Hey! Just wanted to note, that game data is meant for save files/configs. The install directory is of little relevance, even the steam one, since you can move that or install to a different partition, instead the actual place the save games and config files are stored is of some interest. If that happens to be in the installation directory, replace it with <path-to-game> or something similar, as you can choose the install directory in many cases. Thanks!
That would be me (I'm guessing Torchlight). Technically, a game can be installed anywhere, but my intention was to put the location set by default for those who don't really care. And if the saves files are in the installation directory, my opinion is that the full default location should be put because it would be more useful than shortcuts.
Well, it seems to be a bit of both of you. ;)
However, what you did was make a separate table for the installation directory (and another important thing to remember is that Steam by no means is the only way to install it), which is largely irrelevant in general, but still fine as it doesn't make it seem like the save games are stored there. If there's only one table, it should be assumed that it is also for save game data/config files. I corrected a few of those today (mostly using random references found online), but it'd be generally best to leave it empty unless that's where it actually is stored.
Alternatively, if it is under the game installation directory, just put {{ii}} underneath it noting what the default is - seems like the best of both worlds.
