Other than New World, i cannot think of any Amazon games.
- 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
- 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.
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.
There was a game's division?
- Yup and every thing they produced was hot garbage.
  
  Time to shut it the fuck down.
Didn't they just make one game, that had an error that occasionally burned out Nvidia cards?
Ask me how surprised I am.
- How surprised are you?
  
  I am not surprised.
The only thing I've ever done on Amazon Games was link it to PSN so I would get periodic cash in GTAV online.
