    Companies like meta and Amazon can’t be trusted with gaming, it’s just a silly side project to them. If I was working at a studio acquired by either I would be shit scared for the studios longevity.

      I remember when Amazon went all-in on gaming. Everyone was skeptical, and they partnered up with so many Asian companies.

      Then they pulled out. Then they pulled back in. And now they’re kinda in a weird place.

            Yeah, I eventually found a Wikipedia page about Amazon Game Studios, they still exist and make games, and it looks like they only make mediocre stuff even when they have chances to make something interesting (like King of Meat, that seems to be a well received game, but has awful name, is too pricey, and is almost unknown, making the online too small)
