I don't see this happening yet.

If we're seeing internet service providers with caps and such, what happens when I have to redownload my Steam library for example and I don't have any backup disks? The big PC releases can be well over a 10gb download.

Not only that, if they have such an issue with Gamestop, why don't they incentivise customers too? I'm becoming less and less interested in buying new games when there's more and more charged downloadable content, annoying DRM, and increasing prices even on PC. Heck, isn't digital distribution supposed to be cheaper than retail? So why not have frequent sales and drop the prices of games sooner rather than later as well as release the games for less?

How can I justifiy $60 on a game purchased through digital distribution when I'm seeing more charging for extra content especially things like map packs, costumes, weapons, power-up's, ect? Then, I have to log into an account to play it either via the service (ie - Steam) and/or be logged in through the publisher's own DRM and make accounts for the games I play (ex - logging into EA's servers to play Dragon Age) in either case servers could go offline and now I'm screwed.
