Hello_there , to gaming in Pssst, can I interest you in some free video games?

I thought there was already a piracy community

smeg OP ,

Lol, this one is for honourable sailors of the king’s navy

    Roughly every week but I’ve not really noticed an exact pattern. I believe Lemmy lets you subscribe to a community as an RSS feed so you could use that as a notification if you can get it working!

    Fuck amazon. These aren’t “free”

    smeg OP ,

    All the ones not from Amazon are, and if you want you can just create a free Prime trial, claim all the free games, keep them indefinitely, and give them no money

    I’m not giving the site ANY traffic or userbase #s

    smeg OP ,

    No problem with that, plenty of indies on IndieGala and itch.io to claim instead

    Appreciate it :)!

    HidingCat ,

    Since many of us are subbed anyway, they're still something of value that one doesn't have to pay extra money for. And it's really easy to forget about them, so smeg's community is doing a nice service for the rest of us.

    Oh boy, have I got some treats in store for you...

    Question - is it just video games, or are you looking for tabletop RPGs too?

    smeg OP ,

    Ooh, I hadn’t considered free tabletop giveaways! Is that a print-at-home sort of thing?

    Edit: I misread tabletop RPGs as board games, d’oh! I think somewhere like !rpg might be better, but we could have a TTRPG Tuesday or similar.

    Arotrios ,
    @Arotrios@kbin.social avatar

    Pretty much, although these days a lot of folks find it more convenient to have the rules in .pdf for easy access. There's hundreds available. Here's a listing I had posted last night on the @13thFloor magazine I run over here on kbin - happy to crosspost if you feel it fits.

    smeg OP ,

    Ah OK, stuff that’s always free isn’t really what I made the community for, it’s more about grabbing games that are normally paid. I do think that !rpg would be a good place top cross-post to though!

    Arotrios ,
    @Arotrios@kbin.social avatar

    No worries & thanks for the suggestion.

    They give away a surprising number of games so it’s definitely worth noting

    myersguy , to gaming in Pssst, can I interest you in some free video games?

    If I have to have a prime subscription to get the game, it’s not free IMO

    Otherwise a great idea!

    smeg OP ,

    Technically true, though you can start a free trial of Prime and claim all the games, and then (supposedly) they’re still yours to keep after the trial expires. A small hoop to jump through, but it should mean free games!

    Hyperreality ,

    Depends. Some of the games they give you are on gog. Those you certainly get to keep.

    IRC Others are only available as long as you're a prime member.

    smeg OP , (edited )

    According to the game pages themselves:

    Games with Prime are free to collect and can be kept forever.

    I’ve not tried cancelling myself, but a quick web search for other people asking this question says yes you do keep them!

    HidingCat ,

    What, no, absolutely not. In fact I recall the games you get via their launcher don't even have DRM on them. I'll check them again at some point.

    gk99 ,

    Some definitely do have DRM. I explicitly ended up buying Devil May Cry on Steam despite getting it with Prime because it opened the Twitch launcher every time I tried to play, which messed up Steam Input or whatever I was trying to use at the time.

    @hogart@feddit.nu avatar

    Doesn’t really work if I’ve had a subscription before, or used said free month some time in the past.

    Only issue here is to flag it’s on Twitch Prime so everyone has the right expectation.

    smeg OP ,

    Can you not create a new account with a new (or alias) email? Or do they want phone number, card, or other less-easily-created details?

    The Amazon ones are tagged as such, but there are plenty of other providers with less hoops to jump through!

    hogart ,
    @hogart@feddit.nu avatar

    I haven’t tried. That’s not for me. I’d rather just buy the game or pirate it. Both are much easier.

    Omegamanthethird ,

    If I already have a subscription, anything extra is, in practicality, free.

    ReversalHatchery ,

    You shouldn’t assume that everyone is giving money to that pathetic company

    Omegamanthethird ,

    You shouldn’t assume that nobody is.

    ReversalHatchery ,

    I did not. OP did assume that everyone does, by not mentioning that these depend on an active amazon prime subscription.

    smeg OP ,

    Most of them don’t, and the ones that do are all tagged with [Amazon]. I made no such assumption!

    ReversalHatchery ,

    That is cool, thanks for the clarification!

    gk99 ,

    Amazon is a storefront, not the subscription. They actually do give out free stuff once in a blue moon, so just saying [Amazon] is not clarification enough. On reddit, subs like this would say “complimentary with Prime” or something like that.

    smeg OP ,

    Well if you click on the posts you’ll see that I do state that information in the description, I just don’t overload the title with it

    If you get bored of it, you could always list it on a local swap/giveaway site for someone else to finish.

    freamon , to casualuk in Anyone interested? I can pass on a message...

    They should post this on GitHub, with all the other “I’ve done the fun stuff, anyone else want to do the boring bits?” projects.

    Jaccident , to casualuk in Anyone interested? I can pass on a message...

    Ask them if they’ll fill in the top bit, but wipe clean the bottom bit. I want to do the boat myself thanks.
