Amazon Luna is killing off third-party library support, with save files not ‘guaranteed’ to work on other platforms

After deciding not to compete with Steam, it seems Amazon doesn't even want to compete with other cloud services, continuing the trend of downsizing its gaming departments more and more. This time around, it's cutting down its Luna cloud service by disallowing players from playing games on their own third-party platforms and not guaranteeing their saves will carry over.

As PC Gamer writes, Amazon will bar you from playing games via the "Bring Your Own Library" function, which previously allowed players to stream titles through Luna no matter where they bought them. You'll still be able to use the service as such by June 10, which is when all your third-party purchases will be rendered unusable on Luna.
