Dear YoFans,

Big Viking Games endeavors to create a safe and supportive YoWorld for all players. We do not encourage any form of violence or harassment toward any persons. We strive to develop a culture and environment in our company and in our games that is inclusive, safe and trustworthy.

We sincerely apologize to anyone who was offended by the 50 Shades of Yo theme or its items and to anyone who is now upset over the decision to remove some of these items. We also would like to apologize for the lack of notice surrounding this decision and will make it a priority to do better in the future to keep players informed.

We want to address the recent removal of a few items from the 50 Shades of Yo theme. We take player feedback very seriously and after careful consideration and review, we decided to act on the legitimate concerns of our players. This ultimately resulted in the permanent removal of certain items from their respective stores. We decided it would be unfair to remove these items from players who had already purchased them in good faith. As a result, players who purchased these items will not have them removed from their accounts.

Big Viking Games continues to support YoWorld as a safe environment and community of inclusion and trust for all players. We do not condone or support violence or harassment of any kind. To promote this philosophy, we are making changes to ensure a better process is put in place to protect our players and YoWorld.

We love YoWorld and we are re-committing ourselves to the strong values of trust, inclusion, and respect toward our players and fans. Thank you all for your continued support and feedback.

Big Viking Games and The YoWorld Team
