Comment - Isn't this different from the examples cited? The examples are subscription service within a video game ecosystem (PlayStation, Xbox, etc). Isn't Amazon Luna it's own thing? One cannot go "buy an Amazon Luna" and not subscribe to the service, right? Sergecross73 msg me 01:08, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Sergecross73:, sorry for my late reply. You're right, those are platform-specific, but Luna is still a cloud gaming subscription service with a changing selection of games available, so I'm thinking they're still fairly similar. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 19:42, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I get why the PS Now article was deleted, but to me, this feels more comparable to the list of Google Stadia games, which closed as keep in 2020. Sergecross73 msg me 19:47, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

While I do see your point, Stadia was treated as a separate platform by reliable sources. As far as I can tell, Luna will be cloud-based game subscription service. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 20:01, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My understanding is that they were the exact same sort of thing put on by rival corporations. Why should the payment method (paying for individual title versus flat monthly payment) make a difference? Sergecross73 msg me 21:53, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not the payment method perse, but its rotating selection of available games for streaming. Or have I misunderstood Stadia? soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 22:46, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, I think it's more about the difference between Luna and something like PS Now. I get it when it's PS Now, where it's games from the PS4 library rotating in and out of streaming availability. We don't need to track that, we've got the PS4 game library list. But Luna games don't float in and out of some sort of Amazon game library. Either they're on Luna streaming, or they're not available through Amazon's gaming platform in any capacity. I think that's my hangup. If I'm wrong, anyone feel free to correct me. I don't use any of these streaming services. Sergecross73 msg me 23:38, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This is a WP:CATALOG inappropriate for a list. Shooterwalker (talk) 02:44, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as NOTDIRECTORY and for not meeting LISTN as a notable subgrouping where these games are discussed in a substantiative fashion as Amazon Luna games versus ports, etc. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 15:03, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
