Howdy pardners, this is a cheeky self-plug for !freegames@feddit.uk, a community I've created to post limited-time full-game free giveaways. It's been going a month or two and I'm already claiming games faster than I can play them, so come and join me and make your what-game-to-play choice paralysis worse!

Depends. Some of the games they give you are on gog. Those you certainly get to keep.

IRC Others are only available as long as you're a prime member.

    According to the game pages themselves:

    Games with Prime are free to collect and can be kept forever.

    I've not tried cancelling myself, but a quick web search for other people asking this question says yes you do keep them!

    What, no, absolutely not. In fact I recall the games you get via their launcher don't even have DRM on them. I'll check them again at some point.

    Some definitely do have DRM. I explicitly ended up buying Devil May Cry on Steam despite getting it with Prime because it opened the Twitch launcher every time I tried to play, which messed up Steam Input or whatever I was trying to use at the time.
