And it is empty until you try and play game b. Which might be after purging game a, which removed /var/games. Hilarity ensues. So either game a must not remove /var/games, or game b must ship with /var/games/.b-placeholder to make sure that /var/games isn't empty while b is installed. The former seems saner to me.
