This site looks kinda weird. For one, it looks much more polished than any similar site I've seen so far. They have really good SEO as well, always popping up pretty high on Google. They have a massive selection of content.

How can they still be up?

What's the catch/what's wrong with them?

Also, what do they mean by "preinstalled"? The game isn't preinstalled if I have to install it from them, is it?

Nah they call it pre-installed because you don't have to run an installation wizard yourself, which requires administrator permissions. So you could play those games on computers where you don't have admin access, like a school or work laptop

It's similar to "portable" versions of software. You just run the .exe and of you go.
