El hecho de que a quienes nos gustó Valko no dijimos nada porque pues ¿Que era lompeor que podría pasar además de que se quejaran un rato y ya luego lo dejarán? Neta que Infold tomó una decisión tan idiota #VALKOISLOVED#BRINGBACKVALKO
n what actually works is not spending, not logging in, simply deleting the game. But Infold is taking advantage of your parasocial dependency on fictional characters to laugh in your face. N you’re letting them. Again, you’re free to do whatever you want, but be aware of reality.
Eye opener and hard pill to swallow at the risk of getting a lot of hate.
The reason we haven’t achieved more it’s bc this fandom is divided between “it’s the thought that counts” and “we want actual results.” We’re against a multi millionaire company. They do not care about our
I see a lot of people on LADs twt talking about the Infinity Nikki "girlcott" of 1.5 & I just wanted to add context from an actual player who was there at the time.
List of problems that we had with the state of the game:
1. Bugs, crashes, unable to log in, lag, ongoing performance issues.
2. Implementation of excessive flashing lights but no warning for those with epilepsy.
3. Poor rewards for free-to-play players.
4. Our boycott was being blacklisted by Infold (allegedly), thus, that's where the term "girlcott" came from.
5. "Ballgown-gate" - complaints of similarity between paid banner outfits.
6. Arguably the worst one, and still a bone of contention to this day, the retcon of 1.0s story, due to the implementation of the co-op feature in 1.5.
7. Communication with the community.
8. Quality and/or quantity of in-game events.
9. They're likely some micro ones, that I personally cannot remember, but these were the most important ones at the time.
The "girlcott" - players stop logging in, mainly because, let's be honest, they couldn't.
Players stop spending, complaints were sent (politely) into Infold both by email and social media. The girlcott was a CN & global one.
The girlcott also lasted about 3-4 weeks.
I think whilst everyone is bringing up the IN 1.5 issues that we had with the game, it's very important to remember what Infold have since done to rectify those problems, as I do not see a lot of people talking about this within the conversation.
1. All of these problems were fixed, the current patch was extended by a short amount of time to deal with the immediate issues, and ongoing fixes to the performance of the game have been completed in the year since 1.5. Players were compensated & given regular updates.
2. An epilepsy warning, whilst brief, has been added to the beginning of the game upon load up.
3. In my personal opinion, the rewards for free-to-play payers have improved to a reasonable level. This opinion is obviously going to vary player to player. We also received plenty of free outfits, but depending on the size of the patch, between 2-8+.
4. We were eventually listened to, apologised to, and given promises for the game to be fixed. It has been. And promised that this wouldn't happen again. It hasn't.
5. Now that the game is a year and a half old, there is a much higher variety of 5* paid banners.
6. Whilst we have not currently seen a resolution to this, and many players are still unhappy that the beginning of 1.0s story no longer exists within the game, the story team has done an excellent job over the past year of developing the story into something that we all enjoy & love, even if the original story is not there.
The main crux of the problem seems to be with the release of the "threads of reunion outfit" shown at the start of the game - we have been promised that this will come at some point in the games development.
7. We now receive regular communication about updates, the state of the game, progress, what's coming next, and live streams for big patches a few days in advance. We're not happy that we're still getting previews for new banners 2-4 days before launch, but we highly doubt this will ever change as they do this across all their games.
8. Events have improved, it's still spotty within some patches, but for the most part we're happy with the events that we are getting.
I understand the very valid criticism of Infold right now, I think it's important to remember that with the IN boycott in 1.5, most of our issues, problems and concerns have been resolved. As a player myself, I really hope the same for LADs.

rafayel would also hate tf outta infold for scraping a piece of art that took ppl 2 years of hard work and dedication. he would be all for a boycott against money hungry individuals
how i feel whenever i read that someone doesn't wanna boycott solo banners because they don't want "their li's revenue" to drop BRO THATS ALL INFOLD'S REVENUE
Boicotear es decisión de cada uno no puedes obligar ni acosar a la gente para que se unan al boycott si no quiere. Pero— la gente que no boicotea debería respetar a la gente que lo hace y entender por que lo hacen y deberían tener claro las consecuencias de no hacerlo
I’m so frustrated. There’s a weibo post on the lads super topic asking the opinion on lots of players wanting Valko back and all comments (over 20k likes) just saying “it’s the water army” “they’re paid” LIKE WTF BRO?? How are they still in denial?!?
Infold, ya, devolvé a Valko y ya está, literalmente meterlo nuevamente al juego resolvería el 80% de los problemas que tiene la empresa en este momento, ni siquiera estan ganando lo suficiente como para mantenerse reacios por mucho tiempo a la idea de meter a Valko de vuelta😵💫
I was reading a few articles and gaming companies can release characters after the character was cancelled a few days before launch that gives me hope that Valko will be back even if it is with some slight rework #BringBackValko
A esto me refiero cuando digo que se nota el amor de los devs en Valko. Sólo un artista sabe articular la ternura que le da vida a su obra, no una empresa. Valko fuiste creado con tanto cuidado. Haremos que ese amor continúe encendido #ValkoWasFramed#BringValkoBack#ValkoisLoved
Also why are they mad that it’s being donated to charities on topic with Valko? Like no shit it’ll go to a wolf conservation first, the character is a fucking wolf 😭
