Was the decision to move to Lumberyard at all based on the financial difficulties faced by Crytek?asked by Jon Martindale

We certainly wanted a technology partner that could support us and be with us for the long term, investing in tools and technology year after year, which Amazon of course can uniquely deliver. But mostly we liked Amazon's strategy for gaming, specifically with Lumberyard, Twitch and AWS. We knew that over time Amazon would create the best game engine and support technologies to enable and power online games using AWS – it's inevitable and will be a big help to us and our community, now and in the future. We're always looking long term at CIG, and with Amazon as a partner, we're able to feel confident about the future.
