I should have mentioned a point or two.

The launchers operate on a single central installation directory only
but this does not mean games are necessarily installed there. Delga
files do not need to be physically there. They can be also just
sym-links. The launchers use the content of this directory to populate
the list of installed games.

That said launchers can run delgas without being installed at all. You
can download a delga and just open it and it launches without the need
to be installed at all. Installing though is more convenient but not
required. This requires only the "mime-types" included in the package to
be properly registered.

I'm a bit cautious to allow installing games into the user home
directory. Game files can quickly grow large (up to GB of data). One
reason why I opted for /opt in the first place.

That said the directory used by the launchers can be altered by
env-param DELAUNCHER_GAMES . So for multi-user this can be shifted to
the home-directory with all the potentially size caveats if required.

I think for this package I would prefer /usr/share/delauncher/games with
the option of using env-param or maybe global/local directories in the
future (needs further discussion because this has its own set of problems).
