Two more titles from Amazon Prime:

Kerbal Space Program (via GOG)

Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales (via GOG)

In case you missed it don't forget to grab Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, the Borderlands games, and three LEGO games. Some of those freebies expire in 5 days.

I keep forgetting and I am a long time Prime member. I just don't associate PC Gaming with Amazon.

Hella stupid question, but what is Amazon prime? :D
Amazon Prime means you get free shipping on products shipped from Amazon warehouses, Prime video to watch Rings of Power, Wheel of Time and the Boys, There is also music to stream and obviously PC Games. I use Amazon for everything like PC parts. Just got a new KB (Red Dragon Shiva) and at the same time bought some shorts in a 5 pack for about $8 each. You pay $89 Canadian on your Credit card once a year to renew it. Like Humble Choice (If you are a true PC Gamer) Prime is great for those of us that think of Amazon as the ultimate mail service. I mean the Micronauts Omnibus was great but the Marvel Universe by John Bryne has Xmen and Avengers and of course the greatest single issue Comic book in Avengers Annual #10. I look forward to finally ordering the Warlord Omnibus in 2025.

I'd rather pay not to watch that insult to taste and common sense. The Grand Tour and Clarkson's Farm are pretty great, though.

There has been a few good grabs on Prime Gaming.

People complain that you have to pay for Prime, so I guess no one mentions it here.

Have you watched it? It is a completely new story but better than a lot of what is on offer. The Boys is actually that good as well. Like I said though the hook for me is free shipping so these shows are just gravy.

Ah, thanks. I usually buy my stuff from in-country or from ebay.

But at least I know in the future :)

I watched the first episode. It was the worst movie/series experience of my entire life.
Yes we are not robots and like different things, it is part of the human experience.

almost everyone in america knows someone that has prime or has prime themselves, that is basically is free for us. for example i use my dad's prime account to get the free games cause he will never use that feature of his membership

I'm today years old when I found out Amazon Prime had games. :banghead:
Also if you are willing to slog through the listings you can find smaller studio games downloadable and playable after install completely independent of any launcher company. Inventories do change so it is worth it. I have over a dozen games this way.

Yes we are not robots and like different things, it is part of the human experience.

We are. But that show is not good and the audience scores everywhere agree with that statement. It suffers from the same thing the halo show did, it has the LOTR name but doesn't actually do a good job of creating a realistic LOTR story. So instead we get a bad to mediocre fantasy show with the LOTR sticker on it.

If they didn't build out the original show deal with 5 seasons I'd bet money it would have gotten cancelled already.

Now as far as free games, Squad is in a free weekend for the next 2 days. If you enjoy realistic shooters I highly recommend it (also has some great mods)

I keep forgetting and I am a long time Prime member. I just don't associate PC Gaming with Amazon.
And yet Twitch is a thing. The drops (and ads) have to come from somewhere.
I'm not sure about the politics around it but I imagine anyone that collects and plays games, no streams...
They probably avoid Amazon Gaming and stick to Steam/Epic/GoG/Itch like the rest of us.

FWIW, there is a lot of non-Amazon-produced content on Prime video.

Heh. Anyone remember New Worlds? The one that caused 3090 deaths? That was Amazon game studios.

New World is a game that had insane potential. It's so much fun to play but they have mismanaged the shit out of it.

They're actually "relaunching" it on consoles now.
