‼️IMPORTANT UPDATE‼️ I just saw someone post this article on xhs! (Link in comments) Translation: ## Overseas Players Continue to Speak Out: How Can Chinese-Made Games Turn Global Feedback into Content Growth? **July 15, 2026, 14:31** **Source: Zhoukou.com** **Editor: Cai Zi** As of July 15, the main page of an iPetitions campaign calling for the restoration of **Ao Yin’s status as a new romanceable character in *Love and Deepspace*** had recorded **more than 240,000 signatures and 80,000 comments**. At the same time, on Change.org, three major petitions related to Ao Yin had respectively received **96,372, 21,738, and 5,902 signatures**. Two weeks of continued participation across multiple platforms show that the demands of overseas users did not quickly fade after the character’s cancellation. Ao Yin is the **sixth romanceable male lead** announced by *Love and Deepspace* on June 22. He had originally been scheduled to be added to the game in the July 9 update. The development team later announced on June 30 that his release and further development had been cancelled. Following the cancellation, overseas players gradually expanded their actions from petitioning into **fan-created works, charitable donations, and offline activities**. During Anime Expo in Los Angeles, some players created Ao Yin-themed materials, established support areas, and participated in character cosplay. A wildlife conservation organization also previously disclosed that the game’s community had raised **more than US$9,000 for wolf conservation projects in the character’s name**. ## Overseas Demand Continues to Make Itself Visible Unlike the concentrated comments and emotional reactions that appeared during the early stages of the game controversy, overseas players’ actions have now continued beyond the character’s originally scheduled release date. In public comments on the main iPetitions page, some users said that Ao Yin had influenced their willingness to **download the game, return to the game, or continue following it**. Some players also proposed compromise solutions such as **delaying his release or releasing a revised version**. These statements represent the personal views of participants and cannot be directly generalized to all overseas players, but they provide specific leads for future user research. *Love and Deepspace* is not a product that relies primarily on a single market. According to AppMagic estimates, in the first two years after launch, the game generated approximately **US$933.7 million in player spending** on the App Store and Google Play. Around **60% came from the Chinese market**, while the United States and Japan accounted for **13% and 9%**, respectively. More than **40% of spending came from regions outside China**. The game has also previously ranked No. 1 on the App Store best-selling charts in more than 40 countries and regions, and its global downloads have exceeded 80 million. These figures mean that the overseas market is no longer merely an additional distribution channel for domestic content. It has become an important component of *Love and Deepspace*’s **user base, revenue structure, and brand influence**. For a long-term live-service product, differences in how players in different regions respond to characters can also affect future **content scheduling, localization investment, marketing activities, and user retention**.
