That is EVIL! What is wrong with some people?! That reminds me of a couple of geeks at school bragging about the viruses they'd created and sent to people in disguise. I wanted to cut open their scrotums just for saying that!

I don't mind the new installers, but I keep running into the old ones that make folders in the C:\windows\ directory. I mean, WHATTHEPOO? Installers that don't leave folders all willy-nilly are fine, especially if the game is professional looking and especially if the user doesn't know it's a click game.

It's an extra step to be taken before being able to play a game that's probably small anyway. Besides, Click games don't usually leave files on several places on your computer and can usually be run from anywhere, so why even bother having an installer if you just want to run it on the spot you downloaded it from?
