Overwatch 2 players are eulogising out-of-action hero Bastion as if he'd died

Alas, poor Bastion! It was only meant to be temporary, Blizzard said. The robot hero was withdrawn from all play modes, and hasnt been seen since. Someone evenwrote him a song. Blizzard even gave him a nice little hat, too.

The 16GB version will still release as planned on November 16th. “Having two GPUs with the 4080 designation is confusing. So, were pressing the “unlaunch” button on the 4080 12GB.” “Its not named right” is one way of putting it. Cancelling the launch outright still seems like drastic measure, particularly with release day only one month away.

Shoving that on your 65" 4K TV always seemed a bit overkill. Basically, I never got into Persona 5 when it first launched on PS4....
