Noob “Artist”

I’ll be straight up honest, not seeing Valko in the new update was soul crushing. I knew I shouldn’t have been too optimistic, but I just had so much hope. Also, what made it worst was seeing no response from Infold to the global fans while they made changes to the game without communicating with their fanbase (not even fixing the real issues with the game).

For me, Infold ignoring the outcry has been beyond insulting. I understand there may be things behind the scenes that we don’t know that is forcing their silence, but not even acknowledging our response is insane!

Day after day since Valko’s cancellation, it has been getting more clear to me that this company doesn’t care about their global fanbase. They would rather appease toxic racist players versus a majority of their global fanbase. I’m disgusted and incredibly disappointed. As things are now, I can no longer support this shit show of a game.

I refuse to play Love and Deepshit until they prove they truly care about us, their developers, characters and story. To me, that would be bringing Valko back.

Anyways, this means besides not playing Love and Deepspace, I’ll also be taking a step back and minimizing my involvement in the fandom, because seeing posts about Valko and what could have been is too painful.
