iāll preface this by saying i have never played lads and iāve never followed it or the fandom closely at all up until valko got announced initially, so i donāt really know anything about the discussions that have gone on within the fandom
but with all that being saidā¦ if infold genuinely HAD to do something about valkoās releaseā¦. could they not have justā¦.. delayed it..?
like from my understanding the hate surrounding valko wasnāt exclusively just cause āheās uglyā but because apparently other liās (namely caleb and sylus) were getting shoved to the side and it seemed like there wasnāt a good balance of content between the characters, and so infold being like āhey btw thereās a new guy coming too lolā was essentially just the straw that broke the camels back. but with AAALLL that in mind, if infold really did HAVE to do something about valko as a result, why not just delay the release??? was he that disposable?????
especially considering (from what iāve heard again i havenāt played at all) a 6th love interest that would matter to the main story was being teased for a little while so erasing him entirely might just fuck up the story and leave plot holes galore. so like???? why cancel him entirely??????? i donāt get it???????
