I did not realize they were trying to compete in the first place.

    Granted I’m not a gamer, but I don’t think I’ve ever even heard of prime gaming. I’ve heard of steam though.

      I’ve checked in on it for the last several months and only picked up like 3 games that sounded interesting. And those only because they were free/included in my prime subscription.

        My partner streams on twitch, only reason I go on that site (also found out T pain streams a lot of things there and he’s genuinely amazing to watch, I will shill him every time I can). I only found out about prime gaming because I’d get notifications from twitch that I can claim free games from epic and GOG. So I got several big titles that way.

      Prime Gaming gives away free games every week or so. It’s one of the perks available to those subscribed to Amazon Prime.

      Those games can be on EGS, Amazon’s own launcher (that nobody uses), GOG, or Legacy Games Launcher.
