BREAK THE SILENCE || The Valko Movement
If we're going to quit a game we spent days, emotion, energy, regulation, and even real-life money onâŠ
LET'S GO DOWN FIGHTING.
This movement is for everyone, not just for Valko. Project Break the Silence is for all our sisters who are done waiting in silence from Infold's negligence.
Becoming a pack member means you agree with:
Quality of life requests will be heard and satisfied.
POC player's will be seen and their gameplay will be improved.
More accessible ways will be added to farm diamonds and cores.
Infold will see to the updates to our operations.
Better scenes/animations for MC, because Infold if Infinity Nikki can look that gorgeous, we expect better.
To be heard and respected by Infold/Papergames as a Global community.
Bring Valko back, and restore all of the content they are actively altering or attempting to scrap.
So join us in breaking their silence!
Still not sure about joining the movement? Lets go over some facts!
In roughly ONE MONTH, this community has already shown what happens when players refuse to stay silent.
LOOK AT WHAT WE'VE DONE: đ Global cost them around an estimated $28 million dollars ($28,000,000) IN JULY REVENUE ALONE.  [source] đ Global cost them about 100,000 followers on Instagram, just shortly after celebrating hitting 1,000,000.  [source] đ Global cost them ~10,000 followers on TikTok đ Global cost them ~40,000 followers on X [source]
And despite all of that, Infold continued to remain silent about Valko's cancellation.
So Global responded differently.
We took the money we could have spent in-game and put it toward something GOOD.
đș WOLF CONSERVATION! Through the Lunarmizuki's Valko campaign, supporters donated upwards of $30,000 to the Wolf Conservation Center! [source] And that's not all.
More than $20,000 additional was raised for other wolf organizations around the globe. [source] Our anger became conservation. Our disappointment became something that will survive. And then.. the movement became INTERNATIONAL. Â
℠China: Fans created a massive crowdfunding pool exceeding $42,000, funding LED advertisements and even humanitarian food relief carried out under Valko's name.  [source1] [source2]
â„ Malaysia and Singapore: Localized fundraising efforts raised approximately $1,500â$3,000 PER CITY to secure multi-day advertising placements in high-traffic locations, including Somerset MRT and The Hill of Stars.  [source]
â„ New York City: Dozens of supporters worked together to bypass thousands of dollars in agency fees and strategically purchased individual 15-second advertising slots for roughly $35â$40 each. [source]* And our story didn't stop with our own fandom.. WE BECAME A TIDAL WAVE.
đ THE GLOBAL OTOME COMMUNITY:
Players across the Western and international otome community spoke out in defense of Valko.
The #BringValkoBack petition surpassed 300,000 signatures, while supporters organized protests, Anime Expo actions, and additional international advertising campaigns including a fanservice for the memorial of Valko with hopes high Infold brought him back. [source]
đČ THE GENERAL GACHA COMMUNITY:
The discussion spread beyond Love and Deepspace, reaching the wider gacha community and sparking conversations about corporate accountability, player treatment, and what can happen when a company underestimates the people funding its success. Starting fires in the r/gotchagaming subreddit and taking off, this fandom spoke up about the cancellation and brought it to light as a historical event which could easily be the downfall of a whole corporation simply due to fan pressure. [source1] [source2] [source3] [source4]
Niyeko, A prominent otome and gotcha content creator extensively covered the official cancellation statement and became a vital voice to analyze Infold. [source]
Ironmouse and CDawgVA used their Anime Expo platforms to speak about the situation and rally their audiences, demanding for the return of Valko. [source]
BNNO$ joined the movement by literally cosplaying Valko himself, bringing an entirely different audience into the conversation along with the popular MC coser, Stella Chu. Both using their voices to bring awareness to the unjust deletion of Valko. [source]
.. And even CaseOh, of all people, was pulled into the fold. He flat-out called Infold's decision to delete Valko "messed up," defended the character against the people attacking his design, and encouraged Infold to release him. [source]
