+ // FIXME: at this moment, game path handling is being discussed in the mailing list,
+ // while Common::File is being reworked under the hood. After commit 34444, which
+ // changed the implementation of Common::File (specifically removing usage of fopen
+ // and fOpenNoCase, which implicitly supported backslashes in file names), some games
+ // stopped working. Example of this are the HE games which use subdirectories: Kirben
+ // found this issue on lost-win-demo at first. Thus, in commit 34450, searching the
+ // game path was made recursive as a temporary fix/workaround.
