Direct2Drive has been having a lot of good sales this week, but I'm not sure if they are reliable or not. Does anyone here buy from direct2drive?

They're very reliable and just as good as steam. You can even buy games from D2D and register them on steam so its as if you bought it from steam.

Like gmaster said, D2D is very reliable. I buy just as much games from Steam, as I do D2D.

Be aware that the Direct2Drive service was recently bought by Gamefly and there may be significant changes coming soon.

I purchased 3 games from D2D and I have been very satisfied so far. They even responded faster than Valve when I had problems with purchasing a game from outside of Canada (my designated address in their system).

Valve still replied really quick. I was just surprised on how much faster D2D did.

This post is very misleading. There are only a small selecting of games purchased from other digital distribution sites that let you activate on steam.

D2D is good. I've used it for years. I also use Steam and Gamersgate. Basically, just shop the sites for the best deals. Gamersgate is definitely a site you should check out - they always have stuff on sale.

Bought the Witcher 2 from D2D for 33$. Super reliable and no worries since they are run by IGN and GameFly.

I've had several good experiences with them and would gladly purchase from them again. The only issue I had was sometimes slow download speeds, but I live rather far away from their target markets (China), so that may be the culprit there.
