Glad to see many GOG games coming this month.

Moonscars looks pretty cool, played the demo during a next fest a while back. Almost mistook Close to the Sun for Crying Suns, which is a kind of FTL/Into the Breach hybrid, but Close to the Sun is more of a walking sim.

I am only mad that I have had Prime forever and only started using GOG this year. So many top games have been given away DRM free since 2021.

Very weird that they give more GOG and Epic games than games on their own platform.
I'm not complaining though.

The Humble bundle to Prime Gaming pipeline seems to be a thing. Chasm: The Rift and Blade of Darkness were in a Humble bundle just last month.

I had look Moonscars up again. It's look interesting and gladly take it.

The 4.99€ best spend of the month.

Nice selection of unique titles and classics on GOG this month. Aside from House of Golf 2, every Epic offering seems to have been a previous weekly giveaway, although those who missed Guardians of the Galaxy will surely be very happy to see it return. To be fair, Dishonored, Overcooked and Close to the Sun were Epic freebies too; the choice of drm free copies is at least a bonus though.

So why did I buy Tomb Raider LAD trilogy on GOG launch 3 years ago?.....

Whatever.

I hope Amazon pays GOG well for all these giveaways. Hopefully it will help GOG with its finances going forward. Seems like a good partnership as long as they pay GOG properly. Happy to see more GOG games on Amazon :)

That would be a horrible deal because people pay Amazon for a subscription, while GOG burns games from its catalog just for such ridiculous advertisement. Many of those games are important.

Have you considered who will pay full price in the short term for any of the last 4 months selected games? Also, who will keep buying a single game directly to GOG that costs more than $4USD when you can get over 10 GOG games and many more on other PC platforms for such low price? Plus, the rest of the benefits like video, reading, music and free shipping. Who is prone of getting the money and the tentative loyalty on that advertisement model?

GOG needs to get a lot of income directly from this Amazon campaign, or they must find a cheaper and smarter way to advertise and directly monetize such effort. A million times I would prefer to directly throw the giveaway bomb of Mafia, BioShock, Thronebreaker, Dishonored, A Plague Tale: Innocence (Just to name 5) in my own store by myself with all the limitations and low expectations I could have for being small and fragile than let others deliberately use me for little value.

As a user, I enjoy very much what has been happening in the last months, but I better think it's something temporary. GOG is an independent store and must survive by its own. If this trend of +10 GOG games continue for another 2 months, I'll start to worry that Amazon is quietly taking over GOG.

Well, I did not judge the deal, I just mentioned such possibility because it can not be ruled out.

We must rule it out as it would be devastating. We must think GOG is getting a very good income, and the deal will be temporary. Then, each to their business.
