I wanted to start the game Screeps:World which has a native Linux version but everytime I start it it keeps using steam play to start it, which prevents me from accessing the files which the game needs (In the game you can change the scripts using your own ide instead of the in game one)

Steps for reproducing this issue:
  1. Start screeps: world on a Debian os
  2. That's it

Research direction

No project file or test is identified. Start by reproducing the Screeps: World launch on Debian and determine why Steam Play is selected instead of the native Linux version; done means the native version launches and its script files are accessible to the user's IDE.
