GOG gets into cloud gaming with Amazon Luna partnership

This feels like a strange collaboration. In my view, GOG is all about owning the things you purchase. Amazon on the other hand, has a reputation of randomly banning people when you trigger any of their algorithms (such as the shipping company losing your package at their terminal). You lose all your purchased digital content as well as any existing balance.<p>I get that in this case you&#x27;ll still have your GOG content at GOG (hopefully) but Luna still seems to require an Amazon account. I would go out of my way to avoid having any dependency on Amazon.<p>I guess it&#x27;s neat until it isn&#x27;t though.

Great initiative, unfortunately not widely available yet:<p>&quot;Luna is currently available to customers in US (excluding US territories), mainland UK, Germany, Canada, France, Italy, and Spain.&quot;

That&#x27;s nice - can we finally have an official Linux launcher?

What is Luna server using? Linux with Wine translation or Windows?<p>The latter would be boring. The former would be interesting.

Now, that easily wins the &quot;most unexpected combo&quot; of the year as only one word comes to my mind :<p>Why?<p>I mean, I get it, it is about money. It always is. But I&#x27;m really wondering what is the benefit of GOG, and more insidiously Amazon.
