gw2 has some great areas providing a base with a lot of potential. i just don't think it properly was exploited in these few areas. They came close. there were some good periods and are! don't get me wrong. it just went bad like reddit. these good areas remain, but it's got too much rewarding of simps and not enough listening.

timppu: I heard they made some pretty successful online store or sumthing.
Oh yeah, and then some cloud computing network thingamaling, which is supposed to be pretty rad as well. ASW or AWS or was it even WASD?
Orkhepaj: are those good? Oh yeah, and then some cloud computing network thingamaling, which is supposed to be pretty rad as well. ASW or AWS or was it even WASD?
there are dozens of similar sell sites
So I guess many people (companies) like to use AWS, it is a bit like Windows of cloud networks, while MS Azure is Linux and Google is MacOS.

I don't understand what you're saying (probably language barrier).
Marketing is about promoting and selling products or services. If you mean that Amazon have signed up games developers to drive people to use other Amazon services, then yes, they're probably doing that. Is it a bad thing or will it inevitably fail? Probably not. It depends whether the developers are allowed to exercise creative freedom (the recent Microsoft model of developer acquisition) or whether Amazon act like Electronic Arts. Either way, it's Amazon's money - they can do what they want with it. There are plenty of developers producing terrible games, independent of where the money comes from.
Yep - AWS is a massive money spinner. It's the profit engine that drives Amazon. There's currently more revenue from the shop, but let's be honest, as the trite saying goes "Revenue is vanity, profit is sanity".

Breja: Stolen, I think, by some hackers. No idea if it leaked anywhere. Anyway, you think this somehow concerns me?
Crevurre: You made an anti-leaker anti-info comment here. xD As usual, your reading comprehension is as poor as your writing skills.

I actually thought that this was the shorthand for New World Computing. And I was wondering what the developers are up to now, or if they had been resurrected. ^_^;

Sachys: I'm skeptical of anything the OP says given they routinely complain about the lack of "insider information" on this forum.
Crosmando: Well he's right (kinda), this forum is so shit that no one of any importance in the game business would ever post here. Edit: There's a bunch of devs among this community. A lot of them made great games, I'd say they are of importance.

Crosmando: I'm skeptical of any massive conglomerate corporation getting into video games. Because ultimately they are going to approach the game-making business not as creatives making art, but as a business making a product to sell, which always ends with the worst excesses of "game design by committee".
Replace game with music, and that's the reason most new music sucks. I'm afraid we are partially to blame. We hand over the money and are complicit. The only real power anyone has is to vote with their wallet.
