Please update Path template to reflect this.

I also suggest to avoid just "Steam" as problematic and confusing.

<Steam-folder> always refers to the base Steam client folder. It is most often used for games that save data inside the Steam userdata folder, e.g. <Steam-folder>\userdata\<user-id>\35140\remote\.

<path-to-game> is used to refer to the actual install folder of the game -- regardless of where it might reside.

The only time <Steam-folder> and <path-to-game> isn't either of the appropriate paths to use is when you're trying to point readers to a specific workshop mod or folder, which resides below e.g. \SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\<steam-appid>\<workshop-id>\

But those occasions are really rare on PCGW.
