There is good news for the community regarding Destiny 2. The Austrian YouTuber Andy Edition has eased concerns, as his channel on YouTube is apparently no longer at immediate risk of being deleted. The YouTuber plans to start uploading videos on YouTube again soon.
This is what Andy Edition says: As the YouTuber Andy Edition told MeinMMO, his precarious situation on YouTube seems to have calmed down. Just a few days ago, it looked like his channel was on the verge of being deleted because he allegedly violated “community guidelines” on YouTube.
