(Specifically Diagnostics, I haven't identified all parts which use the incorrect path; could even be loadout creation itself)
The path for GOG was used, when HeroicGOG game was managed.
Steps to reproduce
Install game in Wine
Install game via Heroic
Manage game
Pray you reproduce it.
What is the expected behaviour?
Normally we assume that you can't have multiple installs of a game from a single store.
This is one of those cases where you can actually have that; and it seems this gets the App mixed up.
Probably because somewhere along the line we treat both as 'GOG'.
Other information
I would assume this happens with 2 proper installs.
In my case, I removed the Wine version by manually deleting the folder.
Which in turn, left registry entries behind that GameFinder is presumably picking up.
I've only learned about wine uninstaller very recently, so never uninstalled properly, I've not know about it for over a decade.
So I've had this weird case where App shows a GOG Stardew despite me not thinking I had it installed.
Maybe we could add a check to GameFinder to see if game folder exists for found games, or one in the App, will see what @erri120 thinks. (e.g. do we need issue in GameFinder repo?)

(This is very low priority, likelihood of a user encountering this is low; and not for initial Beta release. But the 'ghost install' part that caused this in my case may be a bit higher, as that presumably also works on Windows by deleting game folder, leaving registry entry behind.)
