Tools may also:
* Use store-specific logic to narrow down the `**` in `<base>`. For example,
with Steam, it would be `<root>/steamapps/common/<game>`.
* Use store-specific logic to determine the `<base>`. For example,
with Steam, if the root is `~/.steam/steam`, then `<base>` would be
`<root>/steamapps/common/<game>`. Or a tool could use `<root>/**/<game>`
as a generic option, although it could lead to wasted search time.
