First, Amazon got a digital storefront for games. It’s often redundant with Steam, but some of the titles don’t tie into Valve’s digital distribution service. Then, Steam started providing access to clients for free-to-play games, particularly of the MMO bent. Now, Amazon is following suit. The latest addition to Amazon’s digital storefront is the free-to-play section, which promises not only bonus in-game stuff for downloading the games through them, but also the sale of digital goods tied to the games, enabling the online distributor to make a little money off of the freemium business.
