I don’t wanna hear about how “real lads enjoyers” wouldn’t boycott lads.
I’ve been here since Sep2024, spent over 10.5k usd and I LOVE THE GAME AND ALL LIS (main SYLUS)
I am extremely concerned about the future of the game and that’s why I’m boycotting.

while I'm obviously doing all this primarily for Valko, because I know he will be my main, I really think other mains should be standing behind us for the sake of their own game, too. Not only does Valko's cancellation throw off the MS, the stallactrum, take away resource farming opportunities from everyone, and so much more, it also sets a terrible precedent for all global players (and honestly a lot of cn players too).
If at some point a portion of the fandom turns on your main...it only took them 7 days to cancel a project thats likely been in development for years. If fans get to dictate game content more than the dev team, think about what that means for your main. At the very least, this will lead to watered down and sanitized content. Fans everywhere have complained for awhile that they felt cards were getting repetitive and less engaging. But they're never going to give us anything interesting if they can't try anything new without fear of fans loosing their damn minds about it instead of just accepting not every aspect of every character is going to be appealing to everyone.
Not to mention global VIPs individually pay more for our VIP status while being heard less. We already knew this was an issue because global VIPs have been begging for ages for them to fix lighting issues for poc fans and that's never been addressed. But now some bad actors feel like they're not being catered to once and they're immediately appeased with the cancellation of a project that probably cost the company millions in resources to create. In not so many words, PPG said that complaints only matter when they come from certain people.
I understand that people want to see their LIs. I understand that you love this game. So do I. If this was Xavier or Sylus or Zayne I would be acting the same way. Because I refuse to sit idly by and give money to a game so willing to say that my voice doesn't matter.

Here is some complimentary PR for you @Love_Deepspace. All you need to do is say this, mean it, and actually do it:
"We will launch Valko on July 9th. He will be our last LI, allowing us to focus entirely on enhancing the game and developing the LI's stories."
#BRINGBACKVALKO
To piss #that side off he’s also Hispanic and has six older sisters and he’s the youngest and has healthy relationship with his parents and whole family
i genuinely despise how quiet inflop always is when controversies happen, i haven't seen another company take so long to address things and anytime they do they miss the important parts anyway like do you even wanna do this or NOT ?????
#BRINGBACKVALKO
reasons Valko should be brought back (simplified for those who cannot process)
— removing him breaks the integrity of the main story. these narratives are connected. you can't just pull a thread out without unraveling everything around it
— the creative team put real work, real time, real craft into building him. that deserves respect regardless of whether YOU wanted a 6th LI
— the government complaint that supposedly triggered all this not even related to Valko that file number existed months ago
— if certain lines were genuinely concerning (???) CHANGE THE LINES that's what editing is for you don't demolish a house because one window needs replacing
— the players who loved Valko and engaged with his story in good faith deserve to have their voices weighted at LEAST as heavily as the people who organized a hate campaign before he even launched
I'm literally saving every picture of Valko from my timeline, they're so precious to me.
They might be able stop his release but they'll never take him completely away from us.

Ya'll I am BEGGING you: VERIFY THINGS AS BEST YOU CAN BEFORE YOU POST THEM! At the very LEAST you really should be marking things "UNVERIFIED" or "VERIFIED".
Ya'll are starting to cause a lot of people to panic. We all make mistakes but now I've seen at least 5 posts already.
The way they're trying to paint Infold/PaperGames as some helpless indie game development company that's going to go bankrupt tomorrow because of our boycott... you just have to laugh
