VIPER: do you notice how ... won't finish that ... this will not help tmyapp from having to spend money nor will it reduce it !

why ?
because even if you got the game on your end, you still CONNECT TO THE SERVERS to be able to play against the whole community, which means he will have the same amount of money to spend even if people use the DL version !

also, the people that are downloading ARE DOWNLOADING FROM THE SERVERS ! which means he'll have to spend money to keep that server up too !

so...
conclusion...
your idea doesn't help him save cash, it doesn't help him, but it sure is better for the player as the FPS problems are solved !
