Maighstir: "They" is, in fact, the correct English way to refer to any arbitrary person without specifying gender. "It" implies that they're not a person at all.
Which is fine until you start getting into reflexive forms in English. Then it becomes tricky.

It's a shame that the English language doesn't have a neutral form like the German "man" or the French "on" the Finnish "hän". English does have the form "one", but you're likely to have the piss taken out of you in the UK if you use it in any way other than sarcasm. One is not amused.

Now I won't claim that Wikipedia is an authoritative source, but it's usually pretty good, and the page for singluar they claims that both "themself" and "themselves" work, the latter is more common but use of the former is increasing.

Actually as someone who works for a company of 7,200 clients that are 95%-ish female and the other three employees i work with are female, gender is something I think about.

Which is why you see me write "he or she" quite often.

As to the question raised, I just save everything that I download to an external hard drive and would just install it off of that to any new computer.

Dr_Worm: Having a home file server is nice, I have all of my GOG games downloaded to it so I just have to run the installers from my network. (My GOG folder is about 1.33 TB in case you're wondering)
I've thought about doing that at the office but discovered that most of my external hard drives are hardware protected in some manner and I can't just pop the plastic covers and stick them into a server case. I'd have to start over again with new hardware.

InfidelProductionz: I am getting a new gaming pc soon and was wondering that if it was downloaded on this pc, would i have to buy it again to download on my next pc?
As many b4 hv already said, u can simply copy the installer fr the old pc 2 the new 1 w/o hving 2 buy another copy. However, do note that while u r free 2 install on so many pcs as u hv (in ur household), the game is only meant 4 u 2 play alone. Hope this helps. :)
