They are also working on a LotR MMO. Other than that... I got nothing.
Two mmos seems like an odd decision, why make competing products, especially in a field that requires player time dedication like mmos
For one, New World is almost dead.
Probably because the field is already saturated and dominated. New world was big for a minute tho
It was, I played it while I had Covid. My company was so large it split twice. Last time I logged in no one else had been online in over six months and there were only like half of the members still in it.
I would expect a lot of the greenlighting comes from people not too deeply involved in gaming so market saturation probably was not even a factor in their decision making. New World also suffered heavily from that (plus all the bugs and other issues at launch).
They probably would have fared better had they built a name in a Genre first instead of diving head first into one of the most competitive niches in gaming with 2 projects.
Crucible was another one. A battle royale turned hero shooter that came and went in the same year.
Lost Ark?
Did not realize that was Amazon, I think I played it for 5 or 10 minutes.
There was a game's division?
Yup and every thing they produced was hot garbage.
Time to shut it the fuck down.
On the one hand, it's surprising that Amazon has a games division. On the other hand, if it's surprising that Amazon has a games division, it really can't be a surprise that they're laying people off.
Ask me how surprised I am.
How surprised are you?
I am not surprised.
Didn't they just make one game, that had an error that occasionally burned out Nvidia cards?
The only thing I've ever done on Amazon Games was link it to PSN so I would get periodic cash in GTAV online.
