I'm thinking about opening an account with Direct2Drive because they seem to be the only existing source of a DRM-free version of Civilization III Complete. However, I remember seeing a number of posts here saying that D2D is terrible and/or that people have had problems using it. I couldn't really tell what it was that was bothering people, though. If you have used Direct2Drive, can you tell me if there is anything I should know about before signing up?

Last week I bought Dragon Age Origin Ultimate from them. Their downloader is as good as GOG. I installed the game and plays great. I'm happy with my D2D purchase. I will buy from them again when they have another good sale.

Okay, thank you for your replies. Generally I don't like to support regional restrictions, but I think in this case I'll make an exception and buy the game from D2D.
