No because what the actual fuck was that decision?
You mean to tell me months—if not YEARS—of development.
…and your solution was to throw the ENTIRE SIXTH LOVE INTEREST into the trash?
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
I'm not saying people shouldn't have been angry about the 731 reference. They absolutely had every right to be. Unit 731 is one of the darkest chapters in history and if that reference was made carelessly, then yes, people deserved an apology and an explanation.
But explain to me how Valko became the sacrificial lamb here.
Who exactly does this help?
The people who were hurt by the reference? They still deserve accountability.
The people who were excited for Valko? Congratulations, you just told them to go fuck themselves.
The developers who spent who knows how long creating an entirely new LI? Their work gets deleted overnight.
So what was the goal here?
Because this doesn't feel like taking responsibility. It feels like corporate damage control.
Fix the story.
Rewrite the chapter.
Delete the offending reference.
Delay the release.
Fire whoever thought using 731 and 611 was acceptable if you have to.
But deleting an ENTIRE CHARACTER because of a mistake in ONE PART OF THE GAME is such an absurd overreaction that I genuinely can't wrap my head around it.
I'm just so unbelievably disappointed. because Infold's response was somehow even worse than the original mistake.
We lost a character.
The developers lost their work.
The fandom lost something people had been excited about.
What an absolute fucking waste.

Can I just say looking through the LADS tag on tumblr and SOME OF YA’LL are insane.
I get loving a character, I get self shipping, I consume so much “x reader” content. But this level of delusion? And getting so mad over shipping? A thing that has been around longer than a quarter of you?
You can’t get actually mad when people ship “your husband” with someone else. He’s not real. Characters in fandoms are like Barbie’s at this point. And if I want to make Ken kiss Yasmin from Bratz, then he’s gonna.
Who gives a damn if people make a OC instead of an MC? “The MC is just supposed to be you! You can’t separate the two, or be attracted to her!”Babe, I ain’t doing and saying half of the stuff the MC does. I wouldn’t be dating my brother, my cardiologist, my boss, A CRIMINAL, etc. nor be making half of the decisions she makes. And again, some people make OC’s instead. And last but not least, you’re on tumblr, A GOOD CHUNK OF THE PEOPLE ON HERE ARE QUEER AND ARE PROBABLY ATTRACT TO WOMEN IN SOME CAPACITY.
We could still save Valko. The comments on their Instagram posts are filled entirely with people who are outraged but this decision to remove him.
Leave one star reviews on the App Store demanding he be returned.
Spread the hashtags #savevalko #bringbackvalko #wewantvalko
Leave complaints in customer service in the app
Request that he be released on global servers only if need be.
Apparently there are even cn girls on red note that are furious about this decision.
I have deleted the app and left plenty of comments in their comment section as well as left dm’s in their social media accounts.
Let’s all get active about this!!! We can’t let Infold do this!!! It’s is completely unfair to us global players who have been so excited for his release!

Inaccurate depiction of witchcraft and rituals (sorry to the practitioners on here!)
unforseen consequences [though not here]
It was like a nightmare. A terrible, terrible joke.
You remembered how you marked your calender, striking each day that brought you closer your 4-eared man like it was christmas.
You remembered whining about the wait time still being over a week long and yet giggling in anticipation of his big debut. Admiring his seemingly nerdier side and how your mind wandered to the thought of what his special cards would be like especially with the wolf thing he had going on...dear god...
You remember feeling it all crumble into dust before you. Just like that, your Valko was gone for good.
Between the celebration from his haters and the petitions by his admirers, it was all static noise to you. He was yours and nothing could stop that. You would get him back.
It didn't speak too kindly on your mental state, seeing how quickly you determined to leave everything for "a bunch of pixels"...but your brain only ran on one track, one where your final stop would take you to him again.
First you tried shifting, with little result. You'd get soo close...but then you'd open your eyes too early or you'd get distracted and the frustration piled up with every failed attempt.
Then you tried to add yourself to the game with a suspicious "brain chip", you were certain was a scam.
To your surprise, it works perfectly in the demo. Extracting another character and placing them in your laptop...however the fee was ridiculous and not amount of desperation or begging or borrowing or loans could pay it, the demo alone had hurt your wallet massively which foolishly led you to believe you'd actually bought the chip.
Next was lucid dreaming...then meditation...then manifestion...nothing worked.
Finally you landed on straight up witchcraft. You'd laid the candles, burned your sage, even drew the pentagram with your blood for hopefully better result. The instructions said to write your heart's desire on paper, burn it and mix the ashes with water then drink all whilst sitting in the pentagram.
It'd been hard to get it all down without throwing up due to just how big your paper was...but you did it anyway.
Yet all that came after was silence..
You felt your eyes begin to twitch at another failed attempt and flew into another fit, throwing and smashing all that was within reach, shrieking and alarming your neighbours for possibly the 5th time this week, and it was tuesday.
Soon you collspsed into the ground, crying yourself to sleep whilst your own hand caressed your face, wishing it was his.
Your dreams grant you a momentary relief before streams of sunlight wake you up against your will. You'd been just about to hug him when the rays came like fire behind your eyelids.
One red-rimmed eye flies open as if to glare at the sun...when you remember you were curled on the floor...in the corner of your room, away from anywhere the sun should reach in your room the sun..how could it...
That wasn't your curtain.
Sitting up, your hands sunk into the soft bed..you weren't on the floor either...
Wiping your eyes comically, you find that—yes— this isn't your room!
Slowly...ever so slowly, you turns to see the man laying by your side, an ear flicking when an insect flies to close.
Your eyes turn glassy before you can control it and you hugged him tightly.
The man stirred, awoken by the tight squeeze, but certainly not complaining.
He grinned at the display and rubbed your back. "Bad dream?" He asked, slightly cocky but visibly concerned.
"Yeah" you said quietly.
"I lost you"
He stayed quiet for a bit before his thumb brushed your cheek.
"Sweetheart.." he said slowly. You heart leaped, remembering it was the petname you wrote.
"You'll never lose me to anything. I'm right here and forever yours, ok?"
He finished, hugging you tighter.
"Ok"
You nodded, dragging your finger along his clavicle, causing a slight shudder to run through him.
Then snuggling further into his chest, you nipped his collar bone, causing the man—who'd already allowed sleep to claim him again— to whine deeply.
"Honey...." he drawled, holding you even tighter, tail wrapping around your thigh as you watched the mark bloom, not red but black with the proof of the ritual still on your tongue. You did it again. Less black. More red at the edges, causing the man to groan whilst you admired your work.
He was right after all. If what you wrote came true, he was no longer just a love interest anyone could pick. He was available to you alone.
He was all yours.
You'd just have to hope the reprecautions to follow would be worth it.
