I don't think I will EVER deal with this company again. I can not access my games; I can't get any customer service; all I get is automated email responses and I still don't have access. They have my money, I have nothing. I can not imagine worse service than this. DO NOT BUY from D2D now they have moved. And there is no human to talk to, and I am sick of getting the same useless email over and over again. I wish there was a rating of -1 or maybe -10. I repeat, vote with your wallet; DO NOT BUY from D2D until they fix their problem.

I purchased several games from D2D, and now that Gamefly took over (over 6 weeks ago) almost none of my PC games are available for download. GS took over Impulse, and my games were available right away. I have contacted support at Gamefly several times, with no result except a promised a 20% discount, but that won't cut it if they cannot deliver what I already paid for. It seems that Gamefly bit off much more than they can chew, I would steer clear until they unsnarl the mess that they are in.

I bought Dragon Age: Origins three years ago, and now when I need to download it again it won't appear on the Gamefly client. Attempts to contact customer service have gone totally ignored, and I am certainly not going to rebuy a game that I already own; even if it is only $5 at the moment.

Title says it all. As soon as I entered my number (same as on file with bank and visa), I got a message saying that they could not validate my number. I made sure I typed it correctly and tried again with the same result. I have had an account with D2D for years and bought several games on this card without a problem. Submitted a ticket to support during their business hours as there is no number to call but no response yet. Definitely will never use them again. Buying digital is supposed to be convenient, not a pain in ass.

(Note: This review is for games bought in March 2010 and March 2011. I have not had any experience with the site since then) I have bought two games here, downloaded, paid for and installed without trouble. Direct2Drive was also the cheapest on the market with these games. (I bought RIFT and The Witcher 2) Luckily, I have not had to deal with their customer service. It sounds like it's the CS that is responsible for all these bad ratings. To future buyers: Do not just look at the total rating, rather look at the individual reviews. Some 1-stars are simply because people cannot find out how to download or install a game. In my case, the company provided what I need, which is a game download. Cheaper than the rest of the market, too. I do not see the big problem here.

I tried ordering Tropico reloaded from this site. Was my first attempted purchase there. When I checked out the system told me my card couldn't be processed and they did not give me the game I ordered. Went to my cards website to find out why and saw that direct2drive had charged me for the amount of the game! I have been waiting for a response from them for a couple days now. Even went to ignsupport as well and opened a ticket there too. Still haven't heard anything. I really want the game or my money returned!! They seem nearly impossible to get hold of. I'm very disappointed with this company. :(

I have re-downloaded the installation for Fable 3, 4 times using their download manager. I only used their download manager because no browser download for Fable 3 was even available. Once downloaded, and the installation launcher opens, I click install only to receive an error to insert disk 3. FAQ says this error happens because when installing through the web browser, not when the download manager is used. Customer service keeps telling me to check FAQ even though I tell them it isn't helping. The fact that they do not have phone support is rediculous to me. From now on I will check the site throughout, before purchasing. I let me excitement get the better of me. Bottom line I paid for a product, and what I received was more or less broken. I would like a browser based link provided so I can download and install my game using the directed solution they have provided. Incident:111031-006693

Bought 2 games from D2D and it's been a good experience. Once i got the download to start (i used comrade as couldn't get it to work otherwise) it was plain sailing. Downloaded and installed BF3 in around 4 hours, not bad for a game of that size. I would thoroughly recommend them and find it difficult to understand the huge list of negative comments (which is why i've posted here to try to give some balance). I used them for BF3 as they were cheaper than amazon.co.uk and .fr (i live in France)
