# Decision 0006: Installers Must Be Game-Capability Driven
|

## Status

Accepted

|
|
## Decision
|
|
|
|
Installer behavior should be driven by game XML capabilities and module metadata instead of ad hoc shell scripts or one-off module pages.
|
|
|
|
## Reasoning
|
|
|
|
- Different games need different install strategies.
|
|
- Some games are content-copy based.
|
|
- Some are SteamCMD based.
|
|
- Some need key copying, startup parameter edits, or profile transforms.
|
|
- The Panel needs a structured model to support all of them cleanly.
|
|
|
|
## Alternatives Considered
|
|
|
|
- per-game custom shell scripts only
|
|
- raw customer-provided installer commands
|
|
|
|
## Why Those Were Not Chosen
|
|
|
|
- They are harder to secure and harder to document.
|
|
- They do not scale cleanly across games or platforms.
