Retail giant Amazon has been in the business of video games for a long time, but the company’s track record has been less than excellent, with games like Breakaway, Crucible, and a Lord of the Rings MMO getting canceled, and big-name developers like Kim Swift and Clint Hocking leaving the company. While Amazon has struggled, Amazon Games boss Christoph Hartmann, a former 2K executive, believes the company’s best days are ahead of it.
Hartmann said Amazon’s video game development ambitions are like climbing a mountain. Those who climb Everest don’t usually get all the way there on their first try.
