Desura is an alternative video game distribution platform, similar to the likes of Steam but some games on the site are DRM-free.

Vital signs

Reportedly, Desura's parent company, Bad Juju Games, filed for bankruptcy, as a result also putting Desura in danger.

EDT/UPDATE 12/2/16: Desura has been purchased by OnePlay, although things can still fall through so the site is still in danger of being lost.

The website is offline since October/November 2016 (according to Wayback Machine) and a new game distribution platform is to be put up in place by OnePlay in "first quarter of 2017"[1]
