Yes, we still install all binaries for games to /usr/games and static
content to /usr/share/games. The use is optional according to the FHS
but the Policy recommends the use of /usr/games and really questioned or
changed that in the past years.

AFAIK, the next revision of the FHS will deprecate game specific paths
but no idea how much progress has been done on this front.

Regards,

Markus
