DtD Software: Yes, that's a good comparison. Both have client side software that manage downloads, helps users find more games they might be interested in, and makes it easy to keep games up-to-date. The mission behind each is pretty different though - Archive Games is specialized towards indie games, and also distributes free games as well. Psycho: Feel free to download it and let me know what you think. I hope you'll see it's not just marketing speak :) Sargon: Thanks! Indeed, hopefully we can get more people interested in it. We don't want to compete with Steam or D2D or the other AAA distributors, but we hope people will find it useful and that we can provide a service that helps the Indie community.

The concept looks promising. However, it all depends if they will be able to get more people using their service. I wish them luck. I installed their software. The concept looks promising.
