Summary
The article reports on the controversy surrounding the gacha game Love and Deepspace, developed by Papergames (known for Infinity Nikki). The developers announced a new male love interest named Valko, but faced intense fan backlash from players who felt the character was poorly designed, didn't fit the game's aesthetic, or that resources should go to existing characters instead. Within 8 days of the announcement, the developers canceled Valko's release entirely, marking a rare instance of a game company reversing a major content decision due to fan pressure.

"He doesn't look like he belongs in this game at all," one fan wrote on social media.
"We'd rather have more content for the existing love interests than a new one who looks like he's from a different game," another player commented.
The romance gacha game Love and Deepspace from the Infinity Nikki developers announced Valko 8 days ago. Now he's forever canceled.
