I remember dropping Overwatch when the League was being established and before GOATS was starting to become more relevant. The game basically started to rely heavily on shields and crowd control skills while basically neutering DPS units until they essentially became downright unneeded to progress competitively. This shift in focus was essentially a catalyst for the downfall of Overwatch. Not helping things were the myriad of controversies that Activision Blizzard was finding itself in....

There has been no official announcement regarding this, but it seems like upcoming Heroes might be locked once Overwatch 2 releases.

The fourth main entry in the series by Atlus was among the unsupported Steam Deck games, which was likely due to it not running well on Linux, so the fact that it is now a Steam Deck Verified game suggests that work has been done to improve the situation on Proton.

The reality is, Sony and Microsoft are in very different places business-wise. Microsoft is in a position to use a big game like Halo Infinite to build up their subscription service.

Will Sony eventually start sending their games straight to PS Plus?...

In the aftermath of its Ukraine invasion, the Russian Federation is subsidizing its largest semiconductor manufacturer to ensure that the factories keep running. Russia’s invasion,w which started in February this year, resulted in heavy sanctions against the country by the United States. These have hampered its ability to manufacture semiconductors, as chip fabrication is heavily dependent on imports.
