Simmer turned Valko Main

[Pepperonijabroni @pepperonijabro]

Not that anyone cares what I think but it’s of my personal opinion that global is safer not touching cn tags because that’s not our lane but also not calling ppg out explicitly for the obvious damage to consumer trust and lack of comms on our end feels so strange to me

[Pepperonijabroni @pepperonijabro]

@Love_Deepspace What is your problem this is so offensive and tone deaf. If you’re not going to release Valko then stop edging us with his content

[Ksidonn🐺🍎🐦‍⬛ @ksidonn]

С учётом того, как ппг любят давить на больное в зеркальные даты, даже не удивлюсь, если 28 числа они выкатят письмо с окончательной отменой Валко или ещё чего похуже сделают😬

[gwern @Yoboroten]

Letters for Valko may not have named a specific reason for two reasons: they themselves weren't told which tag it was about and just got a brush-off; at the same time, they may not have wanted a witch hunt to start. But that's exactly what started, which is incredibly sad.

This habit of blocking everyone because you see enemies/bots/antis in everyone, that was exactly the danger of the conspiracy theories about competitors. Who the hell doesn't have competitors? Competitors aren't holding the company hostage so that it can't answer us for three months. But now the entire boycott is in a vacuum. Great job.

Reminder to everyone: none of these were ever unintentional.
6.22 🆚 9.22; 7.9 🆚 9.7.
"LADS Back to Square One" (which they never dared to post on Global).
Using an old 5LI asset for the call promo when they clearly had a new 5LI banner planned.

очередная статья, хоть и неизвестно проплаченная ли ППГ, но содержание совсем не на нашей стороне

после этого, вы хотите поднимать им статистику входов? в Китае прямо пишут, что БЕЗ ВАЛКО ИГРА ПРОДОЛЖАЕТСЯ, А ИГРОКИ НЕ УХОДЯТ

@OtomeGamer0u @pepperonijabro i also debunked the plushie theory and and proved theyre following established patterns & figured out the release dates

& she still used the theory in her big combo one, now saying theyre actually intentionally using the pattern instead and that's why its true
then @-ed me in it

[🚀 @ApodaAvocat]

You ppl can't accept Infold for what they are. A company.
They do not care about how you feel, what you think and how their actions impacts you.
They just want your money.
And they know how to get it, what button to touch, what insecurity to appease.
They are not your friend.

[Pepperonijabroni @pepperonijabro]

@Valkos_print Pretty sure no because it’s tied to how much of the game you’ve completed

[Pepperonijabroni @pepperonijabro]

@Freesiasbloom @Liana00669 That one person just has a person issue with tencent and is projecting. Ya everyone hates tencent but it’s irresponsible to spread that without evidence just like hopium on vibes is

[Pepperonijabroni @pepperonijabro]

How many boycotts has this fuckass company had lmaooooooo

[𐙚VIVI @egg0tomatos]

anyways some of you need to logout and genuinely find another hobby instead of coming on here anxiously waiting. we been saying for months now a boycott is not a sprint, it's a marathon.

nikki boycott lasted about 4 months. MLQC i believe lasted longer.

[Pepperonijabroni @pepperonijabro]

@Freesiasbloom @Liana00669 Also kind of laughing because they all were like oh SW hasn’t posted in a while PPG must be taking action then SW posts yesterday 😭 so they had to switch to isn’t is suspicious they’re posting while the boycott is falling apart since ppg is clearly doing nothing

[⭐️🐺 Higaski 🐟🍎❄️🐦‍⬛ @higaski]

After reading comments, crashing out a little bit (as we all do every now and then these past 3 months) and then proceeding to ponder, these are my thoughts right now (long post ahead):

I feel like the two unkown variables regarding Valko's chance for reinstatement is:
1) How much money has Papergames potentially set aside or invested the past two years.
2) Just HOW heavy is the threat of things escalating to Chinese government levels? Does it outweigh their economic interests?

== 1) potential reserves ==
If their investments have been large enough and profitable, then the pressure from LADS' decreased revenue will be less dire for PPG. But as @dimplelicker said (https://t.co/pLVRNH74S4) even if they can tap into these reserves they would probably not want to live off of them for long when there seem to be a solution.

Worth noting here is also PPG's new investment fund which they established September 16th, starting with 100 million yuan. That doesn't seem like something someone struggling financially would do.
(I have only seen one or two media outlet sources for this, so take it with a grain of salt.)

== 1.1) is Valko the solution? ==
We in the boycott think it's obvious that Valko is the solution to this revenue problem. But the question is "Do PPG themselves see reinstating Valko as the solution?"
Because even though the revenue is down 60% during the boycott, they might not believe enough of us can be won back by reinstating Valko for it to be the better choice.

