DAY TWO UPDATES
there have been numerous updates in the last twenty four hours. so many screenshots that have been getting shared. i still have yet to sort through them all but ive been taking screenshots and drafting posts, bookmarking.
i think of the biggest things i’ve seen for global fans to consider as we continue waiting out:
- CN fans in support of valko are doing as much as they can to keep us up to date. the consensus is too keep making noise!
- there is some talk about stopping the low rates on the game as the low rates could lead to the game being removed from platforms completely. and could have a negative effect in what fans are hoping for with the moves infold is making due to the legal issues
- this one i’m a bit confused on which could be due to mistranslation. CN fans are encouraging that we continue to log in daily even if we’re not paying to show support for valko as not logging in could be used as fuel for those who used this tactic against valko.
- Infold/PPG is looking to move their headquarters outside of mainland China. this move would possibly allow them to release valko. however because of the 731 claims, it is very iffy because operating outside the country doesn’t remove the company from laws and policies entirely.
- fans are planning a blackout day on july 9th. no logging in on the app.
- there are screenshots of some fans claiming they intentionally used the 731 case even though they didn’t really care (?)
- it looks like the taiwan love and deepspace youtube channel unarchived valko related content
there are lots of screenshots continuing to be spread. remember to take everything with a grain of salt. there’s no current answer to what’s right or wrong, but continue to stay updated and fight!
i’ll continue to update as much as i can as well! a lot of the info i’m finding is off of twitter/x and threads.
r/loveanddeepspace mods deleting every post about valko like thats going to fix anything
crazy work tbh
The way everything escalated is honestly fucking crazy. It’s like watching a trainwreck, you can see it getting worse second by second, but it’s already too far gone to stop. I’m actually kind of curious how it’s all going to end, because at this point, I can’t see any good outcome.
Also, watching how quickly people turned on each other and how many ended up being so hostile, aggressive, and outright awful to one another is really alarming. There’s been so much arguing, insults flying everywhere, and slurs being used on both sides(!). At some point, it stopped being about the all those issues entirely and just became this cycle of hatred feeding itself.
And yeah, it’s normal to care about a game you like or a community you’re in. That part makes sense. But the way some people get so obsessive about it that it turns toxic and downright nasty is just really uncomfortable to observe.
mostly in response to the meme lol (although very much agree with points op listed!)
it is crazy to think this was the result of the unhappy CN fans (again not all) who were so upset they went and bombed the entire release plans by involving the govt. which from what i’ve seen the chinese govt made some statements about how otome games are part of the cause to low birth rates in china. but my thought process was how is this going to ripple out and affect other otome games. like if that is the govt response on it you can’t think they’re only going to target love and deepspace and then not start considering all other otome games. which in hindsight is kind of funny because if it does become a domino effect where other big otome games in china start getting cracked down on - it will literally become those who started this ruined it for everyone. and then everyone loses out and then what? you still don’t get what you wanted. there was absolutely no critical thinking skill here by those who started this on top of the cn fans who are going around saying they latched onto the 731 premise and it not being an actual concern so that they could justify their tantrum
Alright guys. New day new (alleged) information.
In some of the LADS circles I run in on socials, a little thing has been circling. PaperGames is allegedly trying to get out of being based in the country they are now to prevent the government from meddling.
Continue fighting guys. There may be hope yet. If there’s any. Updates I’ll let you know 🫡

for those keeping up and diving into CN community sides and servers just wanted to share this as one OF MANY posts showing the CN fans who are in support of valko and bringing him home. this felt encouraging to me and lifted my mood a bit to know especially because they’re trying to keep us up to date too.
if you have been keeping up i know there have been plenty of screenshots and translations showing the racist, homophobic, misogynistic, and offensive comments from others. but let’s remember not to generalize the entire CN community - that’s not any better than what the loud offensive ones have been doing.
a reminder that it was due to the chinese holiday that many CN fans who were in support of valko didn’t speak up yesterday (timezone diff) in fear of backlash and consequences. but they are also making movements now so let’s continue the noise and fight! i’m coming across many screenshots and links and will continue to share as i sort through them!
mmm CN girlies making their moves and starts voicing out too.
literal depression waking up this morning but keep fighting the good fight and making noise guys. if you haven’t signed petitions yet go and sign! some people are using multiple emails. whatever yo get the number. many people are also unfollowing official accounts. not logging in. they’re numbers are dropping!
users on threads look to be moving a lot faster with updates and research so if you want to stay in the know or surround in positive fighting energy head there!
if you’re a vip player you can message your vip handler. there’s so much going on but people are still fighting! perseverance is what we need. remember they fought for 7 days to get him removed. i’ll share some screenshots later when im able to organize things better!
Finding out that to get to CN’s basic VIP threshold is $600 feels like a slap in the face. They keep saying global is poor bcs we didn’t contribute much but in reality WE pay more than them to get to the basic VIP tier. Almost 2x-3x the amount they spend on the game and they dare call US poor? SCREW YOU
if this is true this is foul actually
valko trauma center check in. been going through it all day. im a solid 1 and 9 right now.
can someone get us a hookup to the abandoned valko devs. because if infold doesnt come out saying this is a joke. i will pay the abandoned devs to tell us about valko. idk how does the legal trademarks and copyright stuff work. does it still apply here if they havent released anything because in all technicality we weren’t given anything so like they can cut plans of valko but doesnt mean it has to end here

