I visited a new pinball arcade in Atlanta, and noticing a new trend in "Eatertainment" venues to bring back Third Spaces to society. Retailers are starting to drop physical releases, which means that game preservation is going to become much more difficult as time goes on for modern day titles. Spec Ops: The Line is an impactful military shooter that wasn't a commercial success, but now you can't buy it anymore as it has been delisted on all the digital storefronts. (Since it has a physical release, you can still buy a copy used, though!) Then we take some time to talk about Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth and Persona 3 Reload, since OLR was not happening due to a power outage.

We were unexpectedly out last week due to storms, and BOY did we come back to a ton of rumors about what's going on at Microsoft. Could there be truth to the rumor that Microsoft is about to exit the hardware business? Or is this just about Starfield and a couple other games going to PS5? As usual, clickbait driven YouTubers blow everything out of proportion. We take a minute to review what we know and what we speculate could be forthcoming. As Phil Spencer has mentioned more information this week, we could have a lot more to dissect on our next show.

Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth is out, and has been taking up all of my evenings. While the game is great, there are some people that take issue with the fact that New Game Plus is locked behind DLC. Palworld is the new hotness, and The Pokemon Company had to make a statement saying they'd check to see if there was any IP infringement. Microsoft announced that they were laying off 1900 people from the Xbox gaming divisions, including many at the recently acquired Activision Blizzard. Then we talked to Rob about the game industry layoffs and how hard it is to be an enthusiast right now.

In what has become a disturbing trend in 2024's gaming industry, a large amount of layoffs happened at Microsoft this week, largely impacting Activision/Blizzard as the result of their merger. While some redundancy is expected, the cancelation of a project that Blizzard had been working on for six years compounded the situation. How do we remain enthusiastic about the games industry when this news never seems to end? Why does it keep happening? We discuss all this and much more on another episode the longest running weekly podcast about video games, Orange Lounge Radio!

Awesome Games Done Quick 2024 raised over $2.5 Million for the Prevent Cancer Foundation!

Then we talk to Rob about all of the gaming news I missed, specifically the emergence of a game that wasn't known before I left for AGDQ - Palworld.
