"After our initial restructuring in April, it became clear that we needed to focus our resources more on those areas with the greatest potential for growth to drive our business forward," said Amazon Gaming Vice President Christoph Hartmann said in an email.

Amazon began notifying employees on Monday morning (U.S. time) that their positions would be eliminated.
