Amazon costs money. I don't understand this weird definition of "free".
As we state in the article, it does require an Amazon Prime account.
The article more serves as a reminder for people to redeem the games on their accounts before they are removed by Epic/Amazon etc. As they usually only give you a few days to redeem the games before they're gone.
We don't feature "free" games on services like Game Pass due to the fact that once your subscription ends, you lose ownership of those games, unlike with Amazon Prime. Prime Gaming is an added benefit that many people are unaware of, and as a lot of people have a Prime account, it's good to make them aware of the games they could be getting.
