Games that use My Games typically have extra data or configs in that area
and make no attempt to hide them. Off the top of my head, I know Age of
Empires 3, Command and Conquer 3, and Dungeon Siege 2 all do this, as I've
done some config mucking for all of them. These are all newer, though Age of
Mythology (2002) is one of the oldest games I have that started using My
Games, if I recall.

I personally like the idea of hopping on the My Games bandwagon, solely
because it will be consistent with what many other games are doing, even if
it isn't written in stone somewhere. I suppose one other thing to consider
is what newer id games do. What do Doom 3 and Quake 4 do?
