A team beaten into learned helplessness that has spent the last few years refactoring pipelines? Amazon is going to fork at least a couple of hundred million US american buckaroos for this?

You see, the ensuing domestic violence was a bonus as it allowed the workers to vent their despair and frustration on someone weaker without ever questioning why it was that everyone lived their whole lives with literal starvation wages while the landowners lived in conspicuous luxury. This sounds like modern Britain. Or Russia. Goobs posted:who are you even? He's no close up of a cat, I'll tell you that.

Much easier to simply buy them in bulk along with the aircraft desks and the coffee machine.

Speaking from experience here, If amazon did enter into an actual marketing partnership with CIG, no actual money (or very little) would ever change hands, even if they claim its a XXX million dollar partnership. What would likely happen is CIG promotes/advertises their usage of Amazon's engine and services, which they claim is worth XXX million dollars (or a few jpegs), and in turn, agree to exclusively use Amazon services for some period of time that equates to the same amount of money.

Expect to see Molyneux signing up next, possibly Garriot? Let's just get them all in here.

The way I see this from the prospective of a company basically trying to get a new division off the ground, see what crap is making the waves on media(good or bad) and try and use it to promote their engine/services and loving hope that works. Remember, this is the same division that spent $70 million on an engine almost no developer touches.

Just my 2 cents though
