She became a gamer for life at 8, thanks to a copy of Pokemon Red and her Game Boy. Her passion for games was combined with work when she came across GameRant in 2021, so she started her career in video game writing.
Andrea loves games where she's tasked with thinking strategically. She has an obscene amount of hours in Path of Exile (almost 8,000 on Steam), over 2,000 hours in Destiny 2, probably around 10,000 hours in Pokemon games, which she always completes the Pokedex of and tries to fill the shiny Pokedex too, 100% completion in multiple RPGs of various kinds, like Borderlands 2 and 3, Oblivion (and Oblivion Remastered), she plays MMOs religiously (especially World of Warcraft), and she has a vast experience in playing and building decks for Magic: The Gathering, Pokemon TCG Pocket, and Disney Lorcana.
Andrea has extensive professional experience as a translator and ghostwriter. She has a BA in Psychology from 2015, a Master's Degree in Communication & Translation from 2016, and a Master's Degree in Copywriting & Advertising from 2019.
One of Andrea's favorite articles for GameRant is about Pokemon Violet probably outselling Pokemon Scarlet, which is what happened. One of the articles she's most proud of is about The Last of Us 2's Ellie and the game's perpetual cycle of revenge.

Fans who want to celebrate the Destiny franchise can do so on June 17 in a Warframe mission dedicated to Bungie's IP. The "SaveDestiny" and "WeWantDestiny3" hashtags have been extremely popular on social media platforms after the announcement that Destiny 2 was getting its final update on June 9. On that day, thousands of fans logged into the game to send a message to Sony and Bungie leadership and show that there are still myriad people who care about Destiny and want the franchise to continue.

As a result, Destiny 2 reached its highest player peak of the last two years with over 167,000 players, surpassing that of the launch day for both Edge of Fate and Renegades combined, and doubling that of Marathon on Steam alone. The support for the franchise is not stopping, and today, there are more than 110,000 concurrent players on Steam. This is also one of the biggest and best updates Destiny 2 has ever gotten, and fans are hoping their actions will help save the game or the franchise. Now, Warframe is giving its own nod to the legendary game on June 17.

Destiny 2 Players Attempting 'Server Slam' to Send a Message to Sony

For the final update, Destiny 2 players are organizing a community server slam to smash Marathon's concurrent player count and send a message to Sony.

Destiny 2 Players Can Celebrate the Franchise in Warframe

Rebecca Ford, Creative Director of Warframe, known as rebb ford on social media, shared a post on Twitter to announce that Warframe will have a free, playable event on June 17 that quietly pays tribute to Destiny. Though Warframe and the event have no official ties to Bungie or PlayStation, nor any say on whether the series will continue, it's a respectful nod to the Bungie series. The event is rich in significance for Destiny 2 players, as it takes place as an Alert on the planet Telesto and grants players the cosmetic title (honoria) "Make Your Own Fate." This is a double homage to the game, as Destiny 2's Telesto gun has famously broken the game with bugs multiple times, and "Guardians make their own fate" has become a motto for the community.

The phrase originated in Destiny's Vault of Glass Raid, as the activity's main enemy race was the Vex, who base their strategy on simulating their enemies and defeating them once they find their weak spot. However, Guardians are paracausal beings, and they can't be simulated. This is why "Guardians make their own fate," as they transcend the Vex's simulations, and the sentence has been used by some as a way to defy Sony's decision to put the franchise down. Rebecca Ford hasn't shared details about the Warframe Alert tribute just yet, but fans of the Destiny franchise have yet another opportunity to celebrate the game they love on June 17.

Looking beyond Warframe, the Destiny community has been very vocal. YouTube content creators of the caliber of Aztecross, FalloutPlay, Mactics, and Skarrow9 are promoting the hashtags on social media and their platforms. Bungie devs have been even more present on social media with personal stories and comments about the situation. Voice actors have shared messages for players and in support of the franchise. And on top of that, the official Destiny 3 petition has blown up and has almost 380,000 signatures at the moment.

Whether this support results in Destiny 3 being made or Destiny 2 being continued in some way remains to be seen. However, the Warframe community has shown up time and again for Destiny's darkest hour, and the upcoming event that unofficially honors the franchise is further proof of that.
