Aerith’s death (spoilers) in the original Final Fantasy VII was one hell of an emotional ordeal.

And yet despite being 11 years into its run as a live-service game, it still has a thriving fanbase, thanks to a crucial combination of community goodwill and a game that’s legitimately fun to play and is always getting cool, new stuff. But for those considering jumping in, Warframe can look pretty dense and unapproachable. In some ways that’s true, but in other ways it couldn’t be further from the truth. - Lucas White Read More
