I mostly buy on ebay now and sometimes the main store. If I have no resort but to use amazon then I use someone else's account but that hasn't had to happen yet in a while (wanted to get the new pixel 8a and amazon had a promotion with a free $100 gift card)

I've never had one nor would I even consider it.

I’ve been doing it since December. Agreed

I only really use it for the prime gaming free games :').

How does that work? Do they require another launcher or other kind of drm?

[-] fluckx@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

They have their own launcher. Other times its gog.com, steam or epic.

I got things like both KOTOR games, deathloop, the force unleashed series and a few others.

Sometimes the games are given via their DRM storefront, many of them are codes to Steam, Epic, and Humble

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

You need their launcher to install them, but I believe there is no "DRM" as such.

Once you claim the game, it's yours to keep even if you unsubscribe from Prime.

I really need to cancel my membership. Most things I really want can be bought on Ebay open-box for cheaper. Any daily essentials I just go to Sam's Club or Aldi.
