PSA for everyone scared the boycott could get Love and Deepspace removed from the app stores: that is NOT how app stores work. Let's clear this up. 🐺
❌ Bad reviews do NOT remove apps.
❌ Low ratings do NOT remove apps.
❌ Refunds and uninstalls do NOT remove apps.
❌ Players quitting does NOT remove apps.
Google Play and the App Store do not delist games because users are angry at them. They delist apps when the DEVELOPER breaks store rules. That's it.
Apps actually get removed for things like:
🔸 Malware or hidden data collection
🔸 Copyright/trademark infringement or court orders
🔸 Government bans
🔸 Undisclosed gambling mechanics or content rating violations
🔸 The developer faking installs or buying reviews for THEMSELVES
🔸 Bypassing the store's payment system (this is what got Fortnite pulled — Epic broke the rules, not the players)
🔸 Abandoned apps that don't meet current security requirements
Notice what's not on that list? Us.
There is no mechanism , none, by which players expressing dissatisfaction gets a compliant app delisted. LADS follows store policies, so LADS stays on the stores. Period.
What our reviews and spending choices DO affect: Infold's revenue, their public image, and the message they receive about canceling Valko 9 days before launch after showing us his cards, his story, his voice.
That's the entire point of a boycott. It speaks the only language they listen to.
One honest note, because we deal in facts here: stores can delete individual reviews they flag as spam or off-topic. So write genuine, specific feedback about why you're disappointed, real reviews carry more weight and don't get swept.
Don't let fear-mongering shrink this movement. Nobody is "endangering the game." We are customers giving feedback about a product decision. That is allowed. That has always been allowed.
Keep going. 🐺

[translated] "In the latest 5.0 version livestream, the project team revealed that its global user base has surpassed 80 million, with daily active users up about 20% from before. On the overseas front, as of last May, Love and Deepspace's overseas revenue share had reached 52%, exceeding the domestic Chinese market."
WELL, well, well.
WOULDJA LOOK AT THAT.
KEEP FIGHTING. DON'T STOP.

Within minutes — shadowbanned. My posts, comments, and messages invisible to all CN users. Restriction set until September 30th.
I appealed. The platform reviewed my content, confirmed I violated nothing, and lifted the ban in under 20 minutes.
I kept posting. Same peaceful tone. Same respectful content.
Within the hour — permanently banned. Username reset. Profile wiped. Every post, comment, and message hidden forever.
I was silenced not for breaking rules, but for supporting a character that a manufactured pressure campaign got canceled.
My content was reviewed and cleared by the platform itself. And they still erased me.
This is what happens when you try to be heard as a global player. But I’m still here. And I’m not stopping.

‼️GUYS DON’T BELIEVE ANYONE WHO SAYS WE SHOULD SUPPORT INFLOP AND LOG IN OR THEY’L SHUT DOWN THE GLOBAL SERVERS‼️
haters are trying to get us to stop the boycott by making us log into the game and following back the official accounts!!!
‼️KEEP BOYCOTTING‼️

Love and Deepspace genuinely works hard to share Chinese culture with audiences. It never disrespects China or women. Please share this widely. I’ll keep adding more content, so make sure to spread all these positive statements!🙏#Valko#loveanddeepspacecharacters
Infold uses psychology research to create characters that we easily fall in love with. They know that they become a part of our emotional support system and it’s their responsibility to handle that with empathy and care. The way they ripped Valko away from people was beyond cruel
This Valko art is FREE OF USE !! Attaching a drive link below for copies of this, you can use it as a sticker and spread it around ‼️ I was commissioned by @tell_me_im_your_favorite
