I'm not really super sure what the point of this is either... but I don't think MS intended game makers like EA to store 5gb of files in your Documents folder, even when they are installed to a different disk volume. I blame EA... bunch of assholes who do whatever they want, despite it's effect on their end users.

It thought it was a great idea to store its "flashback" feature on my C drive. This file was at minimum 1Gigglebit. Blame microsoft however.. they are the ones who are initiating where the savegames are supposed to go with the new works with windows crap. They still shouldnt have migrated content like they did. I hate having save games in my documents personally. Most of the time for older games I just modify the registry. I had the same problem with Grid.
