This way you wouldn't loose your save games and addon stuff if you reinstall the game and the c:\program files\... path gets deleted too.
But in my eyes it shouldn't just use the c:\ (or system harddrive) to scan for the addons but use the real documents path that someone specified in the windows (OS) settings.

It seems like the "Documents" folder should be used for "Documents". Call me crazy, though...
And software developers don't have to keep in-game data in Program files, for the unusual scenario that a user would be removing a game from their computer but wanting to keep the installed add-ons..?
That's what the AppData folder is for.
