All the reasons behind player’s boycott to Love and Deepspace’s new Valentine’s Day banner

BBG News

Participants are planning a three-day strike for the upcoming Love and Deepspace Valentine’s event. Here’s their reasoning behind it.

Supporters are upset with InFold Games over several issues, leading them to organize a worldwide protest and social media silence regarding the upcoming Love and Deepspace advertisement. The initial action was taken by Chinese gamers who claimed that the company is excessively greedy and unfair towards free-to-play users. To grasp the reasons behind this protest, let’s delve into its context.

Love and Deepspace boycott: What are the demands?

The reason behind this protest is that InFold has divided cosmetics and clothing into different categories. As a result, if you want to buy both types of items, you’ll need to use more resources by wishing on multiple banners. This upcoming banner, however, has further confused players by separating hair accessories from outfits, which seems illogical to the player base.

Beyond this, gamers are expressing concerns over the latest attire for the main character. Given that her outfit is mostly hidden during regular gameplay, particularly in combat, it seems illogical for players to spend money on this outfit. Players suspect that InFold might be becoming too grasping, potentially making it harder for players to gather resources and materials. However, at present, the game remains generous with resources from daily quests, logins, and various tasks.

The problem with Sylus content

The supporters of the character Sylus are calling for improved handling, as they feel that Sylus is lacking in anecdotes, memories, and essential content. This appears to also apply to the latest character, Caleb. However, the company has yet to issue any response concerning this content gap. The situation with Sylus seems particularly severe because even key elements of his backstory are still absent, despite having been introduced half a year ago.

The decorations for Valentine’s Day have been put up already. The players are utilizing social networks to disseminate information and make this boycott a success. For the next three days, they are being asked not to share or discuss the game online, refrain from creating fan art, avoid spending money or resources within the game, or at the very least, minimize their time spent on it as much as feasible.

The community united for the boycott

The vast majority of the gaming community has been backing the boycott against Love and Deepspace’s latest game banner. Streamer Lexy, who plays the game, recently announced on X that she would postpone her stream for three days and reduce her in-game activity to show respect for the boycott. This isn’t the first time such a protest has occurred, and the initial one appeared to bring positive outcomes for players.

As a fellow gamer, I myself was hyped for the new banner, but I’ve got to say, we’re collectively backing our Chinese gaming community. We’re really hoping that InFold Games listens to their concerns and starts making necessary adjustments.
