Hello there, and welcome to this week’s edition of The Game Business Micro.
I took a short break last week, so I’ve also been playing catch-up on the week’s news. And it was quite a noisy week, with multiple financial results, Amazon making major cuts to its video game teams, and Google complying with the courts to open up its Play Store.
Lots to chat about. Let’s dive in.
Amazon cuts back games as part of wider restructure
In Brief: Amazon has cut back on a ‘significant amount’ of its AAA game development. The cuts are primarily around its MMO projects, with two titles in particular affected: New World: Aeternum (released in 2021) and the unreleased Lord of the Rings MMO.
