Amazon erases Luna game libraries
Amazon is wiping purchased games from Luna cloud accounts on June 10, 2026, with no refunds. This is bad for gamers and a test case for whether the "Buy" button means anything online.
- Amazon will delete games people paid full price for, arguing in court that "Buy" was just marketing, not ownership.
- Google gave full refunds when Stadia shut down; Amazon studied that and chose not to.
- Save data can be downloaded for 90 days, then gets erased in September, and may not work on other platforms anyway.
- A California law now in effect bans calling something a "purchase" unless buyers actually own it or are clearly told it's a revocable license.
- A class action lawsuit and a 1.29 million-signature European campaign called Stop Killing Games are pushing lawmakers to force companies to keep sold games playable.
Outlook: The June 10 wipe is going ahead, but lawsuits and new laws are quickly closing in on the whole digital "ownership" model.
