Part 3: Correcting myself as we like to keep ourselves accountable!
I've included iPad data since I did not realise that the mobile view of Qimai separated them mb 🤦🏻♀️
- Myth rerun post-Valko cancellation was abysmal (Thank you, Jasmines!)
- WiW not doing as bad as I expected BUT if you factor in that this banner has 4 LIs and the other two had 3 then it seems like spend went down. What was that first day though - we can still do better! Let's continue the boycott!
#valkoisloved #valkoisinnocent #bringvalkoback #valkoisgoodestboy
So it seems Valko returning depends A LOT on whether his removal affects revenue or not.
If there was ever a time to guard your wallets, please, it is now. For Rafy’s 4th Myth, if Raf Mains can delay their spending by at least a week please do so 🥹 as long as the revenue graph doesn’t spike, we have a really good chance of allowing the creative team to argue for Valko’s return!
As it is, Valko is Rafayel’s pair. Just like Sylus and Xavier or Zayne and Caleb🙏🏼

Dear Deepspace Hunters,
Recently, the development team has received a great deal of feedback and many suggestions regarding the game. We have also heard your concerns about the team's capacity to consistently deliver high-quality content in the future.
We would therefore like to take this opportunity to respond with the care that your trust and expectations deserve.
From the very beginning, we have hoped to make Love and Deepspace a romantic world that continues to grow alongside every Deepspace Hunter—a world filled with more diverse experiences and lasting companionship. This hope has guided us throughout the game's development and remains at the heart of everything we are working toward.
The development of Valko and his related content is part of the long-term content plan for Love and Deepspace. However, we recognize that the way information about Valko was presented did not give sufficient consideration to your expectations and concerns regarding the game's future content plans. As a result, many hunters have been left with questions and worries since Valko's initial announcement. We sincerely apologize for any frustration and unease this has caused.
We have also heard your concerns about whether future content can continue to be delivered consistently without compromising on quality.
Please be assured that the Love and Deepspace development team has continued to grow since the game's launch. The Main Story chapters you have been waiting for are currently in active development. The stories of Farspace Colonel Caleb and Onychinus Leader Sylus will continue, and the new series of Solar-Slot Memories will also be arriving soon. The development team will continue to deliver richer game experiences and high-quality content on a consistent basis.
We also understand that these concerns are not simply about the pace of updates. They come from how deeply you care about Love and Deepspace and the love interests who have been by your side throughout this journey. It is because you cherish every moment you have shared with them that you hope this companionship will continue for many years to come.
For this reason, we want to make this commitment to you: the stories, companionship, and future of every love interest will always remain an essential part of the long-term plans for Love and Deepspace. This will not change for any reason.
Enclosed with this letter are Deepspace Wish ×10 and Empyrean Wish ×10. Please log in to the game before July 23 to claim them from your in-game mailbox.
Once again, we would like to thank every Deepspace Hunter for the encouragement, honest feedback, and support you have given us throughout this journey. We know that it is your unwavering love and support that give meaning to everything we do and guide us forward.
In the future, the development team will keep working hard to bring you more high-quality content and a better game experience worthy of your support.
We hope you have a wonderful day in Linkon City—and many more wonderful days to come.
Love and Deepspace Development Team
If you truly want this boycott to be successful- Stop logging in and stop spending money. The ONLY thing this company will listen to is data and numbers. At the end of the day you have to understand that the business side and creative side exist in two different silos. What the production team wants is irrelevant if the executives dont think it has sufficient ROI. Stop spending money, and if you can stop logging in. Daily Active Users IS a metric they do and will leverage for a pulse check on how players actually feel.

alrighty cuz this is starting to bother me and idec anymore-
1) its not guaranteed raf's myth is dropping this month. they said revealed, not released.
2) stop policing people. pull or not- literally we're all adults here (or should be). if you can either r0, only r1, or pull primarily with resources and minimal spending thatd be super helpful! or if you can spread out your pulls/wait until last day so the income doesnt hit infold at once, thats awesome too. if you dont wanna pull at all, thats great as well!
3) boycotts do work. to say they dont, are pointless, dont have results is literally incorrect. if your american- starbucks and target are recent examples. if your not american, please look up starbucks and target following their boycotts that began in 2024 and 2025. tldr- they work. how? people who could stopped cold turkey, people who couldnt minimized their spending, or only went when no other option.
4) this boycott is for all issues, not just valko. valko is just the final straw because how can a company throw away 2-3 years of development because of antis while also NOT listening to (especially in this case even though domestic also made lots of noise) global's massive calls of wanting him back. if call outs at this scale arent shaking them, how can we expect them to care about other issues (global and domestic) we've been asking for? (lighting for darker skinned mcs, sustainable farming for f2p, inclusive hair options, regular ms updates, etc, etc) will i be happy when valko is reinstated? yes. will i still be fighting for and pushing for them to fix other issues if they arent addressed? yes and so should every valko main/supporter.
thats all. im done. will go back to making noise for my wolf boy and will start replying with this on any more of these bothersome posts i keep seeing because bffr guys.
LADS was my comfort game for a long time, but I can't bring myself to look at it the way I had before. The happiness was ripped off alongside Valko's cancellation. I hope he comes back soon, so I can finally stop being disgusted by the sight of it. #ValkoIsLoved#BringBackValko
what really hurts me the most about this whole thing is just how cruel people are.
i will never be able to wrap my head around the way people treat valko and the people who love him. seeing something so simple bring someone so much joy… why would anyone ever want to destroy that?
i know we’ll all be happy soon, playing side by side with all SIX love interests. it’s just going to take patience. and a whole lot of love <3

