So... As GNU/Linux gains more popularity in the gaming industry, we are facing a new problem - lack of organization in game saves.
To fix that problem, I initially started the LGSO mini-project; it's a simple script that tries to enforce a unified save place for all the game saves.
Now, I wish to make my proposal, (as it's the only sane one I've seen) into a standard, a standard that companies and indie devs will hopefully embrace, and make GNU/Linux a happier place.
I propose to use ~/.local/share/games/game as a sane save location. Those who had set an XDG_DATA_HOME location, will obviously gain their respect and the location shall be XDG_DATA_HOME/game.
I also propose to use ~/.config/game as a location for game configs.
I chose those locations simply because ~/.local/share is a system-wide and widely-used location for storing stuff, and ~/.config is, likewise, a widely-used location to store configs.
In my opinion, that's a great solution for the upgrowing issue with game saves. As nobody really had done anything against it, I propose my solution to that, as I am sick of having game save scattered on my home dir without any organization.
You are, obviously, free to propose your fixes and views on my site's github project, and I promise I will account them :).
