Man I bought Bioshock off of Direct2Drive then when Gamefly bought them out I haven't figured out how I can redownload the game I bought. I've contacted gamefly and they won't respond. I have no idea what to do.

Seems like you can't. It annoys me too but I will probably get it anyway. Only played the demo and while I hated the reavers (or whatever they're called) it seems nice.

I recently had the same issue. The lame thing is that I had to install Gamefly's client and reclaim my account that way. You'll be able to download every game you bought through D2D though, so not to worry.
