Amazon Is Just As Bad As Google At Making Video Games

Lumberyard is a fork of cryengine, amazon literally bought  a version of cryengine and added a few things related to MMOs. (like aws integration and web services) It is based on a 2015 version of cryengine.

Yes but try installing cryengine and lumberyard side by side.. You would find that amount of the AWS plugins being installed on system vs the vanilla cryengine install would take up painful space and setup is awful. lumberyard encourages you to make use of the AWS specific services in the game.

But that's the point - it's there own adaptation of the cryengine made to work specifically with AWS services which isn't anything revolutionary. Most studios have their own modified version of a specific game engine.

Yes and that's where the thing change in to something different. in tech terms it's called fork, of original. I am not sure where is lumberyard now but the recent updates in the cryengine has been pretty good.

But as we keep saying, Amazon isn't doing anything amazing to establish itself in the Gaming industry so them calling Lumberyard "refreshing or revolutionary" when we haven't even seen it in action is typical deceitful marketing.
