They also say that new users need to download things from S3, this could mean two things:

The game checks whether you're a new user and if so downloads something from S3.
The game downloads something from S3 on the first run.

If 1, then they have a server to list known users, how long until that server gets dropped? If 2 users who uninstall the game and reinstall it again will not be able to play. And all to download some data that could be embedded with the game to begin with.
