I have always enjoyed creating content because i genuinely love the game and the lovely community. My goal has always been to share that passion through art that brings excitement and enjoyment to fellow players.
I was deeply disappointed by the recent announcement. Many players were eagerly looking forward to valko, and the sudden decision has left a large part of the community feeling disheartened. Seeing so many passionate players affected by this has also been difficult for me as a creator, I sincerely hope it gets resolved soon. I truly want to continue creating content that brings positivity.
A/N: Obligatory “fuck you” to infraud. I miss my dog so bad 😭. NSFW is under the cut.
SFW
Valko is but a himbo at heart. No matter how smart people think he is as a genius scientist and brilliant chairman of his own company he turns into a complete idiot for his mate. When in a relationship with him, you will have to stop him from fucking up your entire apartment because he was “curious about the wiring” or accidentally breaking your swing because he had the bright idea to stand up on it. (He is not house trained at all, please do something about it.)
He has a one-sided rivalry with squirrels that the squirrels do not seem to understand. It seems like no matter where he is in the world, squirrels show up out of nowhere to fuck with him (they’re just squirrels 😭). Sure, it might be cute at first but it does start to feel weird after Valko growls at the tenth squirrel to jump out in front of him at the park. If you were to ask him about it, he’d say that the dastardly squirrel race knows that he often makes a fool of himself chasing or growling at them purely on instinctual reflexes during the worst possible times so they show up on purpose. Please believe him.
Do not, under any circumstances, ask this man about any of his interests unless you are ready to lose an hour of your day. When he gets into it he is a YAPPER. You want to know about some obscure video game he plays? He will pull up a timeline of the lore and a spreadsheet of the characters. His favorite food? You will receive an in-depth analysis of what his favorite food is, why he likes it, and which version is the best. At best, it’s cute and endearing, and so hot, to see a guy like him go full nerd mode and tell you everything there is to know about the subject but at worst he will infodump with the worst timing known to man. Like when you tried to initiate some roleplay by sitting in his lap and telling him that you’re in heat and needed him to help you through it only for him to go 🤓☝️ “Um, actually, mating season isn’t for another two weeks.”. You need to invest in a gag for him.
NSFW
He is the munch of all time. He eats it for his own pleasure (he can and WILL cum just from eating his mate out). He gets so messy with it too. This man gets face deep in it, licking, sucking, and sniffing like you’re about to disappear. If you start squirming? He is holding you down by the hips and growling into your pussy. By the time he is finished, you’ll be overstimulated to hell and back and he’ll be sitting there with your cum all over his face wagging his tail like a dog that just got a treat (he did).
Valko has the most intense breeding kink ever. He can’t help it that he’s great with the pups in his pack AND that wanting pups of his own is basically wired into his DNA. Even if he never tells you explicitly, you’re going to know about it once he’s about to cum and whining in your ear about how his knot is going to keep you so full of his babies. Bonus points if he’s in his rut. (you will end up pregnant with quadruplets.)
Please dominate this man, he wants it so bad. The moment you overpower him even slightly in an argument or during a play-fighting match he gets bricked. He fully believes that his only purpose in life is to please his mate so take advantage of that. You don’t even have to be mean to him, just pet his ears or praise him while you ride him and he will cum instantly while he buries his face in your chest.
You were busy absentmindedly gnawing on Valko’s arm like a feral, teething puppy. “Huh–”
Your voice was cut off as he stood up from his chair, turning toward you and picking your body clean off the ground.
“I’m gonna have to put you in air jail now, pup.”
“What?! Val, what are you– c’mon, why?” you flailed in his hold, arms and legs thrashing in the air, but his grip on your waist remained steady, as if you weighed absolutely nothing.
Realizing you weren't going to be put down anytime soon, you resorted to just pouting up at him, your body going completely limp like a doll being held up.
“You know why. You have been very distracting while I’m working.”
You looked down at his well developed arms, finding them littered with blooming red and purple bite marks. The view had the exact opposite effect on you, your cheeks flushed hot, and you practically drooled.
Valko gave you a light shake to snap your focus back to him. “Eyes on me now.”
“Five more minutes of this,” he said, tilting his head. It was the look of a man who was absolutely not playing.
