Description-en: Installer for drm-free commercial games
The ./play.it tool builds native packages from installers for Windows or
Linux, mainly those sold by stores focusing on DRM-free games distribution.
The goal is that a game installed via ./play.it is indistinguishable from a
game installed via the official repositories of your favourite distribution.
.
The games are installed globally on multi-user systems, avoiding unnecessary
duplication. The locations of save games, settings, mods, temporary files and
backups are standardized with XDG Base Directory support.
.
Packaging the games simplifies future updates, uninstalls and handling of any
necessary dependencies, including integrated obsolete dependencies if specific
versions are needed.
