Amazon Luna is pulling third-party game purchases, no refunds, no recourse. This is what the future of cloud gaming actually looks like.Join us at http://be...
Yes, it’s true that you won’t be able to access your third-party games through Luna anymore. However, you’ll be able to access those games through the third-party account you had to link to Luna to purchase the game. As an example, if you purchased a game from EA on Luna, then you’ll be able to continue playing that game through EA directly after these changes to Luna’s services go into effect. You aren’t getting refunds because you aren’t losing the games. You’re only losing access to them through Luna, which is fundamentally different from losing the game entirely.
While I wouldn’t have bought games for cloud gaming myself, some consumers likely bought games without other means of playing them and are now unable to make use of their purchased content.
I guess so? But that seems a bit like grasping at straws. They still have access to the games, unlike what the outrage-bait headline suggests.
And even in those cases, they could just switch to a rival service like GeForce Now, which still allows you to import third party libraries for streaming.
