yes... aws provides an engine and they ask that, should you use run any infrastructure in "the cloud" that it be their cloud. it's not that strange.

  I'm not saying it's strange, I'm saying a game dev worth its salt would not even consider it.

    plenty of games use aws, so i'm not sure why you say that.

      It doesn't matter what tech you use now. Locking yourself into that tech from essentially the root of your game is a terrible idea.

        this seems like a bit of a red herring. "locking yourself" is a bit under-specified - picking unity, unreal, cryengine, phyreengine, or whatever is also doing just this. choosing physx or havok is a fork in the road. etc. presumably one is making these choices after carefully evaluating options.
