Description
Currently the launcher has two seperate locations for OpenRCT and OpenLoco projects, as dictated by the GetLocation function and lines 9 & 10 in \IntelOrca.OpenLauncher.Core\Game.cs.
Seperation between my documents and application data seems arbitrary as a test build had success when modifing the constructor for OpenLoco object.
Recommend allowing user selectable download location using '\documents\OpenLauncher<game>" as the default entry as opposed to hard-coded locations.
I will attempt a fix but am unfamilier with avaloniaUI and the way text is being handled.

Research direction
Start by reading GetLocation and lines 9–10 of IntelOrca.OpenLauncher.Core\Game.cs, then inspect how the OpenLoco constructor receives its location and how AvaloniaUI handles text input. Done means users can select a download location, with \documents\OpenLauncher<game> used by default for each game.
