For those of us who have never used D2D; how does it work? In the DRM free versions does it have their client bound with it? Can you use dev patches on the DRM free versions of things or do you have to wait for D2D. It says on the front page that you can redownload stuff. Even better is the a D2D FAQ explaining the basics.

Others can probably explain better. AFAIK you can use their downloader, or you can download with a browser (which probably doesn't support resuming). A lot of games seem to need D2D specific patches, but for DRM free or indie games i'm not so sure.
I've only bought Bioshock from them (last year some time) and I downloaded it with firefox, downloaded the patch from them. Installed the patch. Entered the registration key. It's still available for re-download on my account.

You mean this?

I'm still offering a Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter CD key.Would like to trade it for the two Divinity games.

Holy shit. Is it DRM free?

@bansama
I sent them an e-mail,they fixed it. ( i mean D2D and the Atari pack )

Fallout at retail has SecuROM only as a Disc Check but only the launcher has Securom; the game exe is DRM-Free so you can launch the game using it instead.
Securom might still install in your system because the patches automatically execute the launcher that contains SecuROM but if you uninstall SecuROM and never touch the launcher again it won't be reinstalled.

Only if the patch replaces the .exe. If not retail patches are fine. Generally D2D and GamersGate use .exe wrappers as DRM as opposed to Steam which uses their platform.

Good to hear.

Keep in mind, it is not an activation model Securom. It is the same Securom that we have had for almost a decade (just a disc check). So I don't think it will need to install things either way. I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure I am not :p

GTA IV $15 http://www.microsoft.com/games/en-US/games/pages/sales.aspx

It is still SecuROM v7 according to gamecopyworld.com but I don't know if it installs anything because I got it from D2D which has the activation model SecuROM. Even for that version only the launcher was protected so it was easily "fixed" with a crack and uninstalling SecuROM.
I do have other games with SecuROM just as a disc check like Tomb Raider Anniversary and they did install something in my PC. At least the SecuROM removal tool detected that some components of it were installed and there were several undeletable keys for it in the windows registry.

I keep getting a stack overflow error on D2D's homepage. Anyway, forwards...
Anyone running Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth on Win 7 ? Does it work with some fiddling or not at all ?

All commandos games in a pack for $4.99.
A lot better than $16 on GOG.
