57.10 Acceptable Use; Safety-Critical Systems. Your use of the Lumberyard Materials must comply with the AWS Acceptable Use Policy. The Lumberyard Materials are not intended for use with life-critical or safety-critical systems, such as use in operation of medical equipment, automated transportation systems, autonomous vehicles, aircraft or air traffic control, nuclear facilities, manned spacecraft, or military use in connection with live combat. However, this restriction will not apply in the event of the occurrence (certified by the United States Centers for Disease Control or successor body) of a widespread viral infection transmitted via bites or contact with bodily fluids that causes human corpses to reanimate and seek to consume living human flesh, blood, brain or nerve tissue and is likely to result in the fall of organized civilization. https://aws.amazon.com/service-terms/

cool, freely can be used to control weapons in case of a zombie apocalypse , Lumberjack and the zombie apocalypse ps: Amazon has surprisingly quite a bit of synergies with Lumberyard and their other products (their web services, Twitch, their stores etc.). Will be interesting to see if they can compete with Unreal and Unity.

one funny thing is that Epic started to integrate Twitch, but the Twitch SDK was withdrawn not a long time ago, so it has been stopped...
imo AWS integration is cool if you don't want to maintain your own server park. and selling games at Amazon could be something like Steam integration, but probably easier to implement networking stuff thanks to the integration with AWS.
but the workflow is the same as of Cryengine, you need Max or Maya, and maybe Photoshop too. but the audio and GUI system are custom, which is a step forward (as I remember CryEngine uses something for audio that requires a license, and the UI stuff is Flash/Angelscript, but not for sure, I checked it a long time ago).
to be honest I'm currently satisfied with UE4, except the high hardware requirements, but this lumberthingie has even higher.
