Not directly linux gaming, but still think that its kind of relevant and interesting.

Amazon already got serious several years ago, invested tons of money in their dev studios, bought huge licences, recruited talented people and still mostly failed to this day. I remember reading an article about Amazon's very hierarchical corporate structure that killed any attempt at the creativity needed to make a successful game but I can't seem to find it

I don't believe for a second that any of these big tech companies have a chance of making a significant dent in the videogame market, it's just too far from their own expertise

Yeah, would make sense that Amazon’s “disposable” approach to employees would fuck them over with something like this.
