@mmmbxd2 @JayShan0506 因为他们还想给这个游戏一次机会,你不懂吗?你自己也是中国人啊,你不懂吗?如果他们这些媒体真的大肆地宣传731的事情,你觉得这家游戏公司还有活路吗?想保你一命,你自己还上赶着要送了。

I'm a CN player. I'm a Caleb stan. And I'm done being polite about this.
You don't get to call an entire player base racist while knowing absolutely nothing about what actually happened. So sit down and read.
CN players didn't wake up one morning and decide to cancel a character because of his skin color. We spent 500+ days waiting for main story updates that never came. We watched the company fail to deliver content for five existing characters while announcing a sixth — breaking an explicit promise of "no new love interests." In 2025, Love and Deepspace ranked #1 on China's largest consumer complaint platform with 3,406 cases about unequal resource distribution. This rage was years in the making. Valko was the last straw, not the cause.
Then we found a drug experimentation record inside the game numbered 0731. If that means nothing to you, that's your ignorance, not our problem. Unit 731 was a Japanese military program that conducted live human experiments — vivisections, biological warfare, forced infections — on thousands of Chinese civilians and POWs during WWII. The in-game record included the name 严颂, a phonetic match to Japanese researchers from the unit, within a full narrative of injection protocols, endurance testing, and forced mental control. Players reported this through customer service when it first launched. It was ignored. The company later called it "a random placeholder number." Six state media systems, a national think tank, and a prosecutor's office publicly called that a lie.
Now let me tell you why you had no idea about any of this.
The company deliberately gutted every trace of Chinese identity from your version of the game. Chinese New Year's Eve was deleted from the script. The Lantern Festival greeting was removed across every language version — Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean — while the holiday imagery was kept, proving it was a deliberate directive, not a translation choice. Mid-Autumn Festival was renamed to a fictional name. Christmas and Halloween? Kept their real names. Chinese text was manually redrawn out of cutscene animations. Chinese food was erased from date scenes — four date menus, zero Chinese dishes, in a game made by a Chinese company. A calligraphy illustration had its Chinese characters scrubbed for international release. A government-backed collaboration promoting Chinese sports culture at the Asian Winter Games was posted three times domestically and zero times on any international channel.
You were handed a product that was systematically stripped of its origin. And now you have the audacity to tell us our concerns don't matter — while consuming a game built on Chinese players' money and Chinese creators' labor.
The apology letter you received was also different from ours. Your version said "we weren't ready to introduce Valko." Our version acknowledged broken promises, failed content delivery, and systemic trust collapse. Same company, same decision, two completely different explanations — designed so that you'd blame us instead of them. And it worked. Here you are, calling us racist, while the company that lied to both of us watches from the sidelines.
And let me be absolutely clear about where things stand right now. This is no longer a player dispute. This is no longer about your feelings or ours. The Chinese government has taken notice. As of today, state media outlets at every level — from central party organs to provincial papers, from the national women's federation to the legal system — have published critical coverage demanding accountability. A prosecutor's office has issued a formal legal characterization of the game's content as violating regulations on public morality and national sentiment. State media are calling for the company to undergo "fundamental reform." Whether this company can survive what comes next is an open question.
Your anger in our comment sections changes nothing. The character was not cancelled because of tweets or Reddit threads. It was cancelled because institutional power stepped in. And that same institutional power is still escalating, not retreating. You are screaming at the wrong people about a situation you fundamentally do not control and do not understand.
So no. We are not "xenophobic" for refusing to let a company monetize our historical trauma. We are not throwing "toddler tantrums" for demanding accountability after 500 days of broken promises. And we are certainly not going to apologize for defending a position that our own government, our own judiciary, and our own national media have now publicly endorsed.
You want to be angry? Be angry at the company that decided you didn't deserve the truth.
Or don't. But understand this: your ignorance was manufactured, your outrage was engineered, and the people you're defending don't even respect you enough to tell you the same story they told us.
One last thing. Before you reply, ask yourself whether you can dispute a single fact in this post — not with feelings, not with "well I don't care about 731," not with "China is racist" — but with a single verifiable fact that proves anything I said is wrong. If you can't, then you don't have a counterargument. You have a reaction. And reactions don't change reality.
Every claim above is backed by public data, official media coverage, in-game evidence, and documented company behavior. If you choose to ignore all of it because it's easier to blame Chinese players than to confront what this company did to all of us, that's your choice. But don't mistake your comfort for the truth.

