This might help. https://help.twitch.tv/customer/en/portal/articles/2572060-twitch-prime-guideDo you have to have Twitch prime or just Amazon prime? If Amazon prime alone works, how do you access it? Edit: Found it, as far as I can tell you need Twitch Prime not Amazon prime

It's been a while but I had a twitch account and I think all I needed to do was link my prime account.
So far I've gotten 53 games from them and I haven't even been with them since the beginning. The sad part is I have installed any of the games yet.
NopeAnnoying to have to have YET ANOTHER game management service installed. Any word on if you get a key that is transferable to Steam?
Nope
Major bummer.
On second thought, I'll have games from this current steam sale that I'll just be getting around to when I retire.
If the cost is another program to track games on, I'll just wait it out and pay $5 for the convenience of having everything in one place.

You can register the game to your online account without installing the launcher- that's what I've done. When I get the urge to actually play one of those games I'll install the launcher, finish the game, then uninstall it again.

I used to think so as well but I feel that a monopoly on anything is never good in the long run. It's good to have alternatives to Steam.I've come to the same conclusion. I'll pay a bit more for the convenience of a single launcher that works well.

I agree in theory, but there is also an opportunity cost to having a lot of splintering in a market. It is also worth noting that Steam does not work much like a monopoly, it works more like a market.
But overall the best solution would be a system that lets us combine multiple platforms.

It's not that 'steam is good'. It is more that Steam did it first, and most people's bulk of libraries exist on Steam. There is..pretty much zero reason for other 'fronts'. It isn't even about Steam doing it best, but the bulk of the issues have been worked out. Multiple clients that only sell certain games is not the answer. If Steam required that you ONLY buy games from Steam, that would be one thing, but it doesn't. You can buy games from dozens of other venues and activate them on Steam and at times cheaper than Steam offers. That is a HUGE advantage. Therefore, none of these other fronts offer ANYTHING that is an advantage to Steam. This is coming from someone who was a very late adopter.
These other groups starting their own are simply trying to cash in on that success and ultimately, most will fail long before Steam does and/or will never reach the success or list of games available. The only reason GOG has been successful is due to the non DRM. None of these other companies want non DRM because they are more worried about the money - otherwise they'd just promote Steam.
Problem is, there SHOULD be competition based on factors like price, inventory, features, UI, bonuses, etc. But steam has a HUGE weight on the scale in its favor simply for the desire for everything to be in one place, which 'distorts the marketplace' and lets it not have to compete as well on the things it should have to.
Standard retail practice - like 'loyalty programs'.
Or once Amazon can sell you on Prime, other sellers for a similar price suffer because 'might as well get the free two day shipping you paid for'.
Yea I agree, there should be competition, at least if you think about it from if Steam wanted to be greedy aspect. Let's be honest though, Steam hasn't had to compete because it's been putting games on sale beyond what ever happened before.
