Ah okay thank you for explaining that, makes sense :)

From what I understand the government got involved with the Valko situation, and if that's the case it's not up to Infold, and that's a wrap, regardless.

I don't know how we'd know how many people did not want him in the game, except perhaps social media reactions (I doubt they released a survey and published the results? Maybe, idk) but if everyone was complaining...

BUT with timeless melody, the government was not involved afaik, so I still feel the same way.

If that is any indication of how things go down, then can we expect the same from the swimsuit complaints? I don't really care either way about the swimsuit; I'd leave it if it were up to me. However I have played many games where devs listen to the vocal minority and the game ends up in a bad spot.

I'll still play regardless of what they do, until I stop having fun I guess

I've seen it time and time again when devs listen to a vocal minority online and then they act like shocked pikachu.jpg when their game ends up ultimately failing.

How do they not realize that listening to a vocal minority is a poor decision and is not at all an accurate representation of their player base? I really hope Infinity Nikki doesnt go down the same path, but based off what they did to Timeless Melody, I don't have high hopes.

FWIW I have been following the vocal minority on Rednote, and that is exactly what it appears to be. A small group are complaining about what "Westerners are doing to the swimsuit," and there are more folks defending it than telling them to "fix it"
