Hey all,
As the title suggests, I am looking for a way to install Linux games in one directory.
My main drive is a SSD, the secondary HDD has a partition named 'Games' that will host the obvious; all my games. For Steam that is simple as it installs game files in one directory. As a recent arrival from Windows I am used to program files to be placed in one folder. On first sight this makes a lot of sense to me as all the files for one application will be found quickly in one place. (I hear you breath ' registry'! Touché). I slowly start to appreciate the way Linux organizes files, almost making me wish there would be a '/locator' directory containing an application file pointing out the whereabouts of its files! (Or am I pushing buttons now?).
I digress! My question: Is there a way to get all the required Linux game files contained in one directory on the HDD?
Example: 'Games' being the mounted HDD partition:
/media/Games/Steam/<Steam game 1>/
/media/Games/Steam/<Steam game 2>/
/media/Games/Linux/<Linux game 1>/<game 1 directories>/ ... (e.g. usr/... (and/or) bin/...
/media/Games/Linux/<Linux game 2>/<game 2 directories>/ ...
Thanks in advance!
