It looks like Amazon Game Studios are making huge moves to become relevant in the gaming industry, and fast. As many know, Crytek had been going through financial struggles last year and even as far as not being able to pay their own employees in some situations. Now it seems things are looking up for the developer as a deal has reportedly been struck between them and Amazon Game Studios.

No idea what Amazon Game Studios would do with the CryEngine yet, but the fact they have been making moves to buy out former Killer Instinct developer Double Helix and signed deals with Portal lead developer, Kim Swift and well known Far Cry 2 designer, Clint Hocking just means one thing. Amazon Game Studios is planning something big and it may not just be limited to the Amazon Fire TV that they released to some lukewarm gaming appeal. Oh and lets not forget they did buy Twitch so, they really want gamers attention.

I would probably buy the shite out of an Amazon gaming console, but then I'd pretty much buy canned dogshit from them at this point if it was a good deal on Prime.

I wouldn't be shocked to see an Amazon console at some point

I think it's a forgone conclusion they're going to release some sort of gaming console/device in the future.
