Summary
Amazon is cutting over 180 jobs in its Amazon Games division and shutting down parts of the business that focus on streaming and supporting third-party games. The company will be putting more emphasis on developing its own titles and will focus on upcoming launches such as "Throne and Liberty" and "Blue Protocol." The decision was made after extensive considerations and planning for the future. This comes as Amazon's CEO, Andy Jassy, has been in cost-cutting mode over the past year, resulting in the largest layoffs in the company's history.
