One of the biggest both retail and digital sellers out there. It is regionally restricted sometimes but you just need to enter any USA address to buy US-specific products. | |
 |
| Origin
|
EA’s distribution system, DRM and regional locked games, regional shops that differ greatly from each other in many cases, poor Live Chat support. | |
 |
| Battle.net
|
This is basically a Blizzard store (featuring Diablo, StarCraft and Warcraft series). | |
 |
| Good Old Games
|
This Polish store is pretty popular as it has no DRM at all = you can install everything you buy there no matter how many times and no matter where. You need to setup an account and all of your purchases are displayed on a cool looking shelf with covers and setup files. Very nice alternative to Steam especially that it has older games mostly that wouldn’t run on modern hardware/OS without GOG’s help. | |

| Nuuvem
|
Brazillian store with games, it is not in English but you can buy just fine from any place on planet. | |
 |
| GMG
|
The store allows to trade in owned games, great voucher codes that stack with owned games, currency depends on your choice. Probably the best alternative to Steam. | |
 |
| GamersGate
|
American store with regionally restricted stores (for US, UK and EU). No SSL and regional locked games sometimes. Good prices and lots of offers every week. | |
 |
| G2Play
|
One of the first alternatives to anything, it started out with very low prices, pretty good website and not bad customer support. Then they started asking for IDs (because of scams) and even sold some stolen games… Anyway pretty much everyone knows G2Play now – buy at your own risk but it seems to be ok for few years now.

My proposal is to add http://www.cjs-cdkeys.com/ into Verified and 100% Guaranteed stores, why ? Before minutes ago I’ve posted here: http://bit.ly/dg7L2b . You can read there.
So far no problems, no revokes, no complaints. You can see also their http://bit.ly/CJS_Sales_Reviews Google Checkout Reviews ~500 satisfied customers so far from all countries around the world, huh !
Yeah, no store can’t have any problems with some orders, but in the background of so many satisfied customers, that’s nuthin’. And yeah, I’m also from the customers, who’re buyin’ from it from Nov 2010 till now.
Conclusion:
Excellent support, fast delivery, great prices, 100% satisfied customer !
That’s all folks from me.
i tried cjs cdkeys… MW2, it took a while to deliver (like a month x_x) because they had issues or something. But then I got working key which is still working now (after 5 months or something). Didn’t bought there a second time, because of the long deliver time, but since they’ve got auto collection system now, they might be a considerable alternative.
anyone tried http://www.cjs-cdkeys.com/ ??
has someone tried http://ecdkey.com/ ?
Just bought a Settlers 7 key from directgamekeys.com for 20 USD, while I did not get a picture of the key the key itself works perfectly with Ubisoft (it does NOT work with Steam, but that was correctly mentioned in the shop). Took 2 hours for delivery, no problems, friendly support. Used paypal to pay (moneybookers is an alternative way of payment they accept).
I don’t know about the game key pages. Isn’t that sort of illegal or at least very grey? Also, I found another list here that has some additional shops listed: http://blog.deals4downloads.com/2010/05/04/steam-competition-a-list-of-steam_alternatives/
I am still wondering if anyone has tried http://www.gamesload.de or not.
I just don’t want to be the first to do that.
I’ve also bought two games from directgamekeys.com
DoW2 Steam Key several months ago and ME2 EADM key a few days ago. Both worked great, without any problems.. Delivery took some hours but still acceptable speed.
I’d buy again everytime, full recommendation
just bought a steam game at directgamekeys.com
the shop had the lowest price on net i could find and with the coupon “TLOW” i even got additional 10% off.
about half an hour later i recieved a mail with a photo of the games cdcase, the cd itself and its (or should i rather say “some”) keys. though the originally game (shown me at the photo) came from russia it does work fine and i had no problems activating it in steam.
@joeangry
Thanks, fixed the Impulse link
@Rad86N
Added DirectGameKey.com to “Buy at your own risk”, thanks for the info.
Bought Bad Company 2(EADM Download) at http://www.gamekeydistrict.com, got the key the same day.
A week later I lost the game on EADM.
directgamekeys.com

Hi! Why do impulse link is secured http? (https)
Add http://bit.ly/Direct2Drive_eu .
Hi again,
Although I don’t have any experience with this site, and their games seem to be mostly German, but they have a huge catalogue with fair prices, so it’s worth a look:
