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?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

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

Thanks Jeff, very cool.

[–] steeznson 1 points 1 month ago

Theoretically, yes, you could.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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!

[–] steeznson 3 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I can recommend all of those, except sir whoopass cuz I've never seen that title before. Now you've got me curious.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You want it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I had a look, it's not my kinda game. Thank you tho!

[–] TingoTenga 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh, nice! Is there a chance to get Necromunda?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sorry... seems like I can't get the key for this one. My mistake, I remove it from the post. All the GOG are available except Shogun.

[–] TingoTenga 2 points 1 month ago

No worries, I've had that game wishlisted for a bit but haven't pulled the trigger. Thanks for the giveaway, though!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I would like to get Overcooked 2 please.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

In your PM!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Honestly, how do you get these? My to go shop for games is GOG as well but I never get these keys I can give away.

Edit: NWN is a good game. Even in the old days, it was possible to run it natively on Linux.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

I have Prime for a few months and they give a tons of games for free every weeks.

[–] GvS 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I would like to try Shogun Showdown!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

It's in your PM!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's very addictive if you like turn based combat & strategy games. I bought it on Steam a couple of days after it released and I think it's pretty good even tho I abandoned it Because it's quite challenging. You have to plan every. single. move.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Id love to try out necromunda
