Amazon Lays Off 180 Employees In Its Games Division - Aftermath
Video game workers just can't catch a break
I'll be honest, I am quite surprised they had 180 workers left there after the continuous stream of tepid stuff they've put out over time.
Still, sucks for the people working there, becuase I bet a lot of them at least started really driven and motivated before corporate ground their will down.
Another example of under funded giant corporate projects and then shocked Pikachu that they aren't wildly profitable. They'll never understand you can make a wildly profitable game, but it requires investment
Or just y'know: provide a service, make a profit, provide people with stable jobs, keep on going. I know it sounds crazy, but you don't have to have all the money...
It does require some actual inspiration as well. Companies are setting up production lines and wondering why solid gold doesn't just plop out the end when they switch it on.
Amazon has a games division?
For only $20, the new Amazon Basics Grand Theft Auto.
I would play that.
Had. Briefly.
I’m not understanding. As this is the first I’ve ever heard of this, I went to their site and it looks like freebies for games you play and games from other developers.
Did Amazon make their own games? If not, what were these 180 workers doing exactly?
That didn't last long
