:/ I didn't grab the first 3 games (SNK bundle?) the day they were released but I could still get 'em via the Prime Loot crown icon.

That bundle's up for the whole month:

So Amazon build Prime to be this service with great benefits - then they increase the price and start taking benefits away!

Twitch Prime members will lose ad-free viewing. Which is disappointing because if you ever try and watch a few channels there are so many ads. Although you can pay for the $8.99 turbo service to remove the ads!

They've got the monopoly on streaming services and have people "invested" in it for years already. Where else are people going to go, Mixer?

I feel like the only person in the world who doesn't watch streaming.

That moment you realize you've had Amazon Prime for years and haven't been getting the free games on Twitch...

To be fair I mainly use Prime Video and abuse the one day delivery. I buy a lot of books and it's nice getting them pronto.

Never seen me sitting next to you on the sofa, not watching?

I know that feel bro. I've had Prime for 3 years now.

This month they're giving away System Shock Enhanced Edition, SOMA, Sanitarium and Darksiders Warmastered Edition.

Always wanted to try SS.

Free Games with Prime only started in March of this year, so it's not like you've been missing out on years of free gaming!

Only streaming I've watched regularly is the Mario Maker stuff GR peeps do.

Shock is dated now but is still a phenomenal game IMO. At the time it was a jaw dropping experience!

Don’t know if I’ve claimed my games for this month yet so I need to do that. That said I’ve not installed a single one of these freebies yet!

This month's freebies are:

Ken Follet's The Pillars of the Earth (Telltale-style narrative game based around one of the most popular books ever)
Overcooked (Cooperative kitchen-based yelling simulator)
Aer: Memories of Old (Rime/Journey-like exploration game)
Overload (Descent-like shooter)

Oh gooseberry fool, I've been after overload for a while but it's expensive. It's great in vr.

Seems to be some decent games free at the moment. I claimed the SNK bundle, Smoke And Sacrifice and Poi.

I just counted how many free games I have through this, it's 60! I've only ever played 2! I feel bad that even though I own them, I'll probably never get to play some of these great games.

What a time to be alive.

You've probably all had the email about this, but just in case: You can now gift one free copy of each of December's games to anyone else on Twitch (in addition to those you've claimed yourself). They just have to have a Twitch account, and don't need to link it to their Amazon account. And it sounds like you'll be able to gift future freebies too.

So get giving.

January's games are up; Republique, Hyper Light Drifter, Orwell and Bomber Crew.

Available to download until Feb 28.

New games are up. This month we have Flame in the Flood, Dear Esther, Downwell and Draknek & Co Puzzle Collection. (Sokobond, A Good Snowman is Hard to Build and Cosmic Express.)
