    Which one of these 2 services are better?
    I'm trying to buy Thief Deadly Shadows and I was about to buy it on D2D while it was on 5$ last week. But i decided to wait till this week since I don't know much about the game and most games are still sold for 5$ even tho their week ended. But Thief Deadly Shadows is back to 20$ on D2D :( . And its on for 15$ for Gamersgate. Which service is better?(faster download speed etc)

    D2D is better, STEAM is best. Some D2D games require STEAM to install. Go figure.
