Streamers for one popular game are going "on strike" in response to a download content system that is gambling. Is it fair for a game that charges full price, in a series that is released every year, to continue to milk gambling DLC for profits? We discuss this and offer our suggestions for how the game makers can do better. Gambling is also front and center on Twitch this week, as Twitch quickly responds to issues large streamers raised around gambling on the platform. However, why did they respond so fast to this comparatively to other issues brought up months ago, such as hate raids. All this and more make up another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!
