Hi guys,
If you could help, what are all the types of games that exist when it comes to the installation process... What kind is most common these days and is there a way of knowing what type is the game without actually trying it?
Thank you,
Tommy

Hmm...something is fishy.

 

The OP never posted here before, and then comes on and asks a question that's as senseless as it is vague.
