Just spam posting a bunch of Valko screenshots cause I'm still annoyed as hell

[roguestly]

Something that I've noticed about this whole drama, is that seeing how the community can come together. You always hear about "strength in numbers" but I never really believed it until I've been seeing it in action over these last few days.

It's... Amazing.

Players supporting each other, helping each other, learning more about each other, hell even people switching sides and now coming over to add their voices.

I just love that the vibe I'm getting is "Hear our voices." and "Goodness prevails."

The haters tried so many underhanded tactics to undermine everything we cared about for this game, and yet the surge pushing back is handling it with care, grace and compassion. True wolf nobility if ever I saw it, proud, strong and strength in numbers.

Keep going, my lovelies. Karma will deal with the haters, trust me 😘

🐺😊

Keep Boycotting #BringValkoBack

TLDR: Keep boycotting, uninstalls and reviews will not lead to immediate EOS. Do not believe anything not from a reliable source.

I'm seeing a LOT of misinformation going around about the boycott. This always happens in boycotts for various reasons, especially if they are as big and successful as ours. Because of this, I wanted to make a big post outlining why you should still uninstall and boycott the game.

You will hear a lot of people telling you that you should log in and keep the game installed to "support Valko" and prevent the game from going EOS. They will say things like "you'll hear big news in 2 hrs that I can't tell you about" to get you riled up or make big claims like "he will be back in 2 months, so keep logging in!"

Do not believe these claims unless they have an actual reliable source. I have seen so many people blindly liking posts that are at best rumours and at worst blatant lies. The most annoying lie I have seen is if you review bomb the game, it will EOS. This is false.

This is not the first time Infold has ruined a game. They have ruined many. The most recent example was Infinity Nikki, in which they completely retconned the beginning of the game and gave us the Sea of Stars update, better known as the Sea of Shit update. We don't need to get too into specifics; all you need to know is this: it got review bombed HARD. To this day, these are the current ratings of the game on both app stores:

Again, these are just what they are now, they were of course much lower at the actual time. When was this? Over a year ago and the game still gets updated just like normal. Why? Because the app store doesn't terminate games based on bad ratings. That is not a thing and has never been a thing. Anyone who says otherwise is misinformed. Do not fall for that fear mongering.

I would also like to point out that while Nikki is a franchise that does well for itself, it does not make 40 MILLION dollars a MONTH. Think about that for a second. Every month, Infold makes $40 million from LADS alone. Don't believe me? Good! Don't believe anything without a source, so here is mine:

There is a gacha revenue report every month. As you can see, they made $38 million dollars in June and they were the #1 gacha game in terms of income. I want it to be very clear that I did not cherry pick their best performing month with the most popular banners and events. This is from this last month. In fact, they made almost $50 MILLION in May.

Do you really think that the #1 gacha game in the world that makes $40 million a MONTH is going to EOS immediately if we don't log in for a bit? That would be stupid. You are being tricked into panicking when there is no reason to.

The only true fear you should have in regard to EOS at this point in time is if it is true they're being investigated by the Chinese Government. However, that is out of our hands at this point, and our actions do not have an impact on that. I also have seen a lot of misinformation about this that uninstalling and not logging in would affect this somehow. Tell me: why would the Chinese government care about how many foreigners are logging into the game? If the issue is that the game has "harmful" content they don't want in their country, do you really think that they'll look at high foreigner log-in numbers and go "oh wow this game is popular we can't delete it"? NO! They don't care; they want to censor content they deem "harmful" they don't care about our opinions. They banned AO3 ffs.

In summary, you are welcome to do whatever you like. I cannot force anyone to do anything nor can anyone else. However, if the reason you do not want to boycott is because you're afraid the game will immediately EOS, I do want to reassure you that is not likely to happen. Despite how stupid Infold is, they're unlikely to shut the game down over this if they kept Infinity Nikki going with a much smaller revenue potential. We deserve to be treated better and the way to do that is through boycotting and making noise, not by continuing to give money to a company that does not appreciate us.

Please keep fighting. The Valko antis got what they wanted from boycotting and harassing Infold for a week. We need to keep up a similar pace if we want the changes we want to see to happen. Not just the return of Valko, but also ways to farm diamonds, more story updates, etc. We deserve better. Do not give into fear.
