I'm more annoyed by the "three installs" rule. If your hard drive crashes and you put a new drive in your computer, that's two installs. If you get a new computer and install the game, that's three installs. You can never install the game again without buying it again. Uninstalling doesn't credit you with another install.

You're basically renting the game.

I can think of three or four games that I've installed more than 3 times because they were good enough I kept coming back to them. I'd really hate it if I could never play Grim Fandango or Arx Fatalis or Gothic II again.
