Love and Deepspace revenue fell 73% to US$10.3M in July after Valko cancellation

Love and Deepspace earned US$10.3 million in July 2026, down 73% from US$38 million in June, per revenue data cited by GameSpot. The drop followed Papergames' cancellation of Valko, a planned sixth love interest, after fan backlash. China's Ministry of Public Security then ordered characters and storylines pulled for re-certification, criticising Valko's promotional content for "disregard[ing] public order and morality." Papergames also withdrew from BilliBilli World 2026.
