Orange Lounge Radio

Rob missed doing a show last week as he was attending Final Fantasy XIV Fan Fest! This weeks show starts off with him talking about his experiences at the show and about the new expansion. However there's plenty of other games to talk about too, and some big news that came up while we were out, including the fact that Sony plans to skip E3 2019. Is this bad for Sony? For E3? Or is it really not a big deal whatsoever? We discuss along with our LIVE participants.
