Personally, I think the movie deal makes more sense than getting a game you might not be able to play if a service goes down in the future (although the shutdown and seamless recovery of Prey, which people were downloading through a now-defunct service called Triton, seems to indicate that even if a major service like Steam went down that consumers would still be served correctly).
