I was trying to be hopeful, and I think part of me was still in a heavy state of denial throughout this whole experience. The "coming soon" has officially been removed from the love interest selection screen.
I understand there is a lot more going on than what meets the eye. This is more than infold just "ignoring us" because they are under heavy fire right now not only from fans but from their own government. In that sense, I doubt they are able to be on social media the way they were before this entire smear campaign ruined LaDs image.
But let's be real, Infold gave them everything they needed for that campaign to succeed. And then still had the audacity to kneel when enough pressure was forced down upon them.
I have not logged into Love and Deepspace since the "message to all players" notice was posted on their socials. I am someone who has been playing this game for nearly 2 years - I am just a week shy of my 2 year anniversary - and over these two years I think I have only missed logging in a total of 5 times. It's upsetting to see a game I have dedicated so much time and money into just... burst into flames?
Especially since I truly love the characters they created - despite all of the games very obvious flaws. Not only with farming and updates, but with their blatant ignorance in the color selection for darker skinned players and the shadow and lighting issues for darker skinned players.
I hope those of you who wanted Valko removed are very happy with this outcome. Because you have truly ruined the game, perhaps all Otome games in general because they are cracking down so severely not just on LaDs but on censorship overall.
It is very likely we will never get another spicy banner or secret time. I mean they are already fucking with the rerun schedule, they skipped no defense zone and misty invasion and leapt to wander in wonder??
Gee I wonder why... I hope all you "we won!" people are happy with your fucking prizes. Dumb asses, was this really worth it?
If this is truly our outcome moving forward, the game is ruined. The main story is fucked, the plot is all screwed up, they can't even run their rerun schedule the way they were supposed to, and now all we got is this fucking 3000 gb house no one asked for. You sure won alright.
I'm being so pessimistic rn y'all but I'm so fucking pissed, we should be getting Valko tomorrow. We should be getting new poses, new interactions, a new main story branch. We should be getting a free four star, free five star, free diamonds, free crates with new myths. Instead we're getting the biggest fucking nothing burger update.
