Who would've imagined given your disaster apps like the Appstore and your shitty "free app" giveaways. Even the FAQs you posted after shutting down the service were purposely vague and irresolute.

Of course I will consume digital products from you again! Said fucking no one.

Also it was just brazenly clear they never talked to gamers and were aiming for a nonexistent customer. Cloud based gaming (i think that's what they were trying to sell) might attract a few people, but it's obviously a bad idea and it was clearly being phoned in as part of a "we have decided this is what we will tell thr customer to want" type deal.

I recently learned that you get free games with prime. I even got a decent title via that way, I believe. I wouldn’t know where to look it up though…

!freegames@feddit.uk is a great community to get notified. I've grabbed a couple thanks to posts from there.
