    I’m not here to argue but I was serious when I said fuck Amazon. I don’t want to impose my ideals on others though, live and let live and such.

    Was just curious what passes as a free game when you need an active subscription to redeem this

      I feel you. Think of it this way: by signing up for a trial and claiming a license for these games, you are costing Amazon money. That’s the only reason I have an Epic store account.

        When you claim a game from Amazon, is tied to an active subscription, or can you download it and install it later regardless of subscription status?

          According to the FAQ at the bottom of the page:

          Once you claim this game, the game is yours to keep forever. If you cancel your Prime membership, you will still be able to download and play the games you have previously claimed in the Amazon Games app. If you would like to claim new games, you will need to have an active Prime membership.

          Though I’ve never tested this myself.

      As PlasticExistance said it’s free if you jump through some hoops. Also I tag them all with Prime so if you use a Lemmy client which can block strings you can ensure you never see any of the Amazon giveaways.