@TTVCandiiBabe @JayShan0506 "I noticed that among the 100 Chinese media outlets Chinese players used to pressure Papergames, not a single one mentioned the Unit 731 issue. They were only discussing how the new character was a bit too offensive."
English

@JayShan0506 731 originally tied to Xaviers story. Why no outrage then?
Because the number isnt the issue. Its your hatred for Valko that is

@JayShan0506 Ty for summarizing this. Sadly, the global fanbase still can't understand this. But as you pointed out, they've been fed a different narrative and believe CN player complaints is what cut Valko. It's national policy and politics at play here, which forced Infold's hand.

@JayShan0506 It simply makes no sense at all that the company would suddenly change their mind just like that, without all the threats from cn community (the toxic part). Valko deserves more; everyone who worked on him does as well.

@JayShan0506 如果你们不能理解731对于中国民族的冒犯有多严重,试想你是一个美国人,游戏剧情用911来描述恐怖分子袭击情节呢?你们觉得这么严肃且悲痛的日子适合被拿来娱乐大众吗??这就是为什么这个游戏在中国会被抵制

@Mishicorita666 @AndreandCrypto "It's business as usual for them. They previously boycotted a 'Dahlia' character using the 'Black Dahlia' case, even though Americans didn't care and only Chinese players made a fuss. Now, they're just using it as leverage against the devs. The issue appeared in April

@AndreandCrypto Métete tu explicación y excusa por el culo. Están locas, nos arruinaron la experiencia a todas, y boicotearon cientos de horas de trabajo a los DEVS.
Pinches chinas pendejas.

As a Chinese server player of Love and Deepspace, I noticed that many overseas players may have misunderstood the recent controversy. I would like to explain the context calmly and respectfully here! I come in peace!

@AndreandCrypto You're talking about the scars of the nation when the Infold mentions "731". According to this logic it's forbidden to make movies, write literature, and mention the WW2 in any way in the media, because the Germans committed atrocities?

A Letter to All Players
Dear Miss Hunters,
We sincerely apologize for reaching out once again. Over the past several days, our team has been closely following your conversations and feedback across all platforms. For the issues that have surfaced since the announcement of Version 6.0—and the frustration these have caused our community—we want to clearly state: we are sorry.
As we've expressed before, our vision for Love and Deepspace has always been to build a world that grows alongside you—one that offers a richer, deeper sense of companionship over time.
As various issues have arisen in recent days, we have moved quickly to make the necessary adjustments. After reflecting on recent events, we recognize that we moved forward with the introduction of Valko before we were truly ready. In doing so, we let down the players who have supported us from the start, and we also fell short of delivering the experience that players anticipating Valko deserved. After extensive internal discussions, we have decided to make the following changes:
1. We have decided to cancel both the launch and any further development of the new love interest. We also commit that no additional love interests will be introduced in future content plans.
2. All other in-game systems and features originally scheduled for Version 6.0—including Home 2.0 and AR Photobooth—as well as the limited-time Selectable 5-Star Memory Rate-Up Event, will proceed as planned. The outfits, photo poses and scenes, and the Nighthush Box (the second-anniversary 4-Star Memory Selection Crate) originally planned as rewards for the Hunt in Linkon event will instead be sent to all players for free via in-game mail after the version update.
3. Going forward, the entire team will focus on further developing the stories and long-term companionship experiences of our five existing love interests, while ensuring a stable pace of Main Story production and updates. Rafayel's new Solar-Slot Memories and Companion will be revealed in July. Farspace Colonel Caleb and Onychinus Leader Sylus will also return in their Main Story branches in September and November, respectively. By participating in the relevant events, players will be able to obtain the corresponding 5-Star Main Story Branch Memories for free. We will continue to devote all our care and effort to bringing you richer stories and game experiences.
4. Beginning today and continuing for 30 days, players who log in each day will receive one Deepspace Wish via in-game mail. Each mail will remain claimable for three days, for a total of 30 Deepspace Wishes. We hope this can offer some compensation for the disappointment and disruption caused by these adjustments.
To our community: once again, we apologize. Because of our actions, the joy you should have found in Linkon City became a source of distress, and the feelings you hold most dear were hurt. We are deeply sorry for the hurt and disappointment we have caused.
Love and Deepspace has always been about sharing love with you and protecting the love we all hold dear. That purpose has never wavered. Every step forward taken by the love interests and Linkon City—from its beginnings to where it stands today—has been shaped by your feedback, your passion, and your trust. It is your presence, care, and companionship that give this world its meaning, and us the strength and direction to move forward.
Over the past two and a half years, we've shared moments of joy and gratitude, as well as challenges and difficult times. Through every late night devoted to making this world better, it has been the moments you've shared in Linkon City—and the love and passion behind them—that have kept us going. We hope to continue walking this road with you, building a world where love can take root, grow, and bloom.
Going forward, we will work harder, listen more carefully, and do our utmost to honor the trust you have placed in us. We will stay focused on delivering the experience you deserve—one filled with love where every moment in Linkon City can once again become a joyful and treasured memory.
Linkon City will always be here for you.
Thank you—for your trust, your honest feedback and encouragement, and for being with us every step of the way. Your companionship has helped light the path ahead, and your faith in us has given meaning to every effort we make. Thank you for your love throughout this journey. It gives us the courage to keep moving forward. We hope to repay that love with even more and even better content in the days to come.