“Then you’ll learn to be better behaved, won’t you?”
i dont think straight people should be allowed to do "enemies to lovers" i think if a man is your enemy you need to trust that you were correct the first time and slay him in battle
1) Valkos introduction had literally no impact on your main & your enjoyment for your main. You chose to make a big fit of it anyway because what? You don’t want the 6th LI? Cool that’s why it’s an otome game and you literally have five other options to choose from. Now you hoed all the women who were excited for valko & already planning to main him. Hoed yourself too without realizing it because:
2) Removing Valko is not a win for anyone, and this will be revealed eventually when plot holes appear- or you live in fear that your main will suddenly be deleted one day too, because what stops that from happening now? Seriously. Any controversy could kill them now, any crazy zayne or Sylus or rafayel main who launches hate campaigns against your LI actually has a chance of succeeding. The 6th LI was ALWAYS supposed to be there from the very beginning, there’s evidence of this in one of the most basic mechanics of the game- stellactrum. Not only are we missing the update to the main story we were promised to get, but now I’ll constantly live in doubt of just what fucking plot holes exist in the game now that a long-existent factor— Valko— is gone. The whole MS needs to be rewritten from here on and that will literally only cause more delay that yall were rioting about to begin with. Infold shares the same 3 brain cells as yall apparently
3) where the FUCK are the girlies who were threatening bullshit lawsuits against infold? I wanna see them now that infold has actually lied to all our fucking faces a few days ago releasing those statements and commenting about how rest assured Valko will stick around as a recurring LI. All this fake ass marketing. Lying coward asses
4) clearly only the CN opinion matters. Not even all the CN girlies btw- just the loud ass toxic ass crying ass baby ass fake lawyer ass racist ass girlies. Infold doesn’t give a fuck about any of us really but wow they just spat in the face of every single global player. I don’t know how the fuck they think raising all this hype, literally spending years on valko’s character and story- which is crucial to the general experience + integrity of the game like all the other LIs- and then wiping him is a good idea. Like oh cool that does fuck all. MS is still stuck where it’s at. And now as an added bonus you just lost the trust of all your global (and some CN) fans, betrayed your own fucking word and marketing (AGAIN WHERE IS THE LAWSUIT FOR THIS???!), and now we have to live with the reality that the story will always contain a Valko-shaped hole.
I want them to delete the yellow stellactrum too. Only makes sense right? Delete it no balls. I’m so dead ass. Get rid of everything, every mechanic, every hint, every variable in the game, that was meant to be there and existed solely for Valko. Fuck it even get rid of our fishie because he always existed with his foil in mind! Only makes sense.
5) it should be pretty obvious but I’ve unfollowed all of the love & deepspace platforms, and honestly my will to play this game has completely vanished in a cloud of smoke rn. Genuinely fuck them. Had just bought a whole bunch of shit in preparation for him, and my aurum pass is still active but I’ve uninstalled the game & will never spend a dime on their lying coward pandering asses ever again unless they bring him back. Doubt it tho because again, they only care about the toxic loud cn girls 🙂
Chinese insider info suggests the game was going to go under investigation by apple AND the Chinese government.
This is because the Valko haters went a review bombed them. Removed their money from the game. Pushing the game to bankruptcy.
I believe if this strike goes on from any sides the game itself might go down.
The developers panicked with the government’s involvement in the mix. This is truly heartbreaking.
Disgusting behaviour from mostly the Chinese toxic girlies. Not all of them hated Valko but these girls went ahead and ruined the company that gave them the game that they survive on.
Yes Infold has problems. The game has missing content. But patience and constructive criticisms wouldn’t have pushed this situation to the brink.
For context they started making up shit on how Valko (a fictional character) is tied to the 731 situation.
It was a historic tragedy where the Japanese experimented on the people with biological chemical warfare.
My question is this game is a SCI FI game. Its whole premise is the fact that people are getting experimented on without their consent and turning into monsters and dying.
Our MC was a lab rat. Where were these concerns when the game was moving in this direction?
And media has always had its way having story lines that have usually already occurred. Because humans are disgustingly like that. That is why most of them write “this is purely fictional. If related to real life incident it is a total coincidence”.
If that was the story too it allows people to delve into the past and learn about the mistakes we as a society have refused to accept.
I blame the haters for bringing us to this point. You have threatened a company that (yes is money hungry but also) worked on this project for so long.
The extreme might push the game to stop development. So yes, this was violent and cruel. But we will fight for our content.
Because media is the voice of the mind. A platform is the stage where we speak out. Art is the expression of the soul.
There is no space for those who get their way with hate. You don’t love the LIs if you are willing to stoop so low to cheap ass tricks.
Think about it. What would your LI say if they found out you committed such a crime?
And to the people who continue to support and want Valko to be back. Even I hope we get him back. But there might be no hope.
Please reblog, like and comment so people read this
FOR THOSE IF YOU WHO DONT HAVE TWITTER (X) OR AREN'T IN THE DISCORD
This is some advice I collected from everyone (do what you feel comfortable with). Here are ways to maybe give them a chance of listening to us (spread the word pls pls):
1. Sign petitions!
Fans urge Infold and PaperGames to restore Valko as a love interest in Love and Deepspace to honor the original vision for the game. Add you
Bring Valko Back!
2. Email Infold, or for those of you that still have your surveys or are VIP, expressing actual concerns about hard work and money being wasted on their end, their lack of care for the global players, and our wishes for Valko to be exclusive to the global server. Contact customer support in the app, through your email and through the app, tell them to reconsider canceling him!
