“What Is Amazon DOING?!”

In Episode 2, FreeBird and Cheeks zoom in on Amazon like it’s a raid boss with weird mechanics. “What Is Amazon DOING?!” isn’t just the episode title—it’s the mood. With New World’s future getting messier, confusing decisions around New World: Aeternum, Season 10’s “final chapter” energy, and the lingering threat of shutdown hovering over the MMO, the crew breaks down what Amazon is actually doing with its games division—and why players are tired of being caught in the crossfire.

From Amazon’s handling of New World to big-picture decisions around live-service projects, layoffs, and long-term support, this one turns into a wider conversation about how mega-corps keep treating games like disposable experiments instead of communities. They also dig into other industry drama (including Bungie/Sony talk) and wrap it up with what they’ve been playing lately.