grief is real! but so is love. idk keep making edits, reels, videos, fanart, writing. literally anything. we already got a taste of valko. infold saying no right now doesn’t mean we have to give up valko completely. we can honor the devs and those who wanted his true execution by creating in our own ways.
the world is literally your oyster at this point if infold doesn’t come out saying this is a publicity stunt or prank. make your own lore and headcanons. i know fans are talented enough to make whole ass animation of our bby boy. don’t let the grief overtake you!
can i also just say that infolds decision on keeping as little known about valko, possibly rushing his announcement and reveal is probably due to the fucking trauma, ptsd, and anxiety over what happened with sylus being leaked??? because i remember when that happened how heartbroken they were to then have to rush sylus release. SO honestly incomplete and rushed decisions on infolds end isn’t completely their fault. everyone knew caleb would be an interest at some point. but the risk of having valko leaked was possibly what they were worried about if claims about that being part of the problem is true.
WHICH can you honestly fault them for that? preparing to earnestly release a character that you’ve put so much care, time, hard work and love into just to have the final reveal snatched away from you. from how you wanted to present him and have him received LIKE YEAH ID BE UPSET TOO
so i don’t completely blame the devs if they had major influence over how his initial introduction was revealed.
VALKO CANCELLATION SUMMARY
this is a moment when AI can come in handy. not all fact checked but from all the posts i’ve seen going around regarding official infold announcement and unofficial claims, etc etc it mostly lines up with this summary for anyone just waking up. rip. we can cry while staying loud.
it’s devastating to see how the hard work of the valko team was just completely wiped out. i just hope the devs and artists got compensated properly for their time. it’s so unfair that front-line staff always have to suffer the consequences of terrible decisions made by upper management :(((
exactly this. if this is truly from devs. like regardless of how much money the cn players contribute (half hearted bec i probably can’t even comprehend the true amount) does that money spent actually compensate the time, efforts, and resources that were already committed and invested into developing valko and everything intertwined? the game and plot line was always made with six leads in mind i just don’t see it from the pov of truly being able to accept the loss over something that could be fixed rather than completely trashed. so the political and legal issues like - maybe it’ll take time for the fight to be fought to keep valko and not completely scrap him. because why else wouldn’t they remove what’s already on official channels related to valko?
aside from the devs there’s so many people who likely lost their jobs over this BECAUSE infold literally stated there’d be no more characters period. all i’m saying i they probably went to that extreme because of how upset they are too. fans can’t demand cancelling an ENTIRE character who’s been in development for years(?) and then ask for something new after getting their way.
i found something on twt. a chinese player shared it. either way, take it with a grain of salt !!
"im a low-level artist on the project team. the entire character design and pv (promotional video) for the new male lead were completed six months ago. we held meetings three times to warn upper management that dropping a character out of nowhere with zero pre-hype would definitely infuriate veteran players. we suggested extending the promotion period and balancing the content production for the old characters, but everything was rejected by management. the higher-ups only care about traffic and financing. they can't wait for players to argue their way onto the trending searches to boost popularity.
they deliberately suppressed the storyline resources of the five original male leads to pile everything onto the new character, completely disregarding the feelings of long-time paying players. everyone at the grassroots level clearly knew that this plan would ruin the game's reputation, but nobody listened to front-line opinions. the current mess of net-wide boycotts is entirely a self-inflicted result of management's shortsightedness and greed."

Question: Do you think going to all the content that is still up about Valko and watching/listening/interacting with it could help show how much we want him in the game?
honestly this is not a bad idea like just spam the comments and increase all the views on all valko related videos, reels, etc. basically just don’t shut up about how much WE DO want valko
