    Why was the path to my save games hidden in a dotfile-folder?

    It isn’t any better on Windows, but oh boy does this one piss me off.

    ~/.config/mygame — wtf, no it's not config
    ~/mygame — fuck off, the home folder is mine
    ~/.local/share/mygame — better, I guess?
    ~/.cache/mygame — absolutely not here
    ~/.steam/.../MyGame — still not great, but at least it's self contained

      Yeah, that one really isn’t Linux’s fault either, and both on Linux and Windows, it’s always “exciting” to see which dev used which wild, new scheme for their config/save files.
