Furiously created this in Canva instead of sleeping.

Not even going to title this hopecore because it’s honestly more of a reality check (in a kind, Gemini who yaps way) for all my stressed out girlies, and theylies. Copypasted my own comment from another post:

I think he’ll most definitely be back because Infold hasn’t deleted any Valko files, mentions or crumbs from the game (in fact they added more files in since the 6.0 update, according the data miners), the hunter association text is also still there (something that those CN antis have complained about even after his removal announcement lol), his promo vids/posts have been merely archived and not deleted, 6.0 livestream is also still there and hasn’t been deleted and WU 30 is also still there and that one mentions Valko/eoncore by name. They already deleted the Xavie one that caused all this controversies…they could’ve easily deleted WU 30 too.

​Also, whilst I don’t work in the legal field myself but I have to deal with notaries and law entities and I’m familiar with the type of language that attorneys, notaries, etc. use. The way that stupid post from June 30 was written was written just vaguely enough for Valko to get away with it. They said that they would not develop any more new love interests. Valko has already been developed. You can’t ‘undevelop’ him. They said that they wouldn’t introduce any new love interest, however, if you take WU 30 into account, he has already been teased/introduced, so he isn’t new to the story lol. A lot of ways their legal team can spin this into keeping Valko. Also, if I’m not mistaken, the previous post they had made before the removal post said that they will most definitely keep Valko, and it had a legal sort of stamp on it. The #ladsvalkocancelled post (omfg it still makes me mad that they made a hashtag about it. Wtf) didn’t have that legal stamp.

Lastly, the biggest reason why I think Valko will be back is because a fuck ton of money and time went into developing Valko. These 3D cards are not cheap nor easy to make — which is why there’s no other 3d otome game out there right now. They will need to, and will want to, release Valko to make back the revenue that went into working on him. They need to make profit, and they haven’t made any. The way I understand it is that creating Valko ate into their funds, and they will need to make back that funds first to break even first, and then make profit. The boycott isn’t helping this either (well, it’s helping us!). They’re at a really, really bad place right now, financially speaking, and they have seen the global support. They know that the market is literally right there, begging to pay Infold for Valko. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out what is the most sound decision to make, financially speaking as a business.

Anyway, all of these points towards Valko being released. I think what I, and other players are frustrated about is just the lack of communication on Infold’s part. It’s really is… just the worst. Just terrible.

I’ll preface this by saying I’m a VIP spender and I still haven’t spent any money since Valko’s removal, and that I pulled for this myth pair because 1) I had enough diamonds and wishes saved anyway, so Infold wasn’t going to get any more money, 2) rerun banners are way more expensive, and I know that even when Infold does bring Valko back, because it’s really looking like they will, I’ll still scale back how much I spend on this game.

Okay, I got the myth pair and I really just….

This one is just…. Like it’s beautiful, gorgeous colours but it feels so mid compared to LSG. LSG had me crying when I saw the kindled and this one, I just… maybe my feelings towards Infold right now is affecting how I’m feeling towards this card but it’s really just ‘meh’.

It’s a dead horse that I keep just beating over and over again but PPG really did screwed the pooch with this entire situation.

I still believe that they’ll back Valko, I just… the longer they go without communicating, the more it taints my view them, and the game, ultimately.

Sigh

I…… will pull for Rafayel’s myth……. IN MY DEFENSE I have a guarantee, and also, as of now, 158 or something wishes. So it should get me his new companion without me having to give any money to inflop….I feel like I’m betraying my own morals for this but rerun banners are so freaking expensive. Ugh, every time I remember how I’m going to have to wait and pull for Caleb’s current card later during a rerun, after Valko is live, it makes me angry at Infold all over again because this could have been prevented.

They really could’ve handled it all better. 😭 they ignored the hate when it came to Caleb and Sylus, why couldn’t they ignore it when it came to Valko? Ugh.

These antis are mostly low spenders and only care about their LIs. They're not spending anything for anyone who isn't their main lol

Guys, what kills me the most about this situation is just how bad their communication is. What is holding them back from communicating with their fans? If what’s stopping them is potential lawsuits/legal reasons, they could STILL make a vague-ish statement, that is okayed by their lawyers. Also, they have gotten the green-light from the government, and I’m sure the investors are antsy too. Literally the only thing holding them back from communicating with us is THEMSELVES.

I don’t think I would have been this furious about them dropping a Caleb solo, HAD THEY HAD COMMUNICATED WITH US IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM. Just tell us that you are aware, and that a statement will be made. OR LITERALLY ANYTHING.

Inslop has done a lot of terrible things that I’ve overlooked but their lack of communication is truly the thing that destroys me.

God, not even mihoyo was this bad when it came to communicating.

If you guys are also tired of hearing about that stupid sub and its idiot members, then go ahead and message the mods to let them know.

At this point, some of the doomer fans in here are doing the antis work for them by spreading whatever stupid stuff they’re posting or commenting about there in this sub. It’s so annoying.

JUST COMMUNICATE WITH US!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
I just want my wolf :( you can release him later, but please let us know that he’ll be back. That’s all I want 😭😭😭

What are you guys going to nickname Valko in moments/chat? What do would you guys like him to call you?

I’m leaning towards naming him ‘Babygirl Supreme’ or ‘Omega Babygirl’ OR ‘Wolfpuppy’. I like cringy nicknames and I feel like it would fit right in with the other 5.

As for his nickname for us, I can’t lie… I’m leaning towards ‘master’ or ‘alpha’ just for the bit.

My omega will be in my arms soon… I can smell him……

The hunter’s association text is STILL there, the YouTube videos for Valko are just unlisted and not privated.

He will be back guys, trust.

I was correct about the 6th LIs existence, back a couple of months ago, so I’m sure I’m right about this too. 🧘🙏

I so very badly want to believe, and I keep hoping that they’ll just bring him out later, but the ‘coming soon’ being gone is really destroying my hopes.

I guess I’ll just stay until my 200 whatever days of daily aurum and yearly aurum ends and then I’ll leave this game for good.

What a way to destroy a beloved game.

ETA: just realized that this subreddit changed the flairs to remove Valko from the ‘group’ flair. This is actually my last straw. I’m leaving lol

It’s so unbelievably petty. I’m over it.

Will we be getting version 6.0 after all??? Someone smarter than me please decode what this meanssss. Will we get our omega? 😭🥺
