However it's some recent comments from former gaming executive Shawn Layden that have us discussing in the news tonight which comments on things going wrong in the game industry.

We discuss all this and much more on another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!Nintendo finally announces new hardware! However it's not what you might have been hoping for, unless you wanted a new device to watch you sleep. That's right, the Alarmo was announced by Nintendo, and although not a video game itself, it certainly has an effect on video game culture with all of the Nintendo nostalgia this alarm clock packs. It's an interesting way to ensure hardware sales for the holiday, and we talk about this and much more news, including a gigantic hack and subsequent leak of a major Nintendo partner. All this and more round out another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!A study has confirmed what we thought was pretty obvious - More players prefer single player games over multiplayer games. Is part of the industry problem that more money seems to be chased in multiplayer games? We discuss this, as well as times when we enjoy multiplayer as much as single player (it happens), as well as when we don't. This headline and much more make up another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!DarkSakura and LOKI are back from Twitch Con, and share their experiences and what they saw.

Of course we still have plenty of game news to get into tonight, including the announcement of the PS5 Pro. At a $700 price tag with no disc drive, is there going to be a market for this? Or is it possible Nintendo of all companies could shift all of the eyes to them in the coming weeks?

We discuss all this and much more in a week of video game news on another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge RadioGamescom is this upcoming week and good news, it's confirmed we are going to see some NEW GAMES.

Also in the news, Steam (whose owner Valve is testing one of the worst kept secrets in gaming right now) announced some policy updates that could change the way reviews and game descriptions work.