Hi! I wanted to ask the Love and Deepspace team to keep Valko's launch. I agree he deserved more time in the spotlight before the launch, deserved more build-up, but genuinely I've been so excited for him. Please reconsider your decision on removing him. For all the negativity, there are so many more people out here who want him around and will spend money on him. Don't give up on us!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Infold,
Your decision to cancel Valko is deeply disappointing and, in our opinion, unfair to the global player community.
We, the global players, have become attached to this character. Many of us have already started saving resources for his release, created new accounts specifically for him, and even spent money on those accounts in anticipation of his arrival.
We believe this decision is disrespectful to your global audience. If the Chinese Love and Deepspace community did not accept this character, then remove him from the Chinese version of the game if necessary—but please keep him available on the global servers. Otherwise, many of us will feel that the time, effort, and money we invested were wasted.
As consumers of your content, we are extremely dissatisfied with this decision. We sincerely ask you to reconsider and allow Valko to remain as the sixth Love Interest for the global version of the game.
We hope you will listen to the voices of your global community and make a decision that respects all of your players.
Sincerely,
Global Love and Deepspace Players
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To Infold Games,
We are writing to you today as a deeply concerned and disappointed community regarding the official cancellation of Valko from Love and Deepspace. The news has sent shockwaves through the entire fandom, and we feel compelled to address the company directly because we refuse to sit back and watch such an incredible character be phased out. Valko brought a completely unique energy, a fascinating dark charm, and a thrilling dynamic to the universe you have built. The immediate and overwhelming outcry across social media proves just how amazing he was and how much the player base wants him back.
What makes this decision so incredibly difficult for us to accept is the way his character was promoted to the community. Infold spent significant time and resources featuring him in official livestreams and dedicated videos, naturally generating massive hype and encouraging the fandom to invest heavily in his presence. To abruptly pull the plug after using these platforms to integrate him into our experience feels like a complete disservice to player engagement. You cannot showcase a character so prominently, witness the fanbase rally behind him with such passion, and then simply take him away after we have already supported the content.
We are formally urging Infold Games to look at the unified response from your community and reconsider this decision. The players who log in every day, support your streams, and love this game are asking you to listen to our feedback. We want Valko back, and we expect a company that values its audience to respect the time and emotional investment we pour into your world. Please, do the right thing for your player base and bring Valko back to Love and Deepspace.
Sincerely,
The Deepspace Hunters Community
3. Leave bad reviews on App Store/ google play and tell them you dont want valko to be deleted > dont insult them, just tell them you love him and dont want him gone.
4. ATTACK THEIR SOCIAL MEDIAS
Flood their instagram, twitter, youtube, tiktok comments.
Temporarily stop posting the other guys on these socials and post/share only Valko content. If you must, post other guys content on ao3 or tumblr (Infold doesn’t monitor these sites).
Mass report their socials!
The goal is to make infold lose money, gain a bad reputation, and let them know that they will actually lose global fans!
5. Download xiaohongshu (rednote) and spam valko content Go directly to the cn base and use #敖尹取消上线 GO TO THE CN SOCIAL MEDIA!
**EVERYONE, BE SMART, DON'T JUST SPAM**
6. DELETE THE GAME
They are trying to bribe us with pulls and selectable memories. Make sure you have a way to restore the game, but for the time being delete it and reject their bribes. Support or create Valko edits/fanart instead!
My personal opinion:
Was I excited when Valko was first introduced: no, and that can be seen from some of my previous posts, I just didn't really care for his face. BUT Did I keep an open mind: yes, because I recognized that I felt the same about Sylus at first, but Sylus grew on me, which can also be seen in my previous posts and reblogs, etc. Was I starting to feel Valko and started to get excited after the watching the new trailers, myths, etc: yes, because I kept an open mind about him and wanted to see what could happen.
At no point in time was I nasty or rude about Valko of the people who where excited about him right off the bat. I knew just because he wasn’t my cup of tea didn’t mean I wanted him gone. Other liked him but I didn’t have too and also didn’t want to close the door to the possibility that I could in the future.
The issue for me wasn’t the new 6th LI, it was the lack of updates for Sylus and Caleb, as was a lot of other peoples opinion. But INFOLD CAN STILL GIVE US BOTH! Give Valko to the Global servers and just not the CN server. GLOBAL SERVER FANS EXIST TOO!
There was so much work that went into him from so many people. DONT WASTE ALL THAT HARD WORK! By doing so it just feels like you're reinforcing the blatant bullying and disregarding the opinion of the global server fans.
For me its less about Valko being cancelled and more about the CN fans getting everything they want and the global servers being ignored over EVERYTHING we ask for and Valko is just the prime example of this.
