This just gets worse and worse for AGS, now the ‘head’ of games (who has zero gaming experience) has left the role!! Oh no!!!
“Amazon is a company that often assumes that if you can succeed in one category, you can succeed in another, and staffers in the unit felt that he underestimated the complexities of the medium. Frazzini did not immediately respond to a request for comment.”
Cringe. How about hiring some actual skilled Devs instead of paying your no doubt already rich higher ups to move into a field they have zero qualifications or knowledge about…
" Frazzini, who previously worked in the books section of Amazon, was a relative game novice when he became head of the division. Some employees [had criticized him] for veering too far from game-making’s traditional playbook"
Woweeee, everything makes sense now We can see why AGS is such a horrific failure. They have infinite money to spend so they can hire folk & buy IPs like Lost Ark. But do they have the brain power to actually run them? Seems like no.
Good news, this guy’s lack of experience and horrible management style wasn’t helping anyone.
I recommend this bloomberg article to get to know the character
