Amazon has finally produced a successful game, and the company's executive chairman is overjoyed about it. With the launch of Amazon's fantasy MMO New World just a few days ago, the game has already proven to be a hit, despite some high-profile issues such as long queues and silly lore:Four days after its release, it has maintained its position atop the Steam Top 100, surpassing perennial heavyweights such as PUBG, Dota 2, and even CS:GO in terms of simultaneous players. And no one is enjoying the success more than Amazon founder and executive chairman Jeff Bezos, who tweeted about the game earlier today, expressing his delight at the achievement.
According to Bezos, "After many failures and setbacks in the game industry, we have achieved success."I am extremely proud of the team for their perseverance. Consider setbacks as beneficial obstacles that encourage you to learn more. Whatever your objectives are, never give up, no matter how difficult the situation appears to be.
The following statement sounds like something you'd see on an aspirational plaque hanging in your mother's kitchen, but there's some truth to it:The company has struggled to create a game that people will want to play despite having virtually limitless resources at its disposal. It shelved projects such as the no-lane MOBA Breakaway and a Lord of the Rings MMO Diablo 2 Resurrected Items PC was working on, and it even un-released its 2020 hero shooter Crucible—something I don't recall having ever seen before—before deciding to call it quits completely.
