Technically true, though you can start a free trial of Prime and claim all the games, and then (supposedly) they're still yours to keep after the trial expires. A small hoop to jump through, but it should mean free games!
Depends. Some of the games they give you are on gog. Those you certainly get to keep.
IRC Others are only available as long as you're a prime member.
According to the game pages themselves:
I've not tried cancelling myself, but a quick web search for other people asking this question says yes you do keep them!
What, no, absolutely not. In fact I recall the games you get via their launcher don't even have DRM on them. I'll check them again at some point.
Doesn't really work if I've had a subscription before, or used said free month some time in the past.
Only issue here is to flag it's on Twitch Prime so everyone has the right expectation.
Can you not create a new account with a new (or alias) email? Or do they want phone number, card, or other less-easily-created details?
The Amazon ones are tagged as such, but there are plenty of other providers with less hoops to jump through!
