Ironmouse Cancels Gacha Game Sponsorship Over 'Blatant' GenAI Use
"Ironmouse stated during a stream on May 3 that she'd be pulling out of her Neverness to Everness sponsored content, as developers Hotta Studio had 'assured' the streamer that no genAI'd content would be present in the full release."
"'Whenever I get sent an offer for a sponsor or something, I always make sure that I tell people 'can you make sure-double, triple, quadruple-check-that this does not have AI in it. I will not accept it if it does,' Ironmouse stated during the stream."
"'And then, [Hotta Studio] assured me 'no, don't worry, you're good, it's fine.'...and then I find out, it's not fine?'"
Neverness to Everness, an open-world gacha game, launched on April 29 but is facing criticism for suspected generative AI use in its content. While praised for its graphics and gacha pull rates, instances of generative AI in videos and art have marred its reception. Twitch VTuber Ironmouse announced her withdrawal from sponsored streams, claiming developers misled her about the presence of generative AI. Fans have identified multiple examples of AI-generated content, including an animated video and a suspicious billboard advertisement.
