As well know, Steam was the pioneer of digital game sales, but in this day and age there are tonnes of different distributors: gamefly , gamersgate, greenmangaming , desura , good old games and so on and so forth. Whilst I do love steam and it's huge sales I must say that I like some of the others too. GMG has a really good customer service, once I bought a game and only afterwards I realised that I could have used a code to get some discount, so I emailed them and they returned the difference in store credit which was very nice of them. Also they let you to trade in some games to get a part of your money back.
GOG also has a lot of great deals and they have a very customer friendly policy - all of their games are totally DRM free, you can download them and install them on all of your machines which is really great, they sometimes even give games away for free, I managed to get the first Fallout game through this way.
I think gamefly also lets you rent games, I've not personally tried it but I have a friend that likes to rent out a game for a weekend , play it through and save a ton of money on a game that he probably wouldn't want to replay anyway.
So what are opinions on the major digital game distributors and which ones are your favourites?
