🐺 Here is a list of actionable steps and important points to keep in mind to help support the push to reinstate Valko. I may update this, this is not an exhaustive list. Please remember that NOTHING is definitive yet, and we need to continue a POSITIVE push:
1️⃣ REVIEW FLOOD, NOT REVIEW BOMB:
Instead of leaving angry 1-star reviews in the iOS and play store, update your ratings to 2-3 stars and in your review, say something like "The game quality is great but I'm saving my money specifically for Valko. Permanently canceling him removes my reason to continue to spend".
This shows that you are NOT an anti-bot, and a paying customer that WOULD financially support his release. 1-star angry reviews are usually just removed en masse!
2️⃣ USE SAFE LANGUAGE - DO NOT ATTACK ANYONE OR ANY ENTITY AND BE RESPECTFUL:
Don't attack the devs, reference politics, other regions, or players in your posts, instead focus on the quality of the game, narrative, and how this game and character is a vehicle for connection to Chinese media and culture. You can send emails and customer support tickets and say stuff like: "We support the studio's safety, but want the original high quality story, content, and the 6 love interests as planned".
This is all really unfair and upsetting, but anti-bots can easily use our upset to fuel the fire and controversy even worse, by circulating any negative or aggressive sentiments towards the devs, politics, and the CN side overall to sow further division.
3️⃣ KEEP USING THE HASHTAGS, DISCUSSIONS, FANART, AND BE POSITIVE ABOUT THEIR IMPACT:
We've already seen how much our efforts have changed public opinion, encouraged a vast amount of CN players to openly speak out and join our efforts, and have already changed the decision from a "no" to being uncertain with silence, which is a HUGE step. Even popular streamers have shared their support in this movement, and now on the CN side AND globally we are all making it clear how much we love and want this character, what they mean to us, and they are still WATCHING.
4️⃣ SHOW THAT YOU WILL FINANCIALLY SUPPORT VALKO'S DEBUT:
We all know that money talks, that's really what matters most, but global revenue IS still a large percentage of it. Even many CN players that are heavy spenders are boycotting. Gacha companies like this look at future revenue projections, so be positive but share in posts and reviews that you're only saving for Valko's release, myths, and want to financially support this character.
🐺 NOTE: YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO BOYCOTT! Don't spend any more money on this game, but be positive and make clear you will with Valko's release. We want to support the game with this character as originally planned!
There are many fair criticisms about how things have been handled, and developed to this point, I'm not saying to make excuses for any of it or blindly defend anyone. However, public opinion MATTERS, its how things even got to this point. But we can also continue to CHANGE public opinion, and that is the support and leverage Infold needs to justify Valko's release.
Right now, Infold/Papergames likely cannot do or say much because everything is so fresh and still developing, even reaching the point where Shanghai police have had to get involved for the studio's safety. It will probably risk reigniting anti-bot movements and its probably for safety risks atm. Things didn't need to get this bad, but now they have to navigate all of this carefully, and they ARE watching.
Canceling Valko's release is a tremendous financial loss, in addition to boycott responses. They likely WANT to do so, but need a little time and the leverage of global public opinion. Keep helping our CN sisters, and expressing the above points!
Please take breaks as needed. It's ok to be upset or even feel done with this. 🫂
