Ironmouse dropped a VTuber sponsor for lying about AI. She’s still taking a Fortnite Icon skin. NTE told her team there was no generative AI. She asked. They said no. The assets showed up and she walked. That’s fair. Fortnite is not hidden. Epic uses AI in concept work and NPC voices. She’s hyped to be in the shop anyway. Not the same lie. Not the same clean record either.

Ironmouse has dropped her sponsorship of the open-world gacha RPG Neverness to Everness (NTE). On stream, she explained that her ad agency had been assured by the developers that the game contained no generative AI. She stated that they told her team, “We do not have AI in anything. There is no AI anywhere.” After seeing evidence of AI-generated assets, including atmospheric renders and promotional shorts, she got mad: “Why are you fucking lying bro?” and confirmed she will not play or promote the game.

@ironmouse Always!!! I love your music!!! I did I DJ set recently in Italy and I put “Waifu Jam”, one of my favorite songs!! In Italy, not many people know about Vtubers, so I’m trying to grow this culture through music and you’re always on my playlist!
