steam pros: a store that always has a sale or big holiday sale right around the corner, a social network, a library for game info and game modding, and a trophy case etc.
what was amazon offering? full priced games, no sales that beat steams (a free game offer now and then only if you give them $140 a year and forget about it), and shitty cloud streaming of few games? so they tried nothing actually meaningful, were all out of ideas, but shocked they lost
Yes, but you keep the game even if you cancal prime. As opposed to e.g. PlayStation Plus where you loose access to the free games when you cancel your subscription.

oh and also on a platform notorious for making e-books unable to work on pcs, forcing their proprietary hardware for a PDF. and now they’re actually going in and changing/censoring whats written in books without authors consent.
You are twisting it a bit. Amazon is not censoring books (yet). It just made impossible to transfer books from the Kindle to a PC.
i wish i was, if you’d watch the video he cites and reads a list of examples.
Much like Epic, they also did free games for people with Amazon Prime, but they undercut that by offering free games on other platforms as well.
Not that I’m complaining, but nothing to make themselves stand out.
not like epic, epic offers free games, Prime’s games are paid for by subscription.
Doesn’t Prime give away GoG games?
don’t you have to pay for prime? then its not free.
