   So what happens when developers are bled dry by these installation fees?
   
   Then again, given what I hear about the current state of AAA games, maybe some of them deserve it.

     If you have to pay that 20 cent fee a million times over, yes

     @DW2 @DrRyanSkelton @Remi do you actually believe 20 cents is a significant amount of money?

     The problem is that the fee is applied to reinstalls and piracy, so someone could theoretically write a script to exploit this policy over and over again.
     
     Developers don't seem to be happy about it

     @DW2 @DrRyanSkelton @Remi if you're selling millions of copies, I don't think you'll be that concerned over a small fee. Your concern doesn't even make sense.
