The game feels kinda dead now 😞

I knew not to expect much on 29th, especially after what happened on 9th July, but I must admit; I was still hopeful.

That hope just got shattered again. I am not being pessimistic (or maybe I am) but I do believe Valko will be introduced; not now but definitely later on. Because from a logical and financial point of view, it would be a waste to not realease a 3D character that they have put so much resources and done so much marketing of. So yeah, he will come back, but it will definitely take time. Now my only fear is that they will reintroduce him as a Special Encounter like Shaw. That's because maybe they won't want to invest in Valko any further than they already have.

And that's the reason I am fighting for. But tbh I am tired now. That's why I took off a rest from socials.

I would say now that we have to be practical now. I don't know what Inflod is going through, andI don't really think that can be an excuse for the no-contact policy that Inflod as applied.

They way I would like to think about is, is that Inflod is definitely in survival mode. Survive this, and hope for the voices to get down. Voices from both the side mind u. Because I saw that some mod or smo on discord posted smt about Valko, and some ppl got crazy (feel free to put more clarity into this situation, I don't exactly know what happened). I am grateful for being on the positive and loving part of the fandom for most of the time, but the crazy, parasocial haters do still exist. That's why Inflod is trying to cater to none to keep itself safe.

It's cowardly really, becuz I still remember how Inflod released that Baby cap when people said Rafayel was not masculine because MC held him in her arms in that beach banner. What happened to the inflod fighting back.

The fact that they kinda also bombed another of their unrivaled game Infinity Nikki, is really crazy to me how can a company this huge and this wealthy chop down it's own leg twice like this.

I was recently seeing this one video essay about live and deepspace (out of the many countless ones), and I realised it is crazy how Inflod's FOMO and "Emotionally Invest the Fans" model backfired them so bad. I guess I am not immune to this as well. That's why I am glad that I have been a F2P since day one.

I am mad for all those people who financial contributed to this game, and to all those to keep this fandom alive by making art, edits and what not. Because it seems like the promotion and leverage that they provide to Inflod is not be acknowledged.

I am very proud of this community that chose love to fight for Valko with and I am glad I am witnessing it, but is Inflod really gonna sit quietly and do nothing.

I wasn't a 6th LI believer but I didn't get mad at Valko being released. I was like "Mhm, I guess that's nice, more gems for me" Why some people couldn't comprehend his importance in main story and why did they have to make Valko a scape goat in this larger scheme of things where Inflod actually sucks.

I logged in to the game because I miss and love Zayne. I tired the house update and it felt so overwhelming to see all those levels and tasks for levelling in kitchen. Also, I felt a weird dread when I was using the dine feature. It felt so surreally weird. It made me wonder "This really is the update Inflod realsed huh"

The game (at least to me) feels like a shell of itself. I think with Rafayel's myth the game will get some revenue increase. Though I would like it if won't; but I know how it feels to fight for a game that to love while also missing your bias, so I won't blame any Rafayel girlies if they decide to pull for him. But I would just request if you can, to spend less money than you guys usually would. Not because of the boycott but also because of the fact that Inflod definitely doesn't have enough sense or care to address the current crisis it's going through, to the fandom and literally throws money at it's feet. Again, do what you want to do but just know your money could be put in a better use.

Anyways I know this fight is a marathon and we have to do it so that few loud and toxic people don't twist the game into a nothing burger. LADS is a complex game with complex characters and story line, and I will always stand by the fact that Inflod do genuinely know how to make a good game, but for God's sake don't know how to listen to their fans.

All in all, take care and please take rest. Drink water and go offline if possible.

Valko loves you all

AWWOOOOO! 🐺
