Shared\u00a0via a recent report from Bloomberg, Amazon Game Studios<\/strong>‘ failure in the game space has been a big talking point for the industry as of late, with employees from within the company sharing accounts of toxic work environments and higher-ups being inexperienced in game design. The most concerning accusation was that Amazon was home to a “bro culture” environment<\/a>, where female developers were undermined and\u00a0overlooked for promotions.<\/p>\n

Following the report and the recent news that soon-to-be-former Amazon<\/a> CEO Jeff Bezos would be stepping down from his position, it seems the company’s new head,\u00a0Andy Jassy, wants to reaffirm his commitment to the gaming division. Reported by Bloomberg, who managed to get their hands on a recent email from Jassy to Amazon Game Studios’ employees, the future CEO reached out to assure the team that\u00a0he’ll continue\u00a0offering support when he assumes his new position this summer.<\/p>\n

According to the publication, Jassy begins by offering full support to\u00a0Mike Frazzini, the head of the company’s gaming pursuits. Frazzini has been a figure of controversy since the original Bloomberg report, with\u00a0the senior member of the studio having never worked in video games before and\u00a0allegedly\u00a0setting unrealistic expectations\u00a0of the staff.\u00a0The CEO then addresses Amazon’s failed projects thus far<\/a>, claiming “though we haven\u2019t consistently succeeded yet in AGS, I believe we will if we hang in there.” He shares that he sees a bright future for the studio and that\u00a0he’s committed to supporting the division in the years to come.<\/p>\n

Speaking on\u00a0the accusations of bro culture and the treatment of women at the studio,\u00a0Mike Frazzini sent his own email to the team,\u00a0taking\u00a0a firm stance that\u00a0a misogynistic work environment\u00a0won’t be accepted\u00a0at Amazon. “We have zero tolerance for this type of behavior,” Frazzini writes, stating that Amazon Game Studios<\/a>\u00a0should be an\u00a0“inclusive” space in the months to come. Hopefully, Frazzini’s words will be evocative of the environment cultivated at the game studio going forward.<\/p>\n

As it stands, Amazon is still working on several projects, with its MMO\u00a0New World\u00a0<\/em>slated to drop later this year. Set in a fantasy\u00a0world based on mid-17th century Colonial America, the game will see players strive across this mysterious new land as they battle monsters and other mystical threats. The team also allegedly has a\u00a0Lord of the Rings\u00a0<\/em>MMO<\/a> in the works, although little has been shared about the title. Early rumors seem to point to a release next year, although nothing has been confirmed as of yet. Logic would dictate, however, that the game would see players team up and\u00a0embark upon epic quests before the backdrop of Middle-Earth.<\/p>\n
