The Dark Side of Gaming's New Frontier Amazon Game Studios' decision to divest its massively multiplayer online games (MMOs) "Lost Ark" and "Throne and Liberty" marks a significant turning point in the company's strategic evolution.
This move comes as no surprise, given the increasingly saturated MMO market and Amazon's pivot away from these types of games.
The return of publishing responsibilities for these titles to their respective development studios – Smilegate and NC – is a pragmatic business decision.
