Video of guy looking up Amazon Terms
So, of course, I checked it out first:
https://aws.amazon.com/service-terms/
Under section 42 - 42. Amazon Lumberyard Engine
42.10. 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.
"First the CDC page, now this. I don't buy the excuse that on an exhaustive legal notarized document, that Amazon was just having fun. Surely their lawyers go through this stuff with a fine-toothed comb 🤔"
"I'd not worry about this guy, he can't even use ctrl-F to find the word zombie..."
"Lumberyard is the AWS gaming framework. A few games are using it now. Its will have stuff like that. New world game and star citizen use it. It was probably written and handed to legal because the coders didn't believe anyone ever read this crap anyway."

I don’t know how it got in there, exactly, but with the rise of Zombie movies, books the annual FEMA publication (about 2 years ago, maybe) which provides public service information to prepare for disasters used a “Prepare for the Zombie Apocalypse” theme, and apparently we’ve gone downhill from there?
