the.kuribo: I've never used Games Republic before, are they generally pretty reputable?
JaqFrost: I want to say that Games Republic is 11 bit studios' own store, so you should be safe purchasing from there.
This War of Mine is great and a right bargain for $6.
LinustheBold: I just signed up yesterday (for their sale) and had a problem with verifying my account and first purchase - they send mail only in HTML format, and my primary email is on a UNIX shell account, so their generated security link wasn't showing. I sent them a support request, and got a manual intervention and a very appropriate response in the course of a few hours, complete with the guy who responded acknowledging that they should really be sending emails like that in text format as well as HTML.
So, that's not a lot to go on, but they've got at least some pieces in place. They strike me as well-meaning, and my games came through without issue.
Thanks for the impressions guys, I received the code that jcosmocohen graciously sent me but unfortunately it looks like the website made a pricing mistake by allowing the code to stack earlier. When I try to apply it now it tells me the coupon code is invalid because the game is on sale. A shame, but probably just as well what with this Star Wars sale going right now and my wallet taking a pounding. :)
