibi layer is an animation tied to the mechanic of an event he isn't in.
If anyone doubts this, you can check these files yourself, I've given the names in the photo.
Now my analysis. This is a hypothesis, not data.
He was cancelled, so emptiness in the files isn't news - we already know his assets were stripped out and only integrations were left. What matters isn't what's missing, it's what survived. And what survived is the sewing animation, tied to the mechanic of this exact event, for a character who has nothing else left.
And here's what I think happens next. There hasn't been a OG5 multi-banner in a long time - not a single new one in three months, only reruns. It's the most visible format there is: the absence of a sixth is noticed instantly and by everyone at once. An event mechanic built for five is quieter. You can ship it, keep your content schedule intact, and see what happens.
I think this is a test of how the first event where he's simply absent goes, with nobody saying it out loud. Yes, we'll draw him in and add him ourselves, the way we have many times. But that won't make the noise a multi would - the noise there should be right now. If it passes quietly, Infold's next step will be bigger. Notice the pattern: first they gave us a branch, which frankly is survivable, and we comfort ourselves with the thought that the story text doesn't have to be changed, it can be delivered as is, and Valko can be added later as though he were part of that story with no content lost. Today they gave us an event he SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN. And people calmly exhale: "Well, it's not a multi-banner! This is a good sign!"
And that's how we get to the point where even a multi without Valko is just a "necessity, so that later he can be released without trouble, just a bit later". Because competitors. Because sentiment in China is somehow off. NO. This will go on forever, until most of us leave the boycott or return to the game and start spending again. Have the antis calmed down in this time? They'll sit exactly as we do, so what public calming are we even talking about? Or maybe Infold is waiting for us to go quiet, don't you think? We haven't gotten a single letter or explanation. Valko's materials were removed far too early, and there's still no sign of his debut. None of this is being done to release Valko; it's being done so they can go back to earning quietly without that reminder of their disgrace.
So we can't sit around feeding on hopium right now. They'll keep feeding it to us, and the accounts that are still playing and actively spending will keep feeding it to you too, talking about competition. Competition exists everywhere! Without competition games don't develop (a Genshin moment). Even if competitors did wreck things for them, that doesn't justify ignoring and staying silent toward the audience that has been feeding them all this time.
This has been dragging on since July 9. If at first it might have looked like they were genuinely being careful and delaying in order to think through how to bring Valko back, we're now in the third month of the boycott. And out of everything they do, all they're doing is trying to make money and satisfy the antis. The antis, who did this to their own business.
They're waiting for us to get tired and go quiet, so they can lure back the ones who are already wavering. You can keep sitting and believing, of course - they'll bring him back later. Or maybe not. It's calmer for them, scandal-free, to keep the five. And if they do bring back a sixth, they'll do it as a favor to us, not as their obligation or because their game starts to stagnate, since every new guy (Sylus and Caleb) boosted the game, made it more popular, expanded the global market once China had already hit its ceiling, and they'll simply be left with no choice but to pull him out. And there's no guarantee his cards won't come out less often or at lower quality. Infold has already started pushing OG5 in small steps, and they'll only reinforce it further.
What does this mean for us? We need to get more active: louder, push the tags, flood them with letters even harder, stop being sweet and understanding with them. Are they concerned about our wellbeing? We have the right to be angry, within reason - at the very least to tell them how wrong they are to think we'll just let this go and swallow it. Most important: uninstall the game with every action of theirs where Valko is absent. We already aren't spending money, so the only way left to make it clear we're unhappy and won't accept this is uninstalling the game.
I'd be happy to be wrong, but as always, I'm only saying what I see in the data.
