Amazon Showcases Twitch With a Massive Free Videogame
An anonymous Slashdot reader writes:"Amazon.com's first big-budget video game is like street basketball, except played in a mythological world where athletes are armed," reports the Los Angeles Times, adding "Wait, Amazon makes video games?" Indeed.

("Taunt every interception, celebrate every kill, and highlight your dominance with instant replays...") "If you think about what makes games so fantastic, it's the experiences you have with your friends," explained one Amazon Games official, in an interview with the Times Friday.

They are all about shared experiences."Read more of this story at Slashdot.
