It\u2019s time for your monthly reminder that your Amazon Prime subscription also comes with a bunch of free games. And in many cases, while that \u201cfree\u201d perhaps deserves scarequotes for falling under a subscription fee for a monstrously evil corporation, they\u2019re actually yours to keep forever, with no DRM, and no requirement to keep up your sub. That\u2019s true for eight of this month\u2019s offerings, including\u00a0Civilization III and\u00a0Thief: Definitive Edition.<\/p>\n

The reason for this proper, actual ownership is Prime partners with GOG for a lot of the games it includes in the subscription, meaning that you\u2019re getting a code that allows you to download a DRM-free version of the game that boots from an .exe, rather than requiring any launchers or proprietary software. So while you may observe that\u00a0Civ 3 is a 24-year-old game, and as such perhaps not quite matching the sorts of games added to services like PS Plus or Game Pass, in this case you\u2019re getting\u00a0Civ 3 to\u00a0keep. You could also point out that the game is currently available on GOG for $0.75<\/a>, which is approximately 185 times cheaper than an annual Prime subscription, and there I couldn\u2019t argue back.\u00a0Thief: Definitive Edition, however, is $25, so that\u2019s definitely a sweeter deal. And, you know, as much as that game definitely shouldn\u2019t have been called \u201cThief,\u201d and as embarrassing as its The Crow cosplay may have been, it\u2019s actually a pretty decent game in its own right.<\/p>\n

Amazon Prime likes to make it as confusing as possible to acquire your freebies, releasing the games in four separate batches across the month, guaranteeing you to forget at least some of them. It also removes other games from the selection at the same times, really keeping you on your toes. But the two headline games for August are both there to grab right now<\/a>, along with big names added in July like\u00a0Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Marvel\u2019s Midnight Suns and\u00a0Saints Row IV: Re-Elected. Also coming later this month are\u00a0FATE: The Traitor Soul\u2013an expandalone entry in Travis Baldtree\u2019s legendary\u00a0Diablo-like series\u2013and last year\u2019s deckbuilding roguelite\u00a0Necroking. Here\u2019s the full list of games for August:<\/p>\n
