Description
I want to use multiple steam account at the same time, I ran steam with the following command
`env HOME=/mydir flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam`
but strangely, steam still installed inside /home/me/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/ instead of /mydir/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with `env HOME=/mydir flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam` and compare the resulting paths with `/home/me/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/`. Trace how the application resolves its Flatpak data directory; done means a custom HOME causes the Steam data to be created under `/mydir/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/` without breaking the default behavior.
