Howdy pardners, this is a cheeky self-plug for !freegames@feddit.uk, a community I’ve created to post limited-time full-game free giveaways. It’s been going a month or two and I’m already claiming games faster than I can play them, so come and join me and make your what-game-to-play choice paralysis worse!
Technically true, though you can start a free trial of Prime and claim all the games, and then (supposedly) they’re still yours to keep after the trial expires. A small hoop to jump through, but it should mean free games!
Depends. Some of the games they give you are on gog. Those you certainly get to keep.
IRC Others are only available as long as you’re a prime member.
According to the game pages themselves:
I’ve not tried cancelling myself, but a quick web search for other people asking this question says yes you do keep them!
What, no, absolutely not. In fact I recall the games you get via their launcher don’t even have DRM on them. I’ll check them again at some point.
Some definitely do have DRM. I explicitly ended up buying Devil May Cry on Steam despite getting it with Prime because it opened the Twitch launcher every time I tried to play, which messed up Steam Input or whatever I was trying to use at the time.
Doesn’t really work if I’ve had a subscription before, or used said free month some time in the past.
Only issue here is to flag it’s on Twitch Prime so everyone has the right expectation.
Can you not create a new account with a new (or alias) email? Or do they want phone number, card, or other less-easily-created details?
The Amazon ones are tagged as such, but there are plenty of other providers with less hoops to jump through!
I haven’t tried. That’s not for me. I’d rather just buy the game or pirate it. Both are much easier.