@zoeisabel23 @Smashix3 @Love_Deepspace but overseas, the devs are pushing it as a title for all sexual orientations. This has really pissed off the Chinese player base. In response, they've mobilized the 105 media outlets they control to put massive pressure on the developers.
English

@zoeisabel23 @Smashix3 @Love_Deepspace Straight female players in China aren't fond of the new character. They feel she isn't attractive enough and that she's taking away screen time from the older characters. On top of that, the official Chinese marketing has always positioned this as a female-oriented game,

当我的好伙伴第一次对我说他谈了一个高中休学的女朋友的时候,我是一脸震惊的
因为这很简单:一个已经成年了在工作的男生,在小红书上找到了一位未成年的女生,聊了几句,发现对方有精神照料上的特殊需求,于是就答应了
而且他们在这之前甚至都不知道彼此的年龄
但是在真正接触之后,我发现并不是这样的
因为他还是我认识的那样,并没有改变过自己的性格,而是用一个几乎不动的人格,接住对方在情绪暴风雪涌来时候的无助
而更让我深感意外和触动的,是这个原本在我预设里“需要被单方面拯救”的女孩本身
在与她交流后,我发现她身上有着一种极其罕见且清醒的自我认知:
她并没有沉溺在破碎的叙事里,而是像一个冷静的旁观者一样,非常清楚地知道自己的心理状态处于什么位置,坦然接纳自己当下的特殊需求
她也会在自己情绪崩溃的时候和我的好朋友明确提出需求,并且表明自己是需要陪伴,还是自己安静一会儿
我朋友他也愿意照做
最让我震动的,是今天得知她停下决心停药的这个决定
其实我一开始的建议是缓慢地往下减的,因为这是一般来说的正常操作
但听她说吃药会让她陷入更长时间的不舒服之后,我还是决定不再阻止她
面对药物戒断带来的那种几乎是生理和心理双重绞杀的惨烈反应,她硬是死死咬牙扛了下来
之所以如此决绝,我猜是因为她不想再被药物模糊掉感知,她渴望重新夺回对自己身体和精神的控制权
她要感受这个世界,哪怕是被痛苦包围
对于未来,她在我的朋友的帮助下,他们两人有着极其清晰的规划
她比任何人都明白,当下的休学只是人生长河里一次必要的喘息与休整。对于自己康复的节奏、接下来学业的衔接、甚至是未来想要走向怎样的生活,我相信她心里早就画好了一张明晰的路线图
在这个故事里,其实根本没有居高临下的救赎
我看到的,只是一个如磐石般稳定的成年人,在默默守护着一颗即使在狂风骤雨中,也依然拼命想要破土而出的、极其坚韧的种子
我朋友之前在和我一起吃饭的时候,说了一句这样的话
「我希望她是我谈的第一个,也是我谈的最后一个」
对此我愿意相信,因为我知道他能做到
我也希望成为你们的见证者
也能让我知道我在做的,我相信的一切
都是有意义的
