Has anyone bought Drakensang from Direct2Drive? What sort of DRM/activation limits are there?
Can you backup your games?
Thanks in advance.

Your best bet is to probably contact their support dept.
They're getting better at posting what DRM they use, but I've yet to see them advertise DRM free titles like Direct2Drive does.
Personally I'd just assume that all of their games have at least Impulse GOO unless you can find it stated otherwise.

Actually, they also mention the games that use Goo.
Out of the sale items this week on Impulse, CoH Gold will at least require the creation of a Relic Online account. Everything else should be DRM free, though.

I actually find them better than D2D. If a game on Impulse has third party DRM - be it Tages, SecuROM, GOO, or something else, it's listed on the game description page. If there's nothing listed, then there's no DRM (other than Impulse itself).
I don't find D2D is as good at indicating what is or is not used.

Sins of a Solar Empire uses GOO and it's not listed as having such.
Test: Install on one box and transfer the files to another box. It will ask to authenticate.
It's also one of the games you can download via Impulse Anywhere.

I agree on the D2D comment. They could do a lot better job indicating what is used. What I like about them is that when they do have DRM free labeling. I do hope it improves ...
