I just want to say that I feel you! I thought the same.
I also had this thought like “even if you install the games on SD card, thete should be at least some base files and folders that are still bound to the internal storage”.
This is probably because I’ve seen so many games I installed on Windows on the past had their files scattered around the drives. Installed on D:, but some files are still placed on C:, such as configs .dll’s or mods.
You may had the same thought on the back of your brain.
I bet the SteamOS/Steam client devs stumbled upon this issue too in the past and trying to localize the installation folders as monolithic/one folder as possible. Or maybe I’m just overthinking it.
Good to hear. Thanks OP!
