Some 20 hours ago they announced the release of a cross platform game engine, competing with the likes of Unity and Unreal.
The best part? It's totally free to use. You only pay for the Elastic Cloud instances running your game, serving requests. And of course, they are following it up with a free service to manage scaling, and integration with the plethora of other tools they have already released.
It also makes perfect sense why they bought Twitch for $1 billion. They've integrated their fresh acquisition into the game engine. Developers can let Amazon handle scaling, streaming, and the cross platform engine to do it all. They can just make games.
I for one welcome our new Amazon overlord. May they simplify and decrease the cost of everything in my life. # Lumberyard