So please if you're on Twitter (X): trying to get the #giveusvalko and #BRINGBACKVALKO to trend.
Sign the petitions, send the emails (VIP members and those who havent done the in game survey yet PLEASE put your response to good use). WE CANT LET THE CN GIRLIES WIN ALL THE TIME. This is ridiculous!
This is the response the CN fans are giving. They have sued Infold over Valko, giving racist comments (can't post those here), and are just being rude and nasty about this whole ordeal.
BRUHHH, I wanna talk about my beautiful man Valko from Love and Deepspace.
Like, Infold Games, you can't introduce us to a delicious new man and then just be like, "So... never mind."
For context, they added a new character after like a year, and people started hating on him. Like... okay? What about all the people who loved and supported him? If he got scrapped because of hate, then by that logic all of the love interests should get scrapped, because they've all gotten hate at some point.
As someone who mainly plays for Xavier, it's honestly sad because I actually liked Valko, and so did a lot of other people.
I even downloaded the game again just so I could get Valko and collect his stuff.
And apparently they also won't be adding any new love interests in the future... Like, hello? That's literally the whole point of the game finding love interests, collecting them, and upgrading them. What are we supposed to do once we've upgraded everyone and there's nothing new left to work toward?
In my eyes, the game is gonna go downhill because of this.
So, in conclusion... we need to get Infold Games to bring Valko back.
No because what the actual fuck was that decision?
You mean to tell me months—if not YEARS—of development.
…and your solution was to throw the ENTIRE SIXTH LOVE INTEREST into the trash?
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
I'm not saying people shouldn't have been angry about the 731 reference. They absolutely had every right to be. Unit 731 is one of the darkest chapters in history and if that reference was made carelessly, then yes, people deserved an apology and an explanation.
But explain to me how Valko became the sacrificial lamb here.
Who exactly does this help?
The people who were hurt by the reference? They still deserve accountability.
The people who were excited for Valko? Congratulations, you just told them to go fuck themselves.
The developers who spent who knows how long creating an entirely new LI? Their work gets deleted overnight.
So what was the goal here?
Because this doesn't feel like taking responsibility. It feels like corporate damage control.
Fix the story.
Rewrite the chapter.
Delete the offending reference.
Delay the release.
Fire whoever thought using 731 and 611 was acceptable if you have to.
But deleting an ENTIRE CHARACTER because of a mistake in ONE PART OF THE GAME is such an absurd overreaction that I genuinely can't wrap my head around it.
I'm just so unbelievably disappointed. because Infold's response was somehow even worse than the original mistake.
We lost a character.
The developers lost their work.
The fandom lost something people had been excited about.
What an absolute fucking waste.
i was afraid this would happen so i can’t say i’m too shocked
there’s just so much incompetence all around. from valko’s “here damn” release announcement to assuming that his release would make the hundreds of legitimate complaints about the game disappear. there’s just so much naivety and arrogance and avarice into infold’s strategy that as long as they’re producing something, everything is unicorns and rainbows, and fans will forget their concerns about the game and other characters they’ve been attached to for 2.5 years.
that they’d choose to remove valko entirely speaks to just how irate some players were, but god. i just can’t fathom it. if they were working on him for as long as they claimed, surely they’re losing so much time and effort and money and so many resources? and what about the fans who weren’t irate and genuinely anticipated his release? they’ve pumped out all this promo and purposefully gotten players attached to him just to pull the rug out from under them. the people they were planning to siphon money from like crazy upon his release
why not continue with his release and earnestly commit to fixing the game’s other problems? why not devote equal time and resources to all love interests? why not prioritize the main story over sims 3 gameplay no offense cause it was cute? if players were concerned about him ruining their pulls, why not adjust the pulling system? every aspect of this situation had a solution. but when god created the lads leadership team he dropped their vials of competence and hoped no one would notice (we noticed.)
and last but not least i’m a really hard sell on the argument that his character and story elements presented thus far were “too dark” because…look at the other stuff in this game
disappointed is an understatement for the fact that a vocal minority of parasocial liars essentially throwing a week long tantrum is what’s finally stuck.
im extra disappointed from a game standpoint because i know there was going to be a lot of lore added and explained with his introduction bc of his position that we’re now missing out on, and the potential delays in already long awaited updates that re-workshopping this change will cause.
also just genuinely surprised because at the very least, from a business standpoint, all the sunken cost for him alone feels like it should’ve been the last resort for them to do this and not the first solution, since they’ll never make any money back on him now.
last but most important, not only are the players impacted here, but this widespread tantrum and attempt to strong arm a company over a game is having real life impacts on the writing team that was hired for Valko, all the voice actors and cosplayers and motion capture actors for him, and an entire design and animation team I’m sure. so yay, you nuked the real world just to get your fake world to be exactly as you want it …
