Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Those games are just to play on PC, right?
Yes, PC only. Most will require Amazon's launcher. Need for Speed will definitely be an Origin key.

Jeeze I didn't know this existed until now. Wonder if I missed anything good in the past. I redeemed DA: Inquisition on Origin, not bad for "free".

I didn't know it was on console.

How does it feel with a controller? Have you done several runs or trying to learn and win on the same one?
Because the gameplay is focused on a small area and you can pretty much see the entire camp on the screen it doesn't suffer the issue you tend to get with strategy games feeling clunky on a controller while trying to move around quickly and manage everything. Plays really nicely on controller from what I can remember. I played it on Gamepass a while ago, it's still on there.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Amazon Prime is better than many services at this point.
I'd agree with this, but it probably speaks more to the fact that other services seem to have gotten a lot worse while Amazon's gotten objectively better.

Amazon has a games launcher? Eww.
It used to be the Twitch Launcher, nowadays it's completely spun off in it's own thing.

It's... okay? Pretty basic, but really functional.

Honestly didn't know Amazon had a games launcher on PC, wonder how it will integrate with their upcoming Luna service?

I have more than enough launchers, but thanks.


Besides the Origin and EGS codes, all amazon prime games are DRM free and do not require a launcher to start the game.

(you do have to create your own shortcut though, don't use the shortcut that automatically shows up).

example :
cRyQ09v.jpg




You have to do the same thing with GoG games too for the most part. If I download Control Ultimate Edition, the shortcut it creates on my desktop opens the Gog Galaxy client. But I can manually go to Control's directory and create a desktop shortcut (or add to Steam, etc) and run the game without the Gog Galaxy Launcher.


Seriously, if you got some shit against Amazon Gaming launcher, then you don't like DRM free games and you don't like Gog either.

You get paid for this or something? You sound like a Salesman. I got enough launchers, 4 more than I want. I'm ok, honestly. I'm good. It's ok to miss out on things.

I don't care whether you use it or not. Was only trying to show you that it's not that evil or obtrusive. Since games don't need the launcher I definitely prefer it over uplay and origin. I dunno, DRM free is a better choice than Ubi and EA's DRM.

Games are now available:


Need for Speed is an Origin Code
Frostpunk and Journey to the Savage Planet are both GOG keys
The rest are direct through the Amazon launcher

These games are not ""free"" free. You keep them forever, not like PS Plus or Gold Live games you lose access to the second your subscription ends. For the little money an Amazon Prime sub costs, it's fucking AMAZING value.

I put "free" in the title because there's always some idiot that comes into these threads and says "Well - amazon prime costs money, so these aren't free".

I agree, it's an amazing value. I only subscribe for the free shipping, but having streaming movies and a half dozen or more free games (to keep) every month is definitely a nice bonus.