This is one of the things within our power to some extent: We can try and make PPG sure that Valko's return will be the most profitable choice. That's one of the reasons I won't say "I won't play the game even IF Valko is reinstated" or "I won't use money even IF Valko is reinstated".
I will, because Valko's reinstatement SHALL BE the better choice dammit, and I need PPG to hear that.

Don't take this as me being lovey dovey for PPG though: They fucking suck for this silent treatment. Until Valko's reinstatement, I will do what I can to repel potential new players and keep PPG's/Infold's reputation poor (bad reviews, refute positive articles about them in the comments etc.) - on all the social medias I have. #NoValkoNoMoney #PPGSpeakUp after all.
Valko's reinstatement shall be the better choice - not only because they will earn money, but because they shall want us to stop the protesting 😂

I hope PPG also consider that many of those who spend money now (the antis and neutrals) probably won't leave even if Valko is reinstated.
Will the antis be mad? Yes.
Threaten to leave? Probably.
But I personally believe most of them won't - I think the ones playing now are way too attached to the game to drop it for basically any reason. Their main will be there, after all.

== 2) the threat of escalation to the government level ==
This is where many of us fall short: we're non-Chinese and/or not living in China. No matter how hard we try to understand and see things through a "Chinese political and governmental climate lens", we will be biased from own corresponding "national corporate climates".

This situation we're in would never even happen in Norway so how can I even try to understand, you know?

Papergames is seemingly getting by. And if the choice stands between getting by for now with potential for recovery later, or risk being reported to the government again and potentially being shut down for good...
Then yeah...

This is where I truly hope that this new law and their new legal team make them able and willing to reinstate Valko without a fatal fallout.
It could unfortunately also "just" be to make sure nothing like this ever happens again, without any intentions of reinstating Valko.

== Last words ==
I hope PPG have budgeted and laid basically all their plans on the assumption of earning on par with or higher than their regular revenue level - so that the economic pressure wins over their fear for yet another backlash in China.

@bee_jway They needed to semi remake the event to remove valko, so I wouldn't be surprised if they twisted some dialogs

[Pepperonijabroni @pepperonijabro]

Some of y’all sound like awoooanon on here 😭

[Pepperonijabroni @pepperonijabro]

@ApodaAvocat @TristanLaD They’ll just find something else to cling onto lmao I’m sure Xavs bday will have some “hints”

[Pepperonijabroni @pepperonijabro]

This does NOT require global to get scrambled in CN politics we have no grasp of BUT it requires us to start naming Infold directly separate from Valko. Decoupling the two is imperative

[Pepperonijabroni @pepperonijabro]

I know no one cares what I think because I have like 2 followers but this really needs a two fold approach pro valko AND anti infold so everyone just needs to mind their own business and do whatever they feel comfortable with.

ずっと言ってるかもだけど、とりあえず反対意見の人を口汚く罵るのをやめませんか。
ロウガの復帰、或いはPPGの改善orDIEを考えた時に、同じ方向を向いている人間が減るのは誰にとっても良くないよ。

「急進派」が結構攻撃的な事を言ってるのも見たし、「穏健派」が相手を間違ってると決めた時の残酷さも結構すごいよ。
エロエロ派だけがセクシーに暮らしてるよ。
（分類は💐🐕個人の見解による）

両派に問題があり、そして問題がある事は普通だよ。
世の中を見てみれば、ありとあらゆる集団で揉め事は発生してるし、社会運動（これは社会というような規模じゃないけど、形が少し似てるね）は団結を失って瓦解している。

そもそもどうすればロウガが戻ってくるか、PPGの消費者に対する対応が改善されるかなんか、誰も分かってないし。
そりゃそれぞれ「こうすればこうなるはず」みたいな仮説に基づいて判断しているわけだが、仮説は仮説だし。
PPGはみんなが今まで見てきた通りの会社なので、合理的な反応は期待できないし。

もしかしたら、ロウガのちんちんイラストがXで25万本になったら皆の願いが叶うのかもよ。

それから人間は、時間経過で考えを変える事もあるしさ。
何言いたいかまとまらなくなってきたけど、本当に罵り合いをやめませんか。
直リプとか引用とかしてなくても、Xの仕様は地獄だから見えてるよ。
陰口みたいなやつとかもさ。

ボイコッター達で分裂していい事ってPPGにしかないし、双方に相手を尊重する意識を持ってほしい。

[Pepperonijabroni @pepperonijabro]

Why?: because Infold needs to see sustained interest for Valko on the other end of the spectrum we need to block new player acquisition to keep profits low during the boycott you can’t do one without the other
