The move is one of many by Amazon to lock up talent in the high end of the game business
Amazon needs to keep their gaming division to twitch and shipping. What a moronic decision.
They have multiple games in development and their own engine, so even without hiring Smed they wouldn't be just a Twitch and shipping gaming division.
Recently an ex-dev high up at Rockstar North ditched and founded his own thing. He's planning to use Amazon's engine to make a new open world game that I assume bears some resemblance to GTA.
Sell what game? It hasn't been made yet. Yea, he sued them. I don't know how "worthless" he is. I'll judge the game he makes on its own merits.
I think you're projecting.
I do wonder. You seem to have given up on wondering and have made a decision. I don't care that much either way. I want a good game to play, and I hope he makes one.
No, it doesn't. Given the nonsense we've seen from gaming companies it could be too many things to bother speculating about. If he makes a good game I'll play it.
