The free games on prime accounts is probably exactly what will happen, and will probably be what needs to happen for it to be any amount of successful.

Look at Epic which offers free games but sees pretty slow growth outside of their flagships. Further, look at Amazon's lumberyard engine, which gathers dust for the most part.

I'm not convinced that their 'weight' will automatically guarantee wide adoption.

Amazon engineers are poorly compensated, overworked, abused, and write garbage code.

That's not a formula for winning.

Unfortunately, Amazon has all the money in the world to keep throwing at the problem. Eventually some of the spaghetti will stick to the wall.
