This is exactly how I bought my ArmA II. I really had no choice, the game was stuck at its $50 price point a full year past its release (at least on DD services, the only way I purchase my games). But a few months after, ArmA 2 was on sale for $20 (or maybe less?). ArmA 2 is the biggest hassle to deal with if you have to get it through 'different' means, particularly because the game isn't popular among pirates due to its anti-piracy measures.

I wonder why most developers don't use FADE. Sounds funny and effective to use....

It's been beaten, but it's still a hassle irregardless. FADE isn't even the problem if you purchase a CD Key, the problem is that it might take awhile to obtain.

If the site does not specifically list the game as a Steam game, EADM or some other download manager game, then yes, you'll likely have to download a torrent and get the game that way, then activate it when installing.

You can get combined operations (Arma 2 and Arma OA) at $30 on amazon and $35 on steam.
