I want 2 things from New World and that is it

Honestly, I just think it's funny that Amazon has these almost limitless resources and cannot develop even one decent game.

It's almost like you can't buy game development experience with money.

I think you can, I just think that - at some level - the Amazon software team's management is completely incompetent.

I mean, you can drive a truck of money up to 'big' names in any industry and recruit them - you absolutely can put together an all star team. The question is: has Amazon actually ever done such a thing (or was the software team 'Bezos'd' from the start, and was basically a bunch of college grads with no experience and no salary command [which wouldn't surprise me])... and, if they did, how could they so horrifically mismanage said talent to the point where a) they had to just drop a lucrative project like a new LOTR MMORPG, and b) their supposed flagship game, New World, is basically DOA?

What I meant is, that you can't just hire some rando from college that made a cute lil game on their first RPG maker and expect them to make an MMO, no matter how much money you give the project.
