With mass layoffs affecting people at both small studios and tech giants, Amazon is the latest company to announce job cuts. The move will affect employees in its video game division.

Amazon has decided to lay off more than 100 employees in its gaming division. The company says these changes should help it achieve its long-term goal of becoming one of the world’s leading game publishers.

John Smedley, experienced executive and one of the creators of EverQuest, has stepped down as the head of Amazon Game Studios San Diego. He has been with the company for six years, but hasn’t shipped a single game.

Amazon Games and Smilegate have addressed negative comments within the Lost Ark community about pay-to-win elements in the MMORPG. According to the developers, it wasn’t their intent to frustrate so many players.

New World came out on September 28, drawing attention from hundreds of thousands of players. It helped the new MMORPG from Amazon become the fifth most played title in Steam’s history.
