The story

The company stated in a September 8 notice that responsible parties have removed infringing materials and ceased offline commercial activities that misled players regarding official partnerships. WWM CN specifically targeted AI animations and comics that misappropriated artwork and audio to simulate legitimate business deals. This enforcement action addresses the emerging threat of synthetic media creating false corporate endorsements.
