    I want to buy Singularity but it is not available on Steam, how is Direct2Drive? does it have it's own client and is easy to use like Steam?  
     
    Thanks.

    i've only heard good things about Direct2Drive though i've never used it myself.  
    i don't think it has it's own client. last time i checked, you just buy the game and that's it.

    It's okay. You don't have to download a client/whatever, so that's good.

    yep, you can download game clients as many times as you'd like, just remeber to write the cd keys down somewhere safe (although i'm almost positive you can also retrieve those through your account as well.)

    Actually, from personal experience, you can only unlock your game using their activation code for a certain number of times. However, I contacted their customer service once saying I can no longer unlock a game I bought, and they just gave me a new activation code.

    The good thing about D2D is that you can trick it into thinking that you are an American buying it in USA and so use their US $ prices instead of inflated euro or AU$ prices you would otherwise have to pay on Steam for example. I still prefer Steam tho overall.
    Not saying I ever done that kind of stuff tho ....

    If memory serves me right you can't. That's the disadvantage of D2D. It's tied to your purchase region.
