I'm not particularly sure if I agree with "You don't want to use more distributing channels than you need", personally. For instance, if you only buy your games from one source, and that source DOES fail in the future...that's all of your games.
However, if you are buying your games from multiple sources, then you don't lose all of your games when the service tanks.
Nothing is futureproof in terms of downloaded software purchases. Except for the fact that Telltale always offers a disc, and this is my futureproof. Even if the servers go down and I want to re-play this ADVENTURE GAME(they don't really have all THAT much replay value, guys...), I can use a disc.
