Has anyone purchased any digital downloads. I did from blizzard and it was cool because the game ran without a cd. this is so much easier then swapping 20 discs. Does anyone know of any good and legal download sites for games. I dont mind not getting a book I just want to be able to run it without the cd.
I think steam is the most commonly used one and is one of the better ones but there are others like Stardocks Impulse and direct2drive. I've only ever used steam and it seems good so far (Except for the DRM).
steam is the best methinks. darkhorse - what drm? besides EA's lousy business model of putting securom on crysis and crysis warhead even though they were on steam, i don't know of any steam games w/drm.

Gamersgate.com is a nice option too. It's primary focus is strategy games but it has a lot of others games too and runs some nice specials. I new DD service called AWOMO is starting up soon as well. I get some things from Steam but tend to dislike it as it's the only one that runs the client while playing the game - it seems to be multiplayer friendly which is really not my thing. I've used D2D the most but have used gamersgate more frequently of late
I suggest trying all them all as they run different specials.
Steam ,D2D, Impulse, Good Old Games, and Gamersgate are all the best and most reliable ones around right now, I've used them all and never had and major problems.
C|assicdosgames.com. They have free downloads of every DOS game that has been officially and legally made freeware. Also, Liberated Games.com has all of the Windows games that have been made free.
how so? You can install the game as many times as you want, doesn't put any information on your comp other then steam... Nice try non steam believer!blade55555
if your talking to me i have no idea WTF your talking about, all i did was state a fact.
Steam has copy protection software in it, the only reason you dont hear steam called DRM very often is becasue most people only associate DRM with install limits and securom.
