180 Amazon employees laid off in video game division

Like Amazon's previous layoffs earlier this year, the latest cuts affect the Crown Channel and Game Growth teams of the company's gaming division.

These cuts are said to affect 180 employees on the Prime Gaming team, as part of what the company calls a "larger goal of refocusing efforts." Amazon-backed Twitch channel Crown is also said to be affected, as is the Game Growth team.

As now, these cuts affected the Crown Channel and Game Growth teams, as well as the Amazon Games studio in San Diego.
