Amazon has announced massive layoffs affecting more than 14,000 corporate employees — the largest wave of layoffs in the company's history. Among the affected divisions are Amazon Games, the Twitch streaming service, and Amazon Web Services.
According to Bloomberg, the main cuts will affect offices in Irvine and San Diego, as well as the central publishing division. The company plans to reduce the development of large-budget projects, especially multiplayer online games.
We are proud of our success in AAA game development and publishing, but have made the difficult decision to stop a significant portion of the work. This includes significant role reductions in our studios in Irvine and San Diego, as well as in the central publishing team.
