IGN's downloadable game service Direct2Drive just turned five years old, and has seen exponential growth as full-length game downloads proliferate on PC. The company's sales have doubled over the past few years, and this year's seen a 45 percent unit sales boost over the previous one.
Most importantly, the service's growth doesn't just tell a story about Direct2Drive, but is just one more example of a rapidly-evolving digital space for video games. These days, it's hard to even remember when publishers were wary of digital launches and consumers had few, if any options for current, full-length game launches, but it was not very long ago at all.
