It's called Prime VIDEO for a reason. We go there to watch films and series. The interface is already cluttered with useless recommendations beyond belief and finding anything worth watching borders on impossible. If you want to add games, publish a separate app.

Come die like all the other platforms that tried to compete with Steam.

I've had prime for a while, and recently tried Luna with my nieces and nephews, since its included. My opinion of the platform isn't great.

For context we have a pretty reasonable internet connection (it's not glass, but we don't have issues with Console and PC gaming), and I did so on Amazon hardware, a Firestick and Luna controller. We tried Hogwarts, a Fallout game and a goat simulator game. Very little of it was what I would call reasonably playable. It left me questions about things like were we perhaps accessing it during peak times? Could neighbour's usage (e.g. streaming) be affecting our experience? is there a higher level tier you can pay for? (and we were getting an F2P experience)

I've no interest in the concept, I'd rather play games on my own hardware. But I've been looking at streaming games with a sort of curiosity because I've heard people say it's getting better. I think it's got a ways to go, and I sort of hope it turns into one of those things that never really catches on.

Ugg...why?....Sure...good games for the price of Prime I suppose is a good thing, but with the exception of Sony/XBox, every gaming subscription service I've seen sucks. The Apple Arcade has maybe 2 or 3 games I've enjoyed and I've honestly never heard of anyone liking it. Netflix has their games...equally pointless, more gimmickey....but regardless....who the fuck wants this? Also, in every case, the games I recognized were already free to play or super-cheap. Games Pass gives you real games that were huge hits....it provides immense value if you like those game. In fact the lack of an equivalent of one on the Switch is the only thing keeping me from running out and buying a Nintendo Switch 2 right now!!! I love the hardware, but WILL NOT spend $70 per game for 2 weeks of entertainment.

Look, we're adults...new features cost money. I'd rather you don't offer me games and maybe play a few less intrusive ads in your HORRIBLE streaming service? I really love the Boys and Invincible...but beyond that?...eh...there's gotta be something good in there...I just don't know of any, nor has anyone raved about their series. I think most would rank them maybe #5 among the streaming services?

Offering gaming with video streaming is kinda like offering landscaping services at your local strip club. They're very different audiences with very different needs. I don't see any benefit or synergy.

If Amazon wanted to start their own XBox games pass rival as a separate product?...that could have some traction...but giving away shitty mobile games in prime?...why? Either keep your costs down or give us something we want...A PC-based Games Pass rival could potentially be interesting...a Nintendo-Switch based games pass would be amazing if done decently...shitty mobile games?..no!

Basic Luna service is already included with Amazon Prime. Amazon must be desperate to draw more attention to the service by copying Netflix and integrating it into the video service so you "can't miss it". Likely a move to help advertise the higher-tier Luna you have to pay extra for.

I have an NVDIA Shield Pro, which has GeForce NOW cloud gaming. I have yet to use it but it looks like all I need now is a wireless controller. Anyone use GeForce NOW regularly instead of running Windows or Steam on local hardware?
