Ok, I thought it was clanbomber I was looking at at thw time. Whatever
game it was, as I now see that it should be in /usr/games, I'll be sure
to report it so that the location may be fixed.
I think there was a misunderstanding of what I had read:
"while games get their *own directory* under /usr/games. So all user
visible binaries should go directly into *that* directory, this will be
mostly just a single executable binary."
(Emphasis mine.)
So when he says "that", it is unclear whether he means
/usr/games/foogame-bin or /usr/games/foogame/foogame-bin. My guess is
that it would be the first one because later on he refers to there being
only static data files in /usr/share/games/foogame, which would mean
that only the binaries are left to go into /usr/games. Even the FHS spec
itself does not seem clear to me on this.
