I've never had one, other than their free trials. Only then it was to make use of the next day delivery.

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

I’ve been doing it since December. Agreed

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.

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 10 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 10 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.
