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.

Did not realize that was Amazon, I think I played it for 5 or 10 minutes.

I think they're just the Western publisher for it; they didn't actually have a hand in developing it as far as I know.

Crucible was another one. A battle royale turned hero shooter that came and went in the same year.

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?

Ask me how surprised I am.

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.
