Destiny-Themed GuardianCon Has Already Raised Over $1 Million For St Judes
This year marks the third annual GuardianCon, a two-day community convention built out of a Destiny Twitch streamer meet-up that aims to raise money for charitable organizations by playing and talking about games. The organization has already rasied over $1 Million for St Judes and that number is still climbing.
You might not be familiar with GuardianCon, but this seems to be its breakout year, and the show could keep growing. This year the show's activities range from a week-long broadcast marathon featuring various content creators and game developers, discussion panels, vendors, live music, gaming stations, and PvP tournaments. You can check out the full schedule here. The convention runs from June 30 to July 1 in the Tampa, Florida Expo Hall, so you might still have time to go (or donate) if you hurry.
Our Take
One million dollars is a pretty significant amount of money, and the show hasn't even officially started yet. It's great to see peole who love playing games come together to do something good for other people.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
