This is prove that direct downloads are ancient deprecated methods of delivery. P2P your releases.
Downloading it was actually no problem, paying was.

Publishers would still have to distribute authentication keys directly, no? That would cause the same problem here since the storefront is only dealing with the transaction side of things. Downloading is a separate server (I would assume).
Technically, they only need 177(countries w/internet) 3(triangulation) × (≈531) superseeders to kickstart the main files, and deliver decryption keys between the 3 triangulators.
Wait, which countries don't have Internet?

And this doesn't account for authoritarian internets, like PRC, Russia, Nepal, India, US, Australia, UK, etc..
