We’ll start off with Meta and its unveiling of the Quest Pro during this year’s Connect 2022 showcase.

Overwatch 2’s launch is threatening to go down as one of the worst the industry has seen as players continue to protest against bugs and horrible monetisation. It’s even worse for Bastion mains as well, as the lovable little robot has been completely removed from the game in order to fix a pretty game-breaking bug that allowed him to spam his artillery strikes. He’s not the only Hero to be removed either, as Torbjorn has also been pulled due to an exploit in his Overload ability.
