I want:
1. Valko to be reinstated as the 6th LI with no changes, as he was launched.
2. Free dias, wishes, crates etc. for this TRAUMA.
3. Announce road map for major updates like myths and main story updates per LI - this is important because this silent July has messed up the schedule.
4. Specify QOL updates/timeline for recurring requests (i.e. MC voice, customisation, issues with darker skin tone etc.).
5. Commitment to making the fandom safer by not tolerating harmful behaviour and making sure guilty parties receive consequences.

If we want to keep our momentum, we HAVE to remain CONSISTENT. We CANNOT keep up the revolving door act with the hashtags anymore! (Link below.)

It’s wild how antis are desperately trying to report an article that highlights nothing but positive global efforts for Valko. They are trying to find malice in pure kindness.
Look at the facts: 250k+ signatures, non-profit fan events, and thousands raised out-of-pocket for wolf conservation, flood relief, and orphanage. Even if he isn't reinstated and we never see a dime of that money again, it doesn't matter. It was never about that. The bottom line is that real communities and vital causes are benefiting from our love for Valko, and no amount of reporting can erase that real-world impact.
The impact Valko brought is incomparable. This is peak history for Love and Deepspace, no other LI achieved this kind of attention especially globally and I'm saying this as someone who had seen it all since joining the community back in 2024. Valko will always be remembered this way, as the positive symbol that unite literally all mains despite the differences we had before.
POSITIVE NEWS PRO VALKO PACK!
Shanghai Administration has issued a comment on Weibo on their old Valko post CLEARING VALKO’S NAME OF VIOLATIONS! State media has also posted POSITIVE sentiments around all the donations and petitions Pro-Valko have been making!
This basically means Valko’s name is cleared of the offence’s that were placed against him, hence PG/Infold can bring him back without it being relating to any communal unrest within society due to the manipulative lies and misconstrued versions that were relaid of his content.

China news outlet covering Love and Deepspace overseas fans effort in Valko's return ingame!
this is a long read but they manage to mentioned all the significant efforts by global fans like signed petitions, fund raising for wolf conservation & Anime expo Valko's display.
they also mentioned global expenditure was about 40% and 60% coming from China. so this implies that global market is an important organic component of Love and Deepspace's user base, revenue structure, and brand influence.
quote by them– whether Valko will be launched again still depends on the internal quality of the game, data metrics, and long-term planning assessments. however, the continuous growth of overseas player petitions has already provided a signal worth pondering: when a character can form signatures, fan work, public welfare, and offline actions across multiple countries and regions, conducting re-verification and product validation for it is not a simple compliance with public opinion. it could also be a necessary re-assessment of global user demands and existing content investments.
This excerpt is one of the most important points of this new China media article that was released, talking about Valko’s cancellation and how deeply it affects the global market.
“For Chinese content companies building global brands, overseas competition ultimately relies on the ability to CONTINUOUSLY produce high-quality content […] if risk management simultaneously shuts down content directions (aka Valko) with potential demand, companies may lose not only a character but also a group of EXISTING potential users.
[…]
The continued growth of overseas petitions provides a significant signal: when a character generates signatures, creative works, charitable activities, and offline actions in multiple countries and regions, re-examining and product validation of that character is not merely a response to public opinion, but may also represent a repricing of global user demand and existing content investment.”
Basically the article is saying that the global movement to bring Valko back into the game should be re-examined by Papergames to see if it’s financially worthwhile to reinstate his presence as a 6th love interest character in the game.
By not doing so, they potentially are losing out on a huge market of pre-existing fans who would have spent money on him as well as cutting off new players who were interested as the thing companies care most about is how to have existing customer retention and also foster new customer growth, which are arguably both achievable with the release of Valko.

just a reminder to Valko mains
i know how emotionally exhausting it has been the past 2 weeks, but despite so, it shouldn't be a reason for us to respond to others in hatred. remember, we're not fighting other mains, that's not our purpose.
control your emotions, no insults. continue to speak for Valko out of love, if there's disagreement, engage in constructive criticism respectfully. if other party refuse to act with civil, then just stop engaging (block or mute) & move on. alittle sarcasm wouldn't hurt either honestly i do it alot, but 100% refraining myself from insulting another real person.
we're not here to fight other mains, we're here to fight for Valko.
ok now lets calm our mind and enjoy this edit of Valko as our big softie husband. #BringValkoBack #ValkoIsLoved
I just hope all these positive global fan movements for Valko, which practically serves as free marketing for Love and Deepspace as a game as a whole, actually does pay off.
This is truly a test of long term player trust at this point 😔 #ValkoIsLoved
