Amazon Gaming Division Cuts Over 100 Jobs

Amazon has laid off "just over" 100 employees across gaming divisions, including Prime Gaming, Game Growth, and Amazon Games' San Diego studio. The company is also reassigning workers to projects that fit its "strategic focus." The teams in Irvine and Montreal will continue to grow, and Amazon's publishing efforts will expand. Laid off employees will receive severance pay, health benefits, and paid time to find new jobs. The reasons for the layoffs are unclear, but they come after Amazon weighed its ongoing projects against its "long-term goals."
