The end is nigh for Destiny 2. Bungie recently announced that, after nine years, the cosmic FPS MMO will receive its last update in June of this year. Waves and waves of tributes have poured out since, across the game's vast community, prompting thanks from someone who very actively followed those players.

On Twitter, Dylan 'dmg04' Gafner, the principal communications manager for Destiny at Bungie and a rock for the game's community, expressed his gratitude for all the ways fans have shared their love for the series, and the heartache over its end. "Thank you to everyone who has reached out. Thank you to everyone who’s been sharing what Destiny means to them," he says.

He adds that he's "passing these along to the team as they roll in. Photos, videos, art pieces, everything." I'm sure all of the developers who worked on either or both of the Destiny entries and are still at the studio will be more than happy to see the impact their work has had on so many around the world.

Among the thanks is a clear desire for Destiny 3. There's quite a lot of sequel chatter overall, including a petition for a third installment that has hundreds of thousands of signatures. Multiple voice actors are behind the campaign, perhaps hoping to put a little pressure on Bungie's owner Sony to greenlight another game.

Right now, I don't fancy anyone's odds of that, unfortunately. As it spins up ideas for future games, Bungie's now solely working on Marathon, an extraction that launched earlier this year, and it's been reported that considerable layoffs are expected after Destiny 2 gets its final update.

That update is Monument of Triumph, and it really does feel like the end of the road for the galactic shooter, some 12 years after Destiny itself first launched. Quite a journey; at least we still have the stars.

Grand Theft Auto 6's impending arrival has left other developers worried about how their own game will fare in the face of one of the most anticipated launches of all time. It looks like Remedy's new CEO, Jean-Charles Gaudechon, isn't one of them.

Chatting to The Game Business, Gaudechon is pretty sanguine about the whole thing, despite it serving as steep competition for any action game launching in 2026, including Control Resonant.

“It’s a year, I believe, that’s going to raise the tide,” Gaudechon says. “It’s going to put the spotlight even more on games than maybe in past years. Hopefully [GTA] will sell consoles. And raise the tide for all the players out there."

It's an optimistic perspective, but also a pretty practical one. While, yes, GTA 6 is going to be a massive launch, sucking all the oxygen out of the room, it's still just one game. Even with GTA Online, most players will finish the campaign and then be looking for new things.

I've pretty much shelved my PS5, but since that's going to be the only way I'll be able to play GTA 6, since the PC version hasn't even been announced yet, I'll be dusting off the console. Maybe a lot of you will be, as well. Which might also inspire you to keep playing on it, maybe picking up Control Resonant.

I suspect it's also going to attract folk who skipped this console generation initially. And they might stick around after.

“[For us], it’s less about trying to make your money back in a few days," Gaudechon says. "Now you’ve got multiple ways to have a longer tail. It’s going to be fun. You can expect quality from us. You can expect a voice that will cut through the noise. Expect us to be as loud as we can and hopefully pique people’s interest."

In the interview, Gaudechon also discussed the reaction to his appointment in February—there were concerns about his time at EA working on live service games and sports betting platforms—and the need to make cross-media deals to build up Remedy's franchises like Alan Wake and Control.

Have you ever watched a YouTube video and immediately screwed up your face in an attempt to discern whether it's real or AI-generated? Welcome to a daily part of my life. The good news is that YouTube has listened to user feedback, and as a result is moving AI disclosure labels for photorealistic and "meaningfully AI altered or generated" content to a "more prominent" position.

The bad news is, the labels look pretty tiny in the promo video. The AI warnings will now sit directly below the video player for long-form AI-generated videos, above the description. For short form, it's an actual overlay on the video itself. Which is indeed, a prominent position.

But yes, both versions still look like they'd be easy to miss. I suppose a big honking "THIS VIDEO IS BULL****" with red flashing warning signals on either side would be a bit much, but I'm not sure it does much to assuage fears that AI-generated videos are becoming harder to spot.

What might help a little more in this regard, though, is YouTube's other announcement—that "new internal signals" will be used to help identify AI-generated content.

YouTube creators are required to manually disclose when they use realistic AI, but I'm guessing that a fair few of them... don't. With the introduction of this tech, though, the platform says it will be able to automatically apply a label to anything with "significant photorealistic AI use."

"As this technology continues to improve, creators remain in control," says YouTube. "If a creator thinks their content was incorrectly identified as AI-generated, they can update the disclosure status in YouTube Studio.

"However, disclosures will remain permanent in a handful of cases, including: Content created using YouTube's own AI tools, like Veo or Dream Screen [and] content containing C2PA metadata indicating they were fully generative AI."

"Our goal is simple," the blog post continues. "Make it as easy as possible for creators and viewers to have the right information."

A noble goal, to be sure. However, in a world where YouTube dominates the online video market (and amid real concerns about the level of AI slop on the platform), this new labelling system feels like small potatoes. Very small potatoes indeed, come to think of it.
