Why is there a .steampath in my home directory?

In the terminal, I see a broken link which is named .steampath, I didn't remove /home/user/.steam/sdk32/steam, but it is gone. enter image description here

Why is the .steampath there?

Should I remove it?


Solution 1:

This is a known Steam issue: the symlink is created and is intentionally broken for compatibility with older Steamworks SDK that some games are still built with.

There is a bug report on this issue, and also a tracking list of games that need to be updated.
