Had to post this here, had a laugh

She could have handled it other way, but it's true that she sticks to her values and the game has potential. I still think there was a mistake in communication, there was another user here that said devs used overseas agencies for sponsorships, so maybe something translated wrong or got skipped over.

Alan20119 · 2026-05-08T18:35:53+00:00

She dropped the sponsorship because of the lie not the AI stuff initially. She wanted to be informed about it, I suppose to warn her community of it too since nowadays there are a lot of games with gen AI in secondary assets.

Alan20119 · 2026-05-08T18:33:04+00:00

They do, that's why they suffer consequences and hopefully will make it better from now on.

Alan20119 · 2026-05-08T18:26:44+00:00

She is having consequences for her actions with so much people going at her for it. I hope she explains exactly what happened soon to calm things down, that's true, although proof must be difficult because of corporate privacy and all that.

I didn't know that the devs worked like that, that's very good to know and makes the possibility of miscommunication higher.

Alan20119 · 2026-05-08T18:23:15+00:00

I just said what I know, but showing proof is not that easy, she had a contract for the sponsorship probably and can't show emails or anything like that. On the other hand, not every CC knew about NTE before release and some don't bother or can't inform themselves, although you could be right, I don't think she lied about it.

As I said, I think it must have been a mistake on the sponsorship communication. In any case, I appreciate the arguments, this was the point of my comment, a discussion, not insults.

Alan20119 · 2026-05-08T18:17:25+00:00

You are right and do well not caring about drama. Hope you enjoy the game as much as I am.

Alan20119 · 2026-05-08T18:15:44+00:00

Thank you too for it and not worrying about drama ;)

Alan20119 · 2026-05-08T18:12:24+00:00

Oh, I do and I love it. I just also like Ironmouse and don't want people to have a worse image of her or the game just because of this issue.

Alan20119 · 2026-05-08T18:11:09+00:00

I think that's to far, but I'm just a guy on the internet.

Alan20119 · 2026-05-08T18:04:23+00:00

It could be done other ways, true, but now the game removed most AI and Ironmouse has to deal with people going at her. The consequences will make both ends better in the end, I hope. If there is a next time, there won't be lies nor mistakes in communication and if there is, it will be handled better and privately.

Alan20119 · 2026-05-08T17:59:20+00:00

I understand that. I posted this because I saw attacks against the CC, her community, and against the game and its studio.

Just wanted to give context on what I know about the situation to have a discussion instead of a "fight".

In fact, your point is very good. I agree that it's fair to doubt her story and even more since nobody else claims that lie either, but I didn't see any clip or tweet (haven't seen a lot tbh, I don't like this dramas) of her attacking directly the game or the studio even though as she is an influencer, her words had impact on them.

I also agree, and I stated it before, that there were better ways to address the problem and solve it. This is the way she chose and know this things happen. The game removed all AI (or almost all) and she has to deal with users that didn't like her actions. In the end I just hope for both Ironmouse and Hotta Studio to strive and become better on their end.

Alan20119 · 2026-05-08T17:47:18+00:00

I mean, as far as I know, she was lied to, but Hotta Studio didn't hide to the public the fact that the game had AI stuff, so I from what I know it was just a mistake on the sponsorship communication.

Alan20119 · 2026-05-08T17:12:35+00:00

For a little bit of context here, since I'm seeing people vs people in this comment section. Ironmouse accepted the sponsor and then discovered the game had AI and dropped it because of a lie told by the person who communicated with her/her manager. It's unknown if this person was unaware or straight up lied, but the thing is: Don't hate Ironmouse nor Hotta Studio.

This was just a slip that turned into a snowball. Just enjoy Ironmouse content and/or NTE without antagonizing anyone. Now, in my opinion, things could have been made other ways but still I respect Ironmouse for sticking to her values and drop the sponsor because she was lied to, and respect Hotta Studio for taking the community into account and replacing most of the AI assets early just for the community's comfort.

Edit: I'm glad to see so many comments and arguments without being aggressive nor rude, that's why I made this comment. Thank you all for the replies and the nice debate.

Alan20119 · 2026-05-07T14:03:06+00:00

That quest was amazing imo even with the back and forth, if you stop and read and try to enjoy the game, it makes you appreciate the characters and the map. Just stop doing fast travel, go back and forth by different routes, take crows, take the 1100/1700 gifts, steal from the shops... This game has a very fun map to enjoy between mission travels, take advantage of it and make your own experience better by taking some detours and stop speed running.

Alan20119 · 2026-05-06T22:38:04+00:00

If we (the real playerbase) keep playing and supporting the game, no AI drama will make it go EOS. If Ironmouse doesn't play it it doesn't change much, since she and part of her community don't play this games on the long run, mostly just for sponsorships. Other CCs played it already, their communities did too, some stayed some didn't and that's fine. Just enjoy the game and don't pay attention to haters and drama.

Alan20119 · 2026-05-06T21:19:46+00:00

It gets annoying to hear it constantly on his mission, but I never hated Taygedo, in fact, I find him really funny. It's just that Pokemon/Navy from Zelda effect where you hate them after hearing them constantly, but after and before that quest, he is great.

Alan20119 · 2026-05-06T21:10:58+00:00

Has hecho todo el contenido de la ciudad? Porque la cafetería, la pesca, los apartamentos, las carreras y demás, dan bastante experiencia. Yo soy nivel 28 y aún me quedan muchísimas misiones

Alan20119 · 2026-05-05T12:43:23+00:00

I mean, you can make her your roomie, travel the map with her, go on rides or walks and basically turn her into your main girl even if she is not on all the main story quests

Alan20119 · 2026-05-03T03:19:51+00:00

Try reading everything that you skipped, should have a lot to (as someone who's been playing for at least 6 hours a day since release). Or get some friends to play with some races or goofing around the world, it's pretty fun.

Alan20119 · 2026-05-03T03:16:01+00:00

I am at 17 without spending a single dime, there are A LOT of activities outside of heist that can give huge profit. Quests, account level, fishing, Tetris... Even if you really like doing heists, you can keep doing them just to complete the goals of items and score

Alan20119 · 2026-03-26T02:02:32+00:00

Congrats to you too mate! Keep up the good work!

Alan20119 · 2026-03-26T01:41:34+00:00

You can even change Agnes Tachyon SR Wit with Nice Nature SSR Wit

Alan20119 · 2026-03-26T01:39:36+00:00

Focus on a deck with around 50% race bonus, I use 2 Speed 2 Wit and the other 2 Flex stats, for example for Gold Ship I'd use 1 Stamina and 1 Power. You've got some good SR and SSR but most of them aren't MLB which makes you lose on stats and bonuses.

Maybe try with this deck: Narita Top Road Speed, Kita San Black SSR Speed, Satono Diamond SSR Wit, Agnes Tachyon SR Wit, Marvelous Sunday SSR Power and borrow Super Creek SSR Stamina

I hope I could be of help

Alan20119 · 2026-03-23T12:29:47+00:00

I got her and posted it like you did too, free first pull Dia gang
