Nontrivial games take time to make.

  While yes it takes a lot of time to make a game the indie scene isn't interested simply because of unity's dominance. The AAA scene is using their own engines or the unreal engine. While you can switch engines when creating a new game the incentive isn't there when you either already have licenses for the unreal engine and a small army of programmers who have mastered it. People were expecting a shit to Unreal when they decided to make it free for education/take a 5 % cut. This shift hasn't happened...

  Fair point. Still, it's been nearly a year. Has anyone so much as announced a Lumberyard game, even?

    I believe the game Streamline, released November 18th, is built with Lumberyard and makes use of its Twitch integration. This game's studio had support from Amazon. https://steamdb.info/app/252850/graphs/ https://steamdb.info/app/252850/graphs/ The game was free until November 18th 9am PST, so the current active ~100 daily players is more representative of its success.
