Direct2Drive is having a Summer Sale Too!

I didn't see this posted, but Direct2Drive is having an awesome summer sale too, new deals every day all month of July.

Yeah, I'll pass on anything D2D. Especially since I have to re-buy a game on Steam because D2D refused to reset my activation limit unless I purchased another copy for $50.

 

Grr, that is frustrating. What game was that by the way? I only had an incident once like that and they reset it for me.

 

lol I still can't pay anything on D2D. Haven't been able to for a year. Their support was useless, they just won't take my money.

Not gonna bother trying again.

 

they realized how much money steam is bringing in with the sales. 2 late bra plus steam is just a much better service

 

Eh, I can buy my games on D2D and link them to the Steam interface anyways. I would only lose out on achievements for the most part. I've bought about 6 games from D2D this past year and not had any issue downloading, installing, or playing them. Not to mention buying a Steamworks game on D2D is the same as buying it on Steam. Though you'll likely get it for cheaper based on all the weekend sales and % based discounts D2D gives out like candy.

That being said, their sales so far haven't interested me. Big discounts on games I already have and not enough savings to make me bite on games I want.

 

I've only bought games from d2d that link directly to steam (steamworks titles) ie Civ 5 and metro 2033

There are a few good ones that'll activate just fine in steam, but yeah their offerings are pretty weak this week.

 

I dont mind purchasing from D2D If its a good deal, as a matter of fact when im going to purchase a new game or such i most usually do it on D2D.

 

So much hate for D2D. I use Steam primarily but come on fellas, let's not rag on them. If you don't like it don't use it.

 

@HTWingNut Agreed, D2D Does a wonderful job IMO and i have never had any issues with them!

 

I've had pretty good luck with D2D. When I had a problem purchasing a game a while back, their support was quick to respond and even gave me a 25% off coupon for my trouble.

If they have something I want at a price I'm willing to pay, I have no problem handing them some cash. The only thing that sucks is I have to pay sales tax, which isn't the case with Steam.

 

I bought a game from D2D once. A couple weeks later I went to reinstall it and found out that it had completely vanished from the library. To their credit, they did give me a full refund, but I thought it was a little weird.

 

First of all, thanks HTWingNut for the heads up on the sale.

Personally I've had good experiences with D2D.

 

More places to bust my bank account.... My bank account is crying at me right now already haha.

 

during these deals, you can buy 10+ PC games for under 50 bucks. If you want your bank account to cry, try buying 10 PS3 / 360 games, lol!
