Amazon's Twitch Prime is being re-branded as Prime Gaming

amazon-prime-gaming.png

Those that enjoy free games may be familiar with Twitch Prime, a benefit available to those with Amazon Prime subscriptions and a Twitch account. Most commonly, Amazon offers free games redeemable through their own launcher on PC, as well as bonuses for those who subscribe to streamers on Twitch. From here on out, however, Twitch Prime will no longer be used to refer to the service, with Amazon re-branding and changing the name. As of now, Twitch Prime has become Prime Gaming, in the hopes of it being more marketable to a wider audience, according to a comment from the director of the Prime Gaming division. Twitch Prime first began in 2016, with its free game offerings beginning around 2018.

Don't care. Still gonna call it Twitch Prime.
Also, "emotional benefits" has to be the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in this context.

Uhhh..."emotional benefits?"

So will I finally be able to summon a catgirl to be at my side in all of these lonely nights when my back could use a rub and a scratch, especially the ones after I come home from work!?

I mean, what is it really, free mental health counseling?

Yes, "emotional benefits", as stated in documents leaked by Rod Breslau before the official announcement.

Gross I hate it. It's almost like they want to run it into the ground.
Prime Video
Prime Music
Prime Gaming

It falls into place with the other ones.

"Prime eBooks" could also be used to replace Kindle Books or whatever it's called.

Prime Simping or Prime Thotting would have been more apt names considering the direction the platform has taken.
Prime Boobie Streaming

But twitch isn't just about gaming anymore either. I wonder if this means they're also moving away from the twitch prime benefits as they are now.

Another reason for Twitch to either get smacked hard by the next big San Andreas Earthquake, get sold someday to another company like T-mobile, or vouch and root for Justin Kan to get up and raise money so that he can buy Twitch back.
