I did not realize they were trying to compete in the first place.

steam pros: a store that always has a sale or big holiday sale right around the corner, a social network, a library for game info and game modding, and a trophy case etc.

what was amazon offering? full priced games, no sales that beat steams (a free game offer now and then only if you give them $140 a year and forget about it), and shitty cloud streaming of few games? so they tried nothing actually meaningful, were all out of ideas, but shocked they lost

oh and also on a platform notorious for making e-books unable to work on pcs, forcing their proprietary hardware for a PDF. and now they're actually going in and changing/censoring whats written in books without authors consent.

Pretty ballsy to put up a long LinkedIn post that boils down to "I am incompetent and should not be hired under any circumstances."

The only reason anyone even knew about Prime Gaming was they pushed it with Twitch.

Who would've imagined given your disaster apps like the Appstore and your shitty "free app" giveaways. Even the FAQs you posted after shutting down the service were purposely vague and irresolute.

Of course I will consume digital products from you again! Said fucking no one.

Also it was just brazenly clear they never talked to gamers and were aiming for a nonexistent customer. Cloud based gaming (i think that's what they were trying to sell) might attract a few people, but it's obviously a bad idea and it was clearly being phoned in as part of a "we have decided this is what we will tell thr customer to want" type deal.
