Would you like to subscribe to Amazon music to open all sound options in your Amazon prime game? Lol
EA ain't any better. I own Mass Effect 1 and 2 (the base games) on EA app. I linked my EA account to my XBox Live account to have access to EA pro via Game Pass. My two games got elevated to the full games because they are "free" with EA pro. The funny thing is the other day my EA account and my XBox Live account got unlinked for whatever reason. Both Mass Effect 1 and 2 were not in my library anymore cause they were elevated to the EA pro version and i don't own those versions i just own the base games. Not a problem for now i just re-linked both accounts. But unless i call EA i basically just lost both games if i unsub from Game Pass. Not even sure calling EA would solve the issue. Anyone thinking EA is any better than Amazon is living in la la land. It's an awful company and a badly run company.

Would it? You'll never "own" a title again if they had their way. Once they decide its gone or you need to pay x to access it, it's gone. Just like Nintendo. Plus it's not free if you have to pay the ever-rising Prime subscription fee.
Nothing lasts forever , but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it! I consider free games, movies, Twitch subscription as extra's since I have Prime mainly for shipping parcels.

Who said otherwise? I have been unable to play most of my EA games on my series s because EA decided to disable my account because i had not played any EA game i a few years, i found this out last month when i fired up the first SWBF and BF1942 to find my account had been disabled and i needed to go the email the games accounts were linked to, unfortunatly the email acount was a NTLworld from back in the late 2000, so i have just given up on EA and will just take the hit and have nothing more to do with them. But i don't know why they think they have a right to just disable accounts in this manner.

I know it's popular to hate on Amazon but man there's some crazy hyperboles here. I don't think it's possible to do worse than EA and Activision.
Amazon has some pretty bad press around the way they treat their employees. They might not openly sexually harass them like activision but still some pretty bad issues like inhumane work hours, stress and pressure to finish your work in your own free time.

umm Lost Ark is wonderful and the most popular new mmorpg in years.
Even more bot than original asian version, and i have been ban twice from the amazon version just because i am in a country that Amazon doesn't know... (they don't deliver there too) In the end friends and myself have gone back to original one, the amazon version isn't at the level of the original and the "occidental" change make the game boring. Also the popularity of amazon lost ark gone down as fast it was up at the launch.

I worked in one of their warehouses for a few weeks. Crazy place to work, with crazier staff. Not bought anything from Amazon since. The last item I bought was a toothbrush replacement, they sent my a SD card reader. Enough said.

I was a little scared when i bought razer viper8 and then this new g.skill 4400 ram which was 310e, but both came in perfect condition, box was slightly damaged but nothing serious, ram box was basically scratch free and saved me 80e. 😀
