Amazon unveils internal game studio, Facebook title

So if they make a good game can I buy it for cheap from them?

It's not a game I'm interested in at all, but this news is Kind of strange.

Still, who knows what the future holds. Maybe in a decade, after these humble gaming beginnings, Amazon will be as big as Capcom, Konami, or even Activision in the gaming world.

File this under "Who gives a crap?"

Only people who have never played games before will be amused by this. Once you experience better you can't go back to pong.

uggggh

I'd like to see Amazon finance a major release, cross-platforms, geared for a $60 price point and a DLC option.  The truth is, twenty-somethings can code Indie mini-games without expansive financial resources.  This is a pretty easy venture for Amazon. 

"Amazon doesn't just want to sell games any more--it wants to make them, too."

...Yes, because nothing says "game" like "facebook". smh

I did not expect that Amazon will jump into social gaming, and it would be interesting how successful its first game will be.

This sounds interesting.

Wouldn't they rather make a Sims rip-off called "The 'Zon"?  ;)

This is amusing. I may check it out just to see how well Amazon did on it.
