Anyone who has amazon prime should check out the "prime gaming" page tor free GOG keys. There are loads of games from like Scorn to Baldurs Gate; Call of Juarez to Dredge. All totally free to keep on GOG from the keys Amazon give you.

They are a shitty company but this benefit is not well publicised enough and probably won't last forever so worth taking advantage. There are Epic cd keys on there too but I don't use it personally.

Edit: Last bit of testimony - it has cured me of my humblebundle addiction where I picked up the low tier every month. Growing my GOG library has been satisfying so I have at least some kind of backup from Steam (just in case the unthinkable happens).

Wait, so can you use the free trial to grab some free games and them cancel? Getting free games legitimately, maybe flipping some keys for a profit?

I just grabbed all GOG keys with my trial, worked perfectly fine.

Thanks Jeff, very cool.

Theoretically, yes, you could.

Oh cool! I used to go claim the Prime keys back in the day, but I never ended up playing any because, screw that. But if they have GOG keys, count me in!

Yeah it used to just be Epic and the Amazon client (whatever it's called) but the majority has been GOG for the past few months.

Will Amazon offer the free Prime trial again to someone who has already used and canceled it once?
