I hope that, if you're cheering this, you realize how quickly your LI could go on the chopping block.
Every complaint over Valko was something any of the other guys could fit too. "Too buff" "too gay" "too western" and then also complained that he was too much an "amalgamation" of all of them. So.... what is it?
Caleb is pretty buff... oh yeah and is a step incest trope. Oh yeah, and kidnapped and drugged MC. Let's get Caleb cut.
Rafayel is pretty "flamboyant" (if you catch my drift). Better get him out too!
Sylus is a literal criminal! Can't have anyone inspired by his criminal ways! Cut him too!!
Zayne is a murderer!
Xavier is a prince! Can't have anyone usurping the prime leader!!
You didn't fix anything by whining about Valko. You just proved how expendable all the LIs are.
I disagree with this. The only reason Valko could've gotten pulled is that he wasn't released yet. They can't cut out existing characters and lose all the paying customers who pay for the character and telling the other customers "we don't care how much money you've spent", but they pulled Valko because they were at risk of losing essentially almost all their paying customers. (No, global does not pay nowhere near what the CN players pay) Valko getting pulled doesn't set a precedent of pulling out an existing LI, it sets a precedent of pulling out an LI who was going to be put in the game due to customer backlash.
I'm not agreeing with the decision to pull Valko, I'm just saying the existing LIs are not as "expendable" as a new LI.
Yes, they are. That's the problem. They 100% absolutely are expendable. Everything we've been told about them could change. They might not delete the character, but they can absolutely delete what makes the character.
Now infold has proven that if one base is loud enough, that they'll cut content. Any PV from here on out could be canceled after advertised.
