> My guess is we're seeing the stick with all mention of any carrot very carefully edited out. I would further guess Amazon is providing some kind of interesting carrot, perhaps a great big pile of free AWS time or free marketing.

Amazon doesn't give free AWS time or free marketing (or really any marketing) to employees. It's not frugal.

Some additional context: this is the newer, better version of the policy where you can work on games. Previously, employees could not work on games at all.

Amazon doesn't really care about people doing stuff on the side, they want your extra hours to go into amazon.

> not define as per the unknown Amazon definition of a "Personal Game".

Amazon has a bunch of lawyers who will take whatever you make if you achieve any kind of succcess.
