Don't you have to pay for Twitch to get them? I don't do subscriptions on Amazon and Twitch.

Yes twitch prime comes with an amazon prime subscription as extra
service which they throw in. Probably one of the reasons why they often
use scrap the games from the bottom of the barrel, because they do not
really get new customers that way, but it is an incentive to keep the
subscription.
Occasionally however there is a gem in between depending on your taste.

If one stops subscribing, do they lose the free games?
