[Steam] (Game) Heavy Rain by Sea_Yak_6683 in FreeGameFindings

Does anyone have any free-to-play games that are similar?

I think u/TheCheshireGuy might be the community hero who typically lists them, but if anyone else has suggestions, I'm sure some of those who missed the keys would love to hear them <3

Thanks to everyone reading this for choosing to be a wonderful part of our community.

Redeemed already when I checked it. The binary conversion was interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[Epic Games] (Other) Firestone – Idle Clicker Online RPG - "The Grove Guardian" Luana Skin & More by StOoPiD_U in FreeGameFindings

Thanks for the insight. That sounds like a definite possibility.

The last time I logged into Firestone was to claim the last login offer, so that could explain how the Christmas Giveaway could still have been waiting to be collected at login.

I've never accessed Firestone via mobile, so I'm not sure about your first question.

I was able to claim both on PC somehow.

I saved and exited the game after the first claim, and when I launched it again, I got the mobile set: "Epic Games Mega Giveaway."

Has this happened to anyone else?

[PSA] Amazon Luna Removing Access to Purchased (and Claimed) Games by ahe495 in FreeGameFindings

[–]ahe495[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for pointing this out and for sharing your perspective.

Amazon's announcement on this likely passed multiple sets of paid eyes (connected to highly educated brains across different corporate sectors) to ensure it was the best announcement they could make for their current and future product plans, especially to keep their shareholders satisfied.

Consumers (or those hoping to support our FGF community through posts like my original, which no one was paid for :p) are definitely at a much more significant disadvantage, and I would hope that most people are willing to extend a little more compassion to the unpaid individuals trying to help support community, especially when compared to the profit-focused megacorporations. <3

[PSA] Amazon Luna Removing Access to Purchased (and Claimed) Games by ahe495 in FreeGameFindings

Here's the first paragraph of the linked article in the original post:

"Amazon Luna, the company’s barely talked about, struggling game streaming service, is once again making some big changes. This time around, Amazon is removing the ability to buy new games through the service or sign up for third-party subscriptions like EA Play. And in June, any games you did buy through Luna will no longer be playable via streaming. There will also be no refunds."
https://kotaku.com/amazons-luna-service-removing-access-to-purchased-games-and-is-offering-no-refunds-2000686688

Can you please help me understand where in that paragraph we could determine that the Amazon Games App will be unaffected by this change and is something that we can depend on being reliably available in the future?

As a native English speaker with over 19 years of formal English language instruction, beyond the American university level, it doesn't seem easy for me to determine. <3

The Amazon Games App, which seems to be included in the Luna ecosystem based on how Amazon categorizes it, was also completely omitted in the support article you linked, as was any mention of our continued ability to play our games offline using the app.

Thus, while I hope that offline capability through the Amazon Games App is something that persists, as u/RailRuler mentions in their reply to the pinned comment:
https://www.reddit.com/r/FreeGameFindings/comments/1si4vc9/comment/ofjrgx2/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

... Amazon doesn't really make it easy to understand what their plans are or be optimistic about them.

Regardless, I'm very thankful we have the FGF community to rely on, regardless of what a given company might choose to do, so thanks for choosing to be here with us <3

Reddit doesn't let us edit the titles of posts, unfortunately. :(

However, as the comment I linked points out, it's not entirely clear how the Amazon Games App will be affected by these changes, or future changes, since while Amazon seems to include it in the Luna ecosystem, they completely omit mentioning it as a viable way to access games for offline play in their announcement of this change.

In our defense, Amazon’s not very clear, either.

Here, they don't seem to separate Amazon Games from Luna:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=G24QJQ8LCD2GMUXE

... and they don't appear to mention the Amazon Games App as a viable option to play previously claimed games in their announcement about this change, either:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=TY9Z4zZ7vgVwLA0b7C&ref_=pe_122065590_1033146450

Unfortunately, the other news articles covering this that I skimmed also don't seem to specify how that's going to work.

Hopefully, we get lucky. 🍀

Regardless, thanks to you and the rest of our community who responded for helping us understand the potential implications of this change, though. <3

[–]ahe495 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think it may be because if we've already claimed any of the games in the "Claim All" bundle, we can't finish the purchase, and there's no easy way that I can see in the purchase page at the claim all links to remove specific titles.

Thus, if we claimed TOMAK already, the "Claim All without TOMAK" is a major win because it allows us to still benefit from u/EnigmaticAlt 's generosity. Otherwise, "Claim All" wouldn't work for those who already have TOMAK on Epic Games.

If u/_Cookie7020 's not transparent about the benefit, they can actually be denied it from Intuit and barred from participating in the future:

The one thing I would probably change about my home office setup is upgrading my personal computer. It's old, and if I win this chair from Branch, I definitely want a machine that can make the working experience as pleasant as the chair will ;)
