Amazon Games VP Departs [Mar 26, 2022, 1:08 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Mike Frazzini is leaving Amazon after 18 years at the company, 13 of them in
games.
Bloomberg's report (may require registration or subscription) calls him the head of Amazon Game Studios, while his
LinkedIn Profile calls
him VP, Amazon Games. Confirming the news, he's posted
a farewell message on his profile:
Yesterday, we announced internally that I will be leaving Amazon. After almost 13 years in games, and almost 18 years at the company, my last day will be 4/29. It’s always been in my head to take time off in the middle of my career to spend time with family (before kids are off to college), and to pursue some personal interests while my knees and back are still (relatively) healthy. I have no idea where things will lead from here (maybe even back to Amazon someday) - but I’m excited for the adventure.
And while there’s never really a perfect time to step away from a great role, now is a good time. We’ve launched two top 10 games in the past six months, and have a growing portfolio of promising new games in the pipeline. Prime Gaming is on a strong trajectory, providing more and more great content to players worldwide who are members of Amazon Prime. And we have some newer initiatives that are gaining real traction. Plus importantly, each of these teams are led by excellent leaders. The future is very bright for Amazon Games.
As for my time at Amazon, I am just amazed by what I’ve had a chance to work on, and the people I’ve had a chance to work with. Amazon is a rare and special place for builders - bold strategies, wildly talented (and committed) people, endless pursuit of operational excellence, and *extreme* customer centricity. It’s one heck of a place, and has been one heck of a ride.

They really need to put whoever is in charge of AriZona iced tea in control of inflation...

A lot of forums do it in similar fashion to preserve SQL integrity.
AFAIK most actually just null the record and hide them--but some kind of record is still there.

I like Spam (rule 5)...;) I can only wish all forums would invoke it. I think the only thing it memorializes is the stupidity of the poster. Maybe Blue should include an animation of a jackass braying wherever rule 5 is applied...;)
It is well known that I cannot err--and so, if you should happen across an error in anything I have written you can be absolutely sure that *I* did not write it!...;)

It probably wouldn't be trivial, even though I agree that it would "clean up" the threads. We've been hit by several spammers in recent weeks. It usually isn't this bad.Sarah wrote on Mar 26, 2022, 19:52:Why not just delete obvious fraud accounts, along with all the spam messages they encompass, altogether.... rather than leaving the markers that memorialize and seemingly legitimize them?

Really not sure how banning a spammer and * REMOVAL * of spam posts either legitimizes or memorializes them.

Amazon games has been around for 13 years? Wth hell have they been doing all that time?
Fire Phone Games (Ha!), then Lumberyard (Harder Ha!), then a bunch of failed games with Lumberyard, The Grand Tour Game (oof), Crucible (also oof), finally released New World (all right), then started publishing Lost Ark in the West (pretty good). They are getting there, but slowly. Having someone like Frazzini at the head might of been a passable idea when they wanted to make Fire Phone games, but he has been drowning since the Fire Phone died.
More than a decade of incompetence... bail when some of the crap thrown against the wall actually sticks. That's called selling high, from his perspective.

Perfect time to leave. Get all the credit, take a little blame....enjoy life for a bit....come back and see what they did with the place later on.
