    I’m in the midst of 100%-ing this one. Very enjoyable game, although I don’t think it’s quite as good as Lego Star Wars. Looking like a 20-hour completion when all’s said and done.

      Don’t make me tap the sign!

      You can create a free trial of prime, grab the games, then cancel it if you don’t want to give any money to Amazon

      You can use a Lemmy client which lets you set content filters to block all posts containing [Prime if you just never want to see these giveaways

          Sure, but ultimately it’s something a lot of people have access to anyway, and with a small amount of hoop-jumping you can get quite a lot of games for free.

              I’ve not tried, but I guess they might try and tempt you back with the offer of more free subscription months. I was thinking more just create a new account and grab the 30-odd games that are currently available, then come back in a year when you’ve played them all and repeat with a new email.

      You indeed need prime for this.

      Which is the best deal you can get for free fast delivery, unlimited photo storage, several free monthly pc games, free access to amazons cloud gaming platform luna to play anywhere on anything and prime video. And some other shit i don’t remember.

      Its not a loophole. Its a very clear transaction. You give them money and some data, you get this pile of stuff which costs more (money and data) if you get it somewhere else.

      And yes, its a lock in into the Amazon ecosystem. We all know that’s the reason amazon does this. Which isn’t t worse or better then the Google, Apple or MS ecosystem which you’re already on since you’re posting here. It is much cheaper though.

      SSDD.

    This one keeps telling me to install some Amazon launcher or something when I claim it through heroic launcher.

      I’ve not tried Amazon games on Heroic, but in the past I’ve had no trouble claiming on the web page and installing through Lutris

        This one is kind of different. When I claimed it from the Amazon store on heroic, Amazon then instructs me to install the Amazon games launcher in order to play it. I didn’t even know since such thing even existed. Fine, downloaded the .exe file and installed it through heroic then installed the game through Amazon games launcher through heroic 🤦🏽‍♂️, the mental gymnastics us Linux users have to go through to just play a game. Then when the games installed, I created another game through heroin, but this time I pointed it to the game’s prefix instead of the Amazon’s games launcher.

          Weird. I know that the web page always instructs me to use Amazon’s launcher every time I claim a game, but I’ve never actually needed to. Maybe they’ve changed something?

            I have ni no fucking idea, but I got it working now. I even figured out a way to change the “quit to windows” option in the game to “quit to Linux”, just as a fuck you to them. Lol
