So, I've noticed this more as I've gotten deeper into piracy, but why do all the various programs installed through a fitgirl repack require administrator, even if they're installed for the user?
I may be dumb but it just always makes me a bit worried.

Edit: I do not mean the installation process, I'm talking about running the process once installed.

Some cracks do require it and some games by default require admin rights. But most games work fine without admin. Fitgirl probably just wanna make sure that you won't run into any issues running without admin elevation.
