Who doesn't love a complete trash fire? Pour one out for Amazon Studio’s team-based shooter Crucible, because it’s been more than just a rough launch for the game. Amazon announced this week that they’ll be taking Crucible back into closed beta. Yep that’s right, they’re putting that lumpy old game cake back in the oven to try and burn off all the bad bits. Of course that works better for games than for cakes, but you know what I’m saying. Anyways, stay tuned to Inside Gaming while we try to answer the age-old question, “Can you just throw money at everything?”
