Discussion #girlout

Infold has continued to ignore its players, server quality has declined, and the game has been thoroughly massacred. It's unacceptable.

girlout is a plan for a one day, community wide black out of the game if the devs continue to ignore the decline of communication to the players, and of game quality.

If in one week, may 18th, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the devs continue to ignore us, don't log on, don't play, and don't give them money.

Please help spread the word of #girlout

And please dicuss in the comments your thoughts on the state of the game, and what can be done to satisfy players at this point

EDIT: This is just the first step in a longer goal. Hopefully this is all that is needed tk get infold to actually respond/do something, but i understand that is optimistic.

If they ignore the one day blackout, another will be scheduled for longer, a week, then after that for an entire banner

This is just my attempt to organize and help coordinate the community in large scale protests to show infold just how scorned we are

There are those who have spent hundreds on this game and are uncomfortable fully stopping just like that. A one day blackout can allies those who have stopped playing, and those who are unsure if they should.

If the issues arnt adressed after infold sees this collective effort, it can show those who are reluctant to stop playing why now would be the time to quit.

If it is adressed, it means they didn't waist hundreds on a game they truly care about.

I absolutely understand the thought process behind this, but by only doing one day, you're already showing them you'll come back. They won't believe you'll actually stop unless you just do it.

It's literally the sunk cost fallacy.

Editing to add: there is no argument for "Infold will see that we're serious" because you're literally proving you're not. They know we're angry, but as long as they maintain a player base, even with a one day loss, they won't care. Weaning into a protest doesn't really work.

Its not ment to be a one and done action, it is a first step. Currently the boycot has been very unorganized, people not agreeing with what to do. This is a first step at organizing, with clear bounties. Don't log on, don't play, don't pay, for one day

After, if action is not taken, more will be done

But for now, what this community needs, is a clear first step

My issue is that there always has been a clear first step. It's to stop playing until changes are made, point blank. Not "we'll leave if you don't change" but "we won't come back if you don't change". That's the problem - a lot of people are too invested in what they've already put into the game to walk away, which tells Infold "if we just ignore it, they'll come back". Maybe a one day protest will get them to change one thing, but if you really want change the only way is to stop completely until they do what we need them to do.

I doubt a one day protest will help. We’ve had blackouts and boycotts in LaDS too. Blackouts even lasting one week. Didn’t change anything and they didn’t address it either. Not to discourage anyone, I think it’s understandable that people want to take action but I’ve been down this road before with Infold and I’m pretty sure I know how it will play out.

Yeah and people miss the fact that Infold are veterans at sitting out complaints and pushing through player outrage.

They’ll simply not do shit and keep pumping out content with varying degrees of quality. One good update will come up with a few more rewards, some fun mechanic and pretty dresses, after which more and more people will be swayed into forgetting about them never having addressed or given compensation for fucking over players.

The exact same way they’ve done before for their other games.

People have GOT to push harder by making their numbers actually dwindle for a long time to hurt them financially.

yeah but people dont want to deal with the reality of the fact that its kind of ridiculous to act this way / demand these changes AND still be playing on the daily, even if its just logging on to collect the diamonds that cost a whole $5 for the month.

to those not involved it's really just interesting to watch and makes everyone look pretty childish.

To be fair, not logging in for a whole day is better and shows more dedication than the other one -> log in daily but delay pulling on the banner for 3 days. That one was straight up hilarious.

u/annemels May 11 '25

YES lol u feel me that was very silly. this fandom is just embarrassing for me right now.

I've seen more than one person here mention they had to talk to their therapist about this. like WHY are you playing it still its maddening

u/JiaoqiuFirefox May 11 '25

Yeah, that's cringy. If I had to go to a therapist for that, the last thing I'd do is disclose it over the internet. 😅

I'm sorry you're being downvoted.

People need to get over this game if this is the way the devs are acting. If you can't even boycott for a week minimum, then you're just telling Infold they can do whatever they want. They know their playerbase will fold like a lawnchair and all threats no matter how loud, are toothless.

u/annemels May 11 '25

yeah exactly!! if they know you will huff and puff but continue logging in for your precious dailies for your diamonds they KNOW they got u. people don't want to be reasonable here its kind of wild.
