Palestine: If this list proves to be even remotely accurate, it will simply provide further evidence to support my belief that it may be prudent to avoid purchasing 'popular' games on GOG. The unintended consequences of this partnership have probably already been considered by GOG, but, I do wonder how sustainable this arrangement is.

Why buy well-known and/or highly-acclaimed games when one can simply wait for them to be offered through Amazon Prime Gaming?

Perhaps, I am in the minority, as, for months at a time, I tend to latch onto a single game. For that very reason, few titles reside within the realm of immediate interest.
To be fair I don't expect this to last very long at least not in that quantity. A game per month or 2 maybe like it used to be but not that many. Also they do repeat a lot of games (some given on Epic). I also expect Epic to drop their free games this year too or at least that was their initial end date. I think the issue you are talking about applies to other stores too because of all the free games.

Nothing in life is really guaranteed. I don't think enough people are waiting potentially years for the game to be given away for free to put a noticable dent in sales.
With this collaboration between GOG and Amazon, I’m hoping we’ll eventually be able to purchase GOG games using Amazon Pay (Wallet). That would be pretty convenient!

Are you talking about amazon gift cards you can find at a billion store stands?

If so, then yes, I could see that as a genuine good partnership. Because people for years have been asking for a payment method not tied to a credit card.

Yes exactly
I could get behind that move. Its never been safe for personal information to be so easy to input, onto the web. Having gift card credit would really boost sales for gog if they actually pushed for this.

Doubt staff will. They never miss a chance, to miss a chance

Wow, potential GOG gift cards at the supermarket right beside Steam—hell yeah!

I paid for all my GOG games with paysafecard since 2013.

I understand, plus its a good option. But in the USA, it is very difficult to use. It is not as common as europe.

It may not specifically be a gog card, but every time I walk past Amazon cards. If we could run creditthrough Amazon, I would laugh at steam card. Ha! Immature, but I would be pleased to have the option.

Oh, sure, I was thinking of like an Amazon Gift Card with a 'Vidja Games!' theme—GOG logo among others running along the bottom
