Amazon is rumoured to be releasing an Android console soon. VG247′s Dave Cook ponders the rumours and asks if the industry really needs another box at market.
Company will downsize development efforts
Hardcore Gamer sat down with Roxanne Sabo of Amazon Game Studios to talk about Tier 4 and beyond.
Another veteran executive is leaving Amazon.com Inc.’s video game division, which has struggled to produce big hits since it launched a decade ago.
Amazon and Google both trillion dollar companies failed to enter the gaming market. It’s not as easily as many think.
These companies think because they have money that they can just Waltz right into gaming? Sorry, it doesn't work that way.
Not sure why anyone is concerned with Google, Amazon and Apple in the main video game market. They clearly lack focus and inspiration
Well Its no wonder when you see the stuff they do with games. Google wanted to introduce a cheap console that required internet connection to play streamed games that weren't even local to the harddrive. Apple still wants simplified, data mining, touch screen mobile games spread far and wide. Everyone was really interested in Blue Protocol right up until Amazon was announced to be involved and the trailer was released with all the same tired and crappy ESG changes they made to the game. I hear they had a similar influence on Lost Ark but I don't know the details.
They all try to push some varying idea that is either anti consumer or just undesirable in one form or another.
