Any time you deal with Amazon, you’re either getting fucked, fucking over someone else, or both. That’s their whole business model, taking advantage of people! Just don’t.

Yes, it’s true that you won’t be able to access your third-party games through Luna anymore. However, you’ll be able to access those games through the third-party account you had to link to Luna to purchase the game. As an example, if you purchased a game from EA on Luna, then you’ll be able to continue playing that game through EA directly after these changes to Luna’s services go into effect. You aren’t getting refunds because you aren’t losing the games. You’re only losing access to them through Luna, which is fundamentally different from losing the game entirely.
While I wouldn’t have bought games for cloud gaming myself, some consumers likely bought games without other means of playing them and are now unable to make use of their purchased content.
I guess so? But that seems a bit like grasping at straws. They still have access to the games, unlike what the outrage-bait headline suggests.
And even in those cases, they could just switch to a rival service like GeForce Now, which still allows you to import third party libraries for streaming.
Nothing new for Amazon. You should see what they did to everyone’s Comixology collections. I spent good money purposely buying manga from Comixology as they were the only store with high-res copies. Guess who replaced all those books with low-res copies when they shuttered the Comixology servers.
You just don’t buy from Amazon.
Is there a real source for this?
There is an official communication from them, I need to look for it, but yeah, it is real.
Edit: Found it

This should be considered a scam.
It’s not, though. You still have access to the games through the publisher, just not through Amazon.
The headline is just rage bait.
What absolute fucking idiot still pays for media?
This literally always happens. Every time. Learn or be laughed at.
