Unfortunately, with major tech industry layoffs this week, the game industry was not immune to having layoffs within it as well. We know 343 Studios at Microsoft was impacted, as well as many other places throughout the industry.

I was a host at Awesome Games Done Quick 2023 Online, which raised over $2.6 Million for the Prevent Cancer Foundation. SGDQ will take place the last week of May instead of the last week of June, but no word on venue yet. I go through all of the runs I hosted for this event, as well as some other runs that I enjoyed. Google is shutting Stadia down this week, but they are unlocking the controller's Bluetooth antenna so people aren't left with a paperweight.

Changes to YouTube policies effected many gaming content creators this week. Is it right to change the rules that were in place for so long and retroactively apply them to content that has been made? YouTube isn't the only company being faced with this question this week, as Wizards of the Coast makes controversial changes to Dungeons and Dragons that have people concerned for the future. D&D has inspired many video games, so we update ourselves on this controversy and what it could mean for a larger industry. All this, our gaming weeks, and much more on another week of the show where every gamer has a voice, Orange Lounge Radio!

We start off talking about Awesome Games Done Quick 2023 and my hosting assignments. We got a viewer comment about their games of the year for 2022. Nvidia is relaunching the RTX 4080 12GB as the RTX 4070 Ti, something more fitting for the chipset. You can get a PS5 now, according to Sony! The shortages are over. Does Microsoft REALLY not know when Call of Duty first came out, as some articles have suggested? The answer is more complicated. EA has stated that 60% of Madden Franchise saves were wiped due to a storage issue in the cloud. Then we talk to Rob about Arcade1up cabinets and if he has beaten my Tron score yet again.

And we're back from break! On our first show of the year... What's been going on with Pokémon?! Mako-chan fills us in! Anime NYC's founder Peter Tatara leaves for a new role, Production IG and Studio Khara collab for Kaiju No.8, Aya Hirano discusses some of the harassment she endured in the industry, and Netflix grabs the rights for the live action My Hero Academia! Meanwhile in Japan, an update on the teacher that used a store bathroom for self-pleasure, a politician in trouble for doing pullups in the train, and cherries hit a record breaking sales in an auction? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/animejamsession/support

It's our first show of 2023, and we start by not just taking a look back at the prior year, 2022, but make some predictions for 2023. Some are silly, and some are very real, we will check in to see how we did at the end of the year. With Consumer Electronics Show having happened this week, we also have some gaming news to get into, as a new year in gaming with some big new game releases gets underway. All this, and much MORE including talk about yes, the weather, on another episode of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!
