Amazon Lays Off 180 Employees In Its Games Division - Aftermath
Video game workers just can't catch a break

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?
They made New World and were supposedly working on a LOTR MMO.
Didn't New Worlds turn into a ghost town month after launch?
Yeah it cratered pretty hard, but they have been adding content to the game. Launch was a buggy clusterfuck.
I played at launch and yeah the bugs is what drove most people away. They were exploited pretty hard, there was like a 4 or 5 day period there where 3 seperate dupes were discovered and they didn't do any roll backs
I bought new world, never actually played it, I had tried the beta and said well this seems cool and got it then never played it at launch
Might wanna get to it eventually before Amazon shuts it down
Cuz it was killing gpus
