TikTok looks to be taking further steps to embed games within the platform. This comes after recent acquisitions for the parent company. What might be the long term vision for TikTok? Could this potentially include cloud gaming in the future? Why does social media try so hard to inject gaming into it anyway? We dive into all this and much more, including some reflections from DarkSakura on the recent California Extreme expo that took place over the weekend. All this and much more on another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

In a story that reads like these Facebook ads that always show up on our feeds, there's another lawsuit being attempted against Steam. This one is in the UK, and addresses "price parity obligations" on the storefront. Do we think the lawsuit might have a point, or is it destined to end up changing nothing in the industry as other lawsuit attempts have before? We discuss this and much more on a quieter post-non-e3 week edition of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

Orange Lounge Radio 1008 - 6/16/2024

It is a very busy week in game announcements. Even though E3 is a thing of the past, this time of year still holds many announcement events, including Summer Games Fest, and the Xbox Showcase, both held in the last couple of days showing off many titles coming out for the rest of the year and well beyond. Do the layoffs that have happened in the industry cast a shadow over the events? We talk about this and what we might be looking forward to from the announcements. All this and much more round out another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

Orange Lounge Radio 1007 - 6/9/2024

We catch up on two weeks worth of news, including the big news we missed last week on Atari buying Intellivision. Okay it's a little more nuianced than that broad stroke, but we break down what it means for the future of Intellivison, and if perhaps there is a lot of good news that could come from this despite the troubled recent history of the Intellivision Amico. In more recent gaming news, Sony put out a State of Play update showing the latest and greatest games coming to the PS5 later this year. Did anything else catch our eye or was it all about Astro Bot? We talk about all this and much more on another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

Orange Lounge Radio 1006 - 6/2/2024

Sales Figures of the PlayStation 5 are in the press, and it turns out the PS5 isn't matching the sales numbers of the PS4. We talk about the possible reasons why there's a discrepancy, what makes the PS5 different from Playstations before it, and how it's all potentially having a trickle down effect on the industry that we are seeing now. Of course, there might be a game on the horizon to help really move sales of the PS5 (and Xbox Series as well). We talk about all this and much more in the week in video games, on another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

Orange Lounge Radio 1005 - 5/19/2024

We start this week with a major update that occurred not even 15 minutes after we got off the air last week on the Helldivers 2 story. Then we jump into the big news of the week out of Microsoft, and the stunning studio closures including Tango Gameworks, makers of the award nominated and winning Hi-Fi Rush. Why on earth would Microsoft close such a successful studio? We try to dig deep to figure out the reasons why, and take a closer look between the lines of some of the executive comments out of Microsoft.
