Amazon actually already runs a game studio: https://games.amazon.com

Well, that doesn't surprise me, but still... I'm absolutely amazed at how many things they seem to be doing over at Amazon.

I wonder if Amazon will follow Google's route and start splitting up into smaller companies at some point?

I think it is already split into a lot of sub-companies.

Amazon recently reorganized itself into three gorups, with Andy Jassy becoming CEO of AWS, Jeff Wilke CEO of retail, and Bezos keeping digital.

Not sure how much still goes all the way to the top but the impression from an investment perspective is the three main arms of the company can operate more independently.

I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon bought Crytek soon.
