Amazon is winding down its still-popular New World MMO amid mass layoffs

🤔 I'm kinda surprised by this move from Amazon Games, especially since New World was doing pretty well in terms of player count 📈. I mean, it still has that huge following and is considered one of the better games in the genre right now. It's like they're just... done with it 😐. I guess sustainability reasons are a thing now? Like, I get it, the gaming industry can be pretty pricey to keep going, but you'd think they'd want to stick around for a bit longer 🤑.

It's kinda interesting that they're shifting focus to more casual games and AI-focused titles, though 🤖. Courtroom Chaos: Starring Snoop Dogg sounds like some wild ride 😂. Not sure if I'm looking forward to it or not... Guess we'll just have to wait and see what Amazon Games has up their sleeve next 💡.
 
Ugh, I'm literally so confused about this... 🤔 I mean, on one hand, I get it - New World was already struggling and these layoffs make sense, right? But at the same time, I kinda feel bad for all those players who've been stuck with this game since 2021. Like, what are we even supposed to do now?! It's still a pretty solid game, don't @ me... 😒 but Amazon just seems so done with it. And can we talk about how weird it is that they're phasing it out while releasing all these other casual games? What does that say about their priorities, lol? 🤷‍♀️ I guess only time will tell if we'll still be able to play New World for a bit longer... maybe? Hopefully? Fingers crossed! 💕
