I, like many other people, have got many many games installed on my hard drives. As said above it's a pain to dig out the cds for each play.

In addition, constantly checking the cds slows the game down due to the access speeds much slower than your hard drive. This can cause the game to stop while the cd is spun up ---> not good.

Some copy protections will not work on some systems due to glitches. Some copy protections will not run because of finding certain software installed on the system. This is very unfair to the end user - in some cases, which I have experienced, you are unable to play your original game without a crack because of this.
