Big news for MMO fans hit this weekend with the reveal of more details for Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker. While the details of the game sound great for fans of the game, it was one special announcement made at the end of the Fan Festival that really shocked the community and has us thinking about the special bond from gaming communities that goes far beyond this one title. Also you know we have some big Mass Effect fans as hosts on the show? What are their impressions of the latest Mass Effect game? Some things may surprise you... All this and much more on another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

The big courtroom battle going on in the gaming industry has spilled secrets all around the industry. No wonder people like to settle out of court, as much of the testimony and exhibits have unveiled some secrets in the industry. Who did Epic try to pay to get their games on their store? How much did they pay for some of those exclusives? We got the details on all this and more this week. It's not all courtroom drama this week though, as Nintendo announced a new game that's coming out in just 5 weeks that has people excited!

A pair of stories about Twitch start off our show tonight, as twitch has become such an important part of gaming culture. This doesn't stop one cable talk show host from shading it though as being about just watching people play video games, but to us is it more than that? Also, an interesting study on moderation on Twitch has led to the conclusion that they need to have more moderation. How can Twitch effectively do this? We talk about all this and more on another week of the show where every gamer has a voice!

Hey, I heard you like gaming stores, so we're going to put a gaming store inside your gaming store! We talk about the news that itch.io is coming to the Epic Games store, but is this really a store within a store, or is this more of a move by Epic to build out an app marketplace to attempt to compete with other app marketplaces? We discuss this, and much more as this isn't the only gaming store making headlines this week!

Rumors were spread online this week that SquareEnix was considered for acquisition by other companies, but in a rare rebuke, SquareEnix has denied the story. Why would something like this be spread online? We discuss the issue and if someone was perhaps trying to manipulate the stock, especially in a day and age where more of us are getting into stock trading. We don't stop there though as there's plenty of news to get into for the week!
