hello there! I saw your recent post and wanted to clear up a few things (hopefully Tumblr lets the links work xD):
the scandal that happened with MLQC unfortunately took place in 2019, and Shaw was later brought back as a special encounter and not a full-time LI. The game lasted on Global servers until 2026 when it was shut down due to low revenue. There’s a post that explains it in detail on the Mr. Love subreddit called Debunking false information about MLQC EOS and Shaw (In relation to LDS) (https://www.reddit.com/r/MrLove/comments/1uty1ot/debunking_false_information_about_mlqc_eos_and/)
The Infinity Nikki Girlcott also did get a response to it concerning the story retcon, which is detailed by Kerensa on Twitter (https://x.com/Kerensa_IN/status/2076411027437371768)
misinfo is running high these days, so I wanted to send these your way in the hopes that they’ll help out somehow! Take care!
Hi anon! Love the energy that we’re bringing towards keeping each other informed and up to date. I haven’t actually seen these links floating around yet, so great find and thanks for passing them along!
First and foremost, you’re right! Saying that MLQC was directly cancelled due to the Shaw scandal is a bit fallacious, and the Reddit post has a great timeline for those interested in how the game crumbled over time. And while there were a number of other contributing factors to how the revenue streams failed for the game, it would also be fallacious to pretend that the gross mishandling of the character’s release and retconning of his previous mentions (or perhaps more accurately, their managing of the player base afterwards) didn’t play a huge part in that. This should’ve been my focus, because what’s more important than the game’s cancellation itself is the pattern of behavior into how the game was managed, and how it can be a predictor of future behavior from a company like this with multiple properties.
In regards to the Infinity Nikki situation, it’s worth noting that like OP in the linked thread, I was also a player at the time. A day 1 fan. In point of fact, I left Nikki over the issues mentioned in the post, and did not return until the vast majority of them were fixed. The thing is: they never should have been issues in the first place. Doubling down on an insane gacha rate for outfits with 2x the items to hit completion, a completely unusable co-op mode, and an almost total disregard for the f2p player base: this is what mostly led to the cash boycott. While eventually rectified for the most part, the only reason that happened was because of loud player outcry, particularly, a number of fans on the CN side who were incredibly vocal in calling these practices what they are: predatory.
And then the retcon. What I didn’t see mentioned in the thread was the ways in which Infold has addressed the controversy: which is to say that they really didn’t. Yes, there has been a brief acknowledgment that it happened, but that didn’t undo the damage that their decision made to the story and among their own community. Yes, the game has made attempts to integrate the new base lore and weave it into the story dynamics. No, that is not the same as taking accountability, especially when we see the same strategies brought out to use in their sister game.
And really, how many times is this company going to make changes that fundamentally affect their gameplay post-release? How many times is it going to make promises to its player base and then walk them back?
At some point, it becomes about consumer transparency.
Yes, my post vastly oversimplifies these previous incidents, because, and I say this gently, that really isn’t the point. The point is to educate about a pattern of behavior by a particular corporation, and to set expectations about how we (on our side of a boycott, rather than the business side) can respond effectively to that.
Maybe we’ll get Valko back. Maybe we won’t. I will not pretend to have the business savvy or know the market well enough to tell.
What I can tell you is this: PPG has put in the work in the past as a direct result of cash boycotts. It has not walked back story cancellations/changes in any meaningful way as of yet, precisely because the cash boycotts we’re not directed at the story elements but the other issues. The greatest power we have as the consumer is to continue to divest when we are unheard, and to be loud about not just the changes we want, but the practices we feel are unfair to us.
So again, thank you anon for contributing to the conversation! I’m proud to see how this fandom is coming together to educate each other and take action.
I have some decent tea cakes at my place. Do you want to try them? Time and temperature are essential for brewing the perfect cup. (Outfit from Duanwu chibi Sy)

Inspired by Sylus’s phone call “Insomnia”
“...Sy?”
The sleepy voice of his boyfriend followed by a yawn sounded through the speaker. Sylus laid on his stomach with his phone placed beside him, cheek squished against the soft silk of the pillow. Hearing Xavier was already enough to relax the tense muscles in his shoulders, as if he could finally allow the weight of the day to fall off him.
“Lull me to sleep,” Sylus simply said. He had tried to doze off for the last two hours and just couldn’t shut his brain off.
A rustling noise told him Xavier sat up in bed. “Jet lag?”
Sylus hummed in response. He was on a business trip, and the time zone difference hit him harder than usual. What was even worse, he missed the warm body of the silver-blonde man in his arms. Usually that was all it took for him to drift into peaceful slumber.
“Do you want me to tell you a story?” Xavier suggested.
“You could tell me about your day.”
“Nothing of note happened. I fought wanderers, had hot pot with Luke and Kieran. Gave the waiter a huge tip and a check because the twins broke a table.”
“Do I want to know?”
“Not really.”
The Onychinus leader sighed. “This gave me a headache more than anything else.”
The answering soft chuckle was barely picked up by the microphone. “Alright, how about counting crows?” Xavier asked, and another rustling sound echoed through the room as he changed his position. “Or Mephistos.”
When Sylus agreed, Xavier began, “One Mephisto, two Mephistos, three Mephistos—” A yawn interrupted his counting. His voice gradually became quieter and quieter. “Four Mephistos, five Mephistos…”
It was nothing but a whisper until it eventually faded away, and slow, steady breathing took its place.
With a smile, Sylus imagined his boyfriend cuddled up in their shared bed, phone forgotten on the mattress, as his chest softly rose and fell. At least it had worked for one of them.
Sylus closed his eyes, listening to the soothing sound of Xavier’s breathing, and before he knew it, he was lulled to sleep.
