Many changes within the game industry seem to be upon us. On last weeks episode, it was about the future of streaming games. However what about the way that we buy games? One major game companies decision to pull digital game redemption cards from stores (keeping monetary value cards) could shift one interesting change in retail. Was this something we used often? Our hosts and our live listeners definitely have some varying opinions. Tune in for this and MORE of the week's news!Also in the news:* Borderlands 3 Announced* Job Postings unveil a new Zelda is likely in the works* Sega Genesis Mini* Kaz Hirai to retire from SonyAll this and more on the show where EVERY gamer has a voice-- Orange Lounge Radio!LIVE on the VOG Network, Sunday nights at 6 Pacific, 9 Eastern www.vognetwork.comTwitter: @olrMailbag: participate (at) orangeloungeradio dot com

Our live show goes up against the Oscars, which is a coincidence of sorts when we start our show off talking about movies being sold on Steam, and how Valve plans to phase that out. It is an interesting parallel where music and movie industries have found themselves recently, and where the gaming industry could find itself in the not too distant future. If big rumors from companies like Microsoft and Nintendo are to be believed, it could be the start of a whole new era of gaming.