another day, another Valko global trending, at this point we are hitting 750k posts for Valko for the last 2 days, we are relentless! keep posting with #ValkoIsLoved#BringValkoBack & demand infold for Valko's return! both global & CN girlies are working tirelessly & we appreciate all the efforts!
remember to take a step back if its get overwhelming, stay hydrated.
real talk that even if they would decide with finality that Valko wouldn't come home, atleast we fought to the very end. people will always remember Valko, his traces are everywhere here & he won't be deleted entirely.
for now just keep fighting & keep voicing for Valko, i'm sure they are hearing us, they just don't want to address anything yet.
世界中のハンターたちの元へ ロウガ/敖尹/VALKOが無事に帰れるよう、ご協力ください。
何卒よろしくお願いします。

Bring back Valko as a love interest as it was intended. https://t.co/yxD4OrUWqA
Don’t let bad faith actors persuade you! The fact that they’re TRYING SO HARD TO STOP US shows that WHAT WE’RE DOING IS WORKING
If Valko really was a lost cause, would they be trying this hard? No! They would be sitting calmly, eating snacks and laughing at us! But we have them stressssed tf out🤣🤣🤣
KEEP GOING LADIES
KEEP MAKING NOISE FOR VALKOOOOOO

"So is boycotting for Valko gonna be your new sole interest and whole personality now?"
SIT DOWN AND LET ME EXPLAIN SOMETHING TO Y'ALL ABOUT ADHD AND AUTISM AND HYPERFIXATIONS!
The ADHD, Autistic, and AuDHD communities all have it in common that we HYPERFIXATE on what interests us.
Autists tend to hyperfixate in a way that's rather structured, rather deep, and creates what is commonly called "special interests" that they will rarely truly let go of in life, because these interests create comfort and regulation in their lives.
ADHDers are constantly chasing dopamine, because physically their brains and bodies are unable to sufficiently produce it themselves. For as long as an interest GIVES an ADHDer dopamine, that ADHDer will occupy themselves with it until they drain every last drop of dopamine they can get from it. And then start panicking and looking around for the next source of dopamine to keep themselves alive.
For AuDHDers? We have elements of both. Like other ADHDers, we also need external sources of dopamine to live fulfilling lives - sometimes to even continue *desiring* to live at all - that's just how our neurons are wired. But like our fellow autists, we also require deep, meaningful dives into the secrets of everything about a thing that interests us, and can spend YEARS of our lives studying and becoming the foremost keepers of lore about it.
How does the depth vs dopamine push-pull look for an AuDHD brain? Plenty of times this can look like we cycle back periodically to old interests we once hyperfixated on a few (or more) years ago and are now coming back to with new experiences, new perspectives to see it with, and a new need for fresh dopamine from an old and beloved "friend." That's just one of the ways it manifests. Other times we have steady longstanding interests that give us regulation and comfort, with intense "side quest" interests that spontaneously pop up and give us dopamine. That's another way. Both ways (and more) can manifest throughout life in the same person.
What does this mean for advocacy, boycotting, and AuDHD? ... 😈
It means that the special interest I have in the game isn't going anywhere, since I've already been playing since early April of last year, and while the removal of my digital werewolf love interest is a stressor, I'M STILL GETTING MY DOPAMINE FROM IT. I get it from the HOPE and CAMARADERIE I feel in the #BringValkoBack #ValkoIsLoved community. I get it from seeing Valko's gorgeous face and hearing his sexy voice from his saved pvs. I get it from seeing the Valko art, edits, memes, and charity causes done in his name. IT. FEEDS. ME. Bitterly, but food is food.
So, tl;dr? BUCKLE UP, BUTTERCUP! I CAN KEEP GOING 'TIL CHRISTMAS AND BEYOND IF I HAVE TO! AWOOOOOO!

Nos prometiste a un personaje nuevo para el 9 de julio. Viste problemas y lanzaste un comunicado acerca de que la línea se mantenía y Valko saldría porque era parte importante de la historia.
Y luego, un simple día rompiste tu promesa y te hiciste a un lado.
Desde entonces nos ignoras, nos has dejado relegadas, sin comunicación, sin Valko, sin promesas, sin palabra, sin nada.
No tienes siquiera la decencia de respondernos a nosotras tus usuarias, a todas aquellas que creímos en ti, y salvamos tu pellejo en varias ocasiones.
Estoy bastante molesta, y extrañamente aún sigo esperando algo de ti, como si no hubieras hecho más que suficiente.
No todo está perdido, aún puedes salvar la poca confianza que nos queda a las empresas chinas.
Libera al lobo dentro del juego, es todo.
Si nos das al lobo, esto quedaría con una marca para siempre, pero de alguna manera sabríamos restaurara confianza y eventualmente podríamos volver a confiar.
Sólo queremos al lobo, con su mismo diseño y personalidad. No es tan complicado.

This is it. Not only does it set a bad precedent in our game, it sets a bad precedent IN THE INDUSTRY.
THIS is why we need to care about #BringValkoBack. But unfortunately there are people who think standing up for your consumer rights is somehow betraying their LI
