replyWhile these digital deals all of the time are great, I don't want to have to download all of the different clients (especially if all I want is one game for that client). Somebody needs to come up with a solution for this.

the "pc gaming" section at my local gamestop consists of WoW and the expansions. there's literally a sign that says "PC GAMING" with 3 boxes under it. might as well be a sign with a middle finger.

You should try flipping it over. The middle finger is probably on the back.

occasionally if the collector's edition is fancy enough. or if there's a good deal.

Your best option is to stick with Steam. It's not 100% coverage, but close enough. Although there are times when that bites you like my beloved pinball game where the publisher, Strategy First, won't pass along the updates to Steam. It's also frustrating when you do go with Steam and publishers like Ubisoft insist on still using their own DRM in addition to Steam's.
-
Sad thing is everybody is going to have diffrent clients because it cuts out the middle man and gives the publishers more $$$. Right now Steam is the main one you have to running when you play anything....well Games for Windows too....but that tends to be more off a like/hate relationship. Impulse just has the game DRM part but won't require the storefront part. D2D and gamersgate don't really have anything just a download manager. EA does the same but that one usually gets stuck in start up. I tend to buy from all of them. Steam is the only thing i have stuck in start up (since i play off of that the most) but i tend to have impulse running to.
I feel your pain but if there is money to be had you will probaly see more coming out, Hell Interplay said they were going to have one. If they are done right and have a very low footprint it's not that much of an issue......
