Design choice of the parent / child process relationship

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Hello,

I was curious about the reason why you designed this so that the parent process is the one talking to steam,
and the child process is the actual game.

It seemed safer to have the process that Steam is tracking to know if the game is still running be the one that talks to Steamworks...but it likely could have worked either way.
