Amazon really is remarkably bad at releasing games

    Good tax write offs are hard to find.

    I dont understand this, the best they can do is work it as an expense. It doesnt make sense to spend on something to call it a write off. It makes sense to make something a write off if its return looks like it will be less than anticipated or that there is further investment than planned required.

    We already have a pretty good LotR MMORPG. Sure it's dated but works fine imo

    Why would they even bother making a second lotr mmo?

    I guess I don’t recall if they were planning on nuking the whole gaming studio/arm/division or just keeping enough around to make games for fire tablets.

    I actually think this is a good sign. We don't need anymore MMOs. Honestly, who has the time or money for MMOs nowadays.
