2022

2022 is a common year starting on Saturday (Dominical Letter B). It is the 22nd year of the 21st century and 3rd millennium and the 3rd year of the 2020's decade.

2022 hosted many events that were cancelled in 2020 and 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the year saw the lifting of restrictions relating to it. This year is also known for the formation of Zippy Holdings LLC and PBLOG Group following the ATBW Antitrust Lawsuit from December 2020. Zippy Holdings now owns ATBW Store, Zippy Land, Zippy Land Essentials, Ozone Speakers, ATBW Store Cafe, and Pido's Pizza Place LLC, while PBLOG Group owns both ATBW Blog and PBLOG, and this year also marks the end of ATBW's video game console industry after thirty nine years. The ATBW A8 was first released in 1983 and several more consoles were released after that. The ATBW C8 and the ATBW Terradon were discontinued on June 3, 2022, which placed an end to the company's video game console industry.
