Amazon Remains Committed to Game Development [Feb 03, 2021, 8:16 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A
story on Bloomberg says that Andy Jassy, Amazon's next CEO, says he's
committed to making video games, despite the tech giants so-far failed ambitions
in the sector. Here's word:
One day before he was named the next chief executive officer of Amazon.com Inc., Andy Jassy reaffirmed his commitment to making video games while acknowledging the stark challenges the team has faced, according to an email to staff reviewed by Bloomberg.
Jassy expressed support for Mike Frazzini, the head of Amazon Game Studios and the subject of a Bloomberg profile last week examining the troubles the company has faced in gaming. The story was based on interviews with more than 30 current or former Amazon employees. Both executives sent emails to their staff this week referencing the article, saying the accounts were exaggerated but recognizing that they had made mistakes.
“Some businesses take off in the first year, and others take many years,” wrote Jassy, currently the head of Amazon’s cloud computing division and Frazzini’s boss. “Though we haven’t consistently succeeded yet in AGS, I believe we will if we hang in there.”

You know how the penny slots folks just pick some machines and drop pennies until they win?
That's Amazon and gaming.

You know you are in trouble when the people with money behind you publish press releases saying that they are absolutely committed to your work/job. And you know the best soundtrack is Metallica's For Whom The Bell Tolls.

No matter how much money you have, sometimes you need to throw in the towel just to save face and stop embarrassing yourself (image actually has value). Does anyone remember their foray into the smartphone market with the Fire phone? What a disaster that was.
Given their track record to date, I'm not holding out much hope for the Lord of the Rings MMORPG they announced some years ago.

I would like to see them expand into gaming video cards. We need more of them stat.
Amazon Basics 3070 and 6800, I could easily see buying one of those.
Unfortunately that'll be the last thing Amazon ever does, start making high end hardware. Not much profit to be had except for scalpers.

Well, this certainly seems like a stupid position. Of course, Amazon has successfully expanded into pretty much every industry, so why not eventually game development too?
Still, how fucking greedy does a corporation need to be, to have to expand into everything?
Welcome to capitalism, where you're only worth as much as you can increase your company's stonk price by.
Still, how fucking greedy does a corporation need to be, to have to expand into everything?Well, it's pretty common business theory: money unused is money wasted, and Amazon has shitloads of money.
I mean, what else are they going to do, increase worker wages? pffft
