These days most games don't even bother trying to respect FHS at all. |

Those that aren't only available through Steam are often designed to be |
| 9 |
just unpacked and run in place. Most games comprise of a binary, some |
| 10 |
bundled libraries, and some assets. Assuming you can unbundle all the |
| 11 |
libraries, it's sometimes sufficient to put the assets somewhere |
| 12 |
under /usr/share and then change to that directory in a wrapper before |
| 13 |
executing the binary. The only question is where to put that |
| 14 |
binary. /usr/share would be bad. |
