Yeah I cancelled my Prime that I had for about 7 years a few months ago and... Its fine. Better maybe cause I don't buy something stupid online I didn't need. I try to find stuff locally first and free shipping makes me able to just buy something if I need to but haven't found anything I NEED to buy from them.

I missed Prime Video but honestly with ads I can also just use Tubi and it's the same jank cheap movie experience without supporting Bezos.

I do think it's funny that I know some people who did the whole prime day this year and complained they bought garbage and that the prces were the same when they had to return the items and buy a new one but also the waste still hurts me

I've never had one, other than their free trials. Only then it was to make use of the next day delivery.

I only really use it for the prime gaming free games :').

How does that work? Do they require another launcher or other kind of drm?

[-] fluckx@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

They have their own launcher. Other times its gog.com, steam or epic.

I got things like both KOTOR games, deathloop, the force unleashed series and a few others.

Sometimes the games are given via their DRM storefront, many of them are codes to Steam, Epic, and Humble

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

You need their launcher to install them, but I believe there is no "DRM" as such.

Once you claim the game, it's yours to keep even if you unsubscribe from Prime.
