> /opt is generally for software distros for which you don't have source; only binaries. Like commercial software packages. More common on Real UNIX(R) because most Linux users outside enterprise aren't running commercial software

Steam says hi.

On Windows, a common Steam library exists in Program Files directory, therefore not user specific. On Linux, each user has a separate Steam installation and library. I'm not sure why there isn't a common Steam library on Linux, but /opt would be a good place for it.
