The issue isn't where games install, but rather where those games create their savegame and/or configuration files and/or folders. I've seen some that create "dotfiles" and "dotfolders" in the user's home, which is also rude, but I think the ones that bother people are when they create unhidden folders/files either directly in the user's home folder or Documents folder. A few games I have do that, and it annoys me every single time I see it. It just reeks of "clueless rude lazy programmer".
The old loki games did this and a good few other older titles, Trouble is now they clutter up .config instead
