Title: Amazon has PC game app/store?
Post by: Bebpo on January 07, 2021, 08:21:14 PM: Was buying some soap and Amazon and it's like 30 FREE VIDEO GAMES PER MONTH WITH YOUR PRIME SUBSCRIPTION and I click on it and it's like Amazon's version of Game Pass but free?

But you have to install and use their game storefront and idk if I wanna add another storefront. Right now they have like every SNK retro game including SSV Special and Void Bastards and a few other games for free if you have prime.

Never knew this existed.

Post by: Bebpo on January 07, 2021, 08:33:10 PM: Yeah, I just installed it and it looks a lot like game pass app. Gonna try installing some indie game and see how it runs.

Post by: Bebpo on January 07, 2021, 08:45:53 PM: Yeah, I looked up their indie game selection that's not the SNK stuff this month/right now and it's...pretty good? Like it's pretty close to a standard humble choice or game pass month without big hitters. These indie games are all stuff I don't own on the other store fronts and have good reviews on steam:

Close to the Sun
Turmoil
Wizard of Legend
Sheltered
Along the Edge
Alt Frequencies
When Ski Lifts Go Wrong

Sword Legacy Omen reviews are just ok
Have Void Bastards/Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair/Overcooked/Sigma Theory from elsewhere and Bridge Constructor isn't my thing.

Post by: who is ted danson? on January 08, 2021, 03:55:05 AM: I've claimed all the games every month on their storefront. I think i have a couple hundred over there, but I've only logged in their once lmao. I probably should since they have given away some really good stuff in the past.

edit: awww fuggg I've got 263 games on there :neogaf
