Definitely not, but the model isn't a bad idea.
I think it'd get even messier though if there is competition with this distribution model because then you have a ton of distribution clients to fool around with, and maybe at one point companies like Valve with charge a fee or monthly subscription to even be able to download or play your games.
I think the obvious answer to this problem is to distribute all games from here on out through Steam.

But honestly, Steam's a great platform for game distribution. You have your own account and once your purchased game is installed you can re-install it as you like through said account.
