Bungie's head of product tells Destiny fans not to buy Marathon as a donation

Bungie head of product Josh Deane posted on X on October 30 that "in no way is the Destiny plan contingent upon Marathon," and asked players not to buy Marathon as a donation to keep Destiny going. Some players had read a recent Bungie leadership update, which said nothing could help bridge the studio's future more than Marathon becoming sustainable, as meaning Destiny 2's plans depended on Marathon's sales. Deane took the blame for the confusion ("that's on me"), according to GamesRadar+ and Forbes.

VRChat rules out an AI-generated label even though 95% of survey respondents asked for one

In an October 28 post on its official forum, VRChat said 95% of the 21,595 people who answered its AI survey wanted some kind of AI label, but they could not agree on how it should work, so it will not add an AI-generated tag or AI filters. The team argued that a label would be easy to dodge and could encourage creators to be harassed. Instead it plans likes and dislikes on worlds (aimed for the end of 2026 or early 2027), multi-image world galleries in the first half of 2027 and stricter rules against misleading thumbnails, while a 'Human-authored' mark is only being considered. New threads demanding a filter kept appearing on the forum through today.

Anthropic confirms Claude Code now steers users away from recreating existing games

Anthropic added two sentences to Claude Code's prompt on Opus 5.5 to discourage building recreations of a specific existing game, technical staff member Addy Osmani said in a statement an Anthropic spokesperson pointed Game Developer to on October 30. Osmani said using Claude to infringe IP is against the company's usage policy, while original games, genre games and games built from a user's own designs and assets are meant to keep working. The change was first spotted by X user Chasm around October 27; the exact rule text comes from that report, not from Anthropic.

FromSoftware takes Dark Souls II and Dark Souls III online servers down on every platform

FromSoftware said on its official support account on October 30 (07:01 UTC) that it had found a problem with the game servers for Dark Souls II and Dark Souls III and is stopping them on all platforms, taking the games' online features offline. The studio gave no cause and no return date, saying only that it will post a separate notice once a recovery timeline is known. The outage comes two days after scheduled Dark Souls II server maintenance; any link to a security issue is player speculation, not something FromSoftware has said.
