This is the beautiful revenue infographic my friend @RUMY_MT made! ✨ The following is my friend’s original message, translated using a translation tool: LADS Q3 revenue dropped by approximately 72%! This isn’t just the normal decline that continued from the first half of the year—the overall revenue has fallen to an unprecedented low. 🫪 The data shows that LADS’ revenue had already been declining over time. Although it was also declining during the first half of this year, the decrease was relatively steady. The obvious turning point came after the Valko removal incident. When the controversy first broke out on June 22, the revenue for that period even showed some signs of recovery, so the initial wave of players speaking out doesn’t appear to have been the main cause. The more significant point to pay attention to is June 30, when Valko was officially removed. That’s when revenue began to plunge dramatically. July was almost completely stagnant, which naturally had a direct impact on revenue. But by August and September, the official side had already started adding content and promotions back in. In September, they even launched the 5Li spicy Multi, First Top-Up Bonus Reset, large gift packs, and many other offers all at once (there were so many~), yet players still refused to spend. And this isn’t just happening in the overseas market. Looking at the Q3 data, spending in both CN and overseas markets contracted significantly. In particular, despite September’s major events, CN revenue showed almost no month-over-month growth. At this point, it appears that players’ confidence in spending and willingness to purchase have been heavily affected after the incident. A one-time boycott may only cause short-term fluctuations, but damage to the trust mechanism can create long-term and difficult-to-reverse marginal effects. What determines a game’s lifespan is players’ confidence in the official team, not promotional strategies. LADS’ spending motivation relies heavily on players’ emotional attachment to the characters and their long-term trust. If the official team cannot rebuild that trust through future content planning, character protection, and communication with the community, it may be difficult for LADS’ revenue to return to its previous peaks. #全世界都爱敖尹 #全世界都在等敖尹 #BringValkoBack
