Amazon's Video Games Division Lays Off Over 100 Employees.

Amazon is laying off around 100 employees in its video games division, including employees in the Game Growth group, Amazon's San Diego gaming studio, and Prime Gaming. The move comes as Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has moved to rein in costs across the company. The company has also instituted a hiring freeze in its corporate workforce, and it has shuttered some experimental projects. Christoph Hartmann, vice president of Amazon Games, wrote in a memo that some staffers have also been reassigned to other projects "that match our strategic focus."
