From the topic title I thought they made a new show based on the play which is surprisingly a worse idea than whatever this game could be lol

Amazon has wasted so much money on video games and this is basically all they have to show for it.

Looks like Amazon just gave an engineer a pile of money to make games that showcase AWS somehow.

tbqh, if amazon wants to be a game developer, they really need to put a game out on all platforms to at least raise their visibility as a developer.

It's kinda like amazon prime video vs something like a netflix

Interesting article on Amazons utter failure at breaking into the games market

essentially theyre just throwing money at making the biggest games possible right away instead of trying to grow into it

Wow. What a shit company. Makes sense why they cannot break into the gaming industry if they're just trying to buy their way into it like the article states.

It was released in May, no one was playing it within a week, and they un-released it in June. Its been closed beta since then

Well there you go.
Amazon in thinking "Competitive online + paid cosmetics = money!!" without actually bothering to make the game any good. It's the same "push it out" mentality that destroyed Atari (and nearly an entire industry) back in 1983.

It would be like someone browsing through an old TV Guide, to figure out how to make a TV show.

I don't know if quality is even really the problem. It's a very, very competitive genre with many games that already have people hooked. Nothing about Crucible stands out. Being generic is a death sentence for any online focused game even if the gameplay is fun. Look at Lawbreakers.

If no one even bothers to play the game it doesn't really matter if the gameplay is good or not.

Lawbreakers was a real shame. That game was really good. But once it was released, no one cared. It also didn't help that they changed their business model twice.
That's why private servers (or at least LAN) should be allowed to happen, but the incessant need to "monetize" means they can't.
