[SOLVED] How to play games from Desktop? No authorization through Applications folder ?

[aronbchek]

Is there any way to play games from the desktop, or from an external drive without the necessity for Steam or other Apps? Because Steam or other game libraries still need to be installed into the applications folder and need authorization. Minecraft education edition is functional and playable through the installation process, I can just click to open the icon and it will launch without the need to install the applications folder. I tried the same with Minecraft Java, but I understand through google that Mac requires certain files and folders to be shared, thus installing to the Applications folder allows those folders to be use or read.

That's my understanding of course. Is there a way to bypass that process or any games that work similarly to how Minecraft Education edition did?

If a game requires Steam or some other store front to run, you are not going to run them unless said store front is installed. Though the only exception to this is old DOS games you can buy from them.

Figure out why you can't install the application necessary to run those games. Because if this is your own computer, something isn't right.
