Linux: incorrect directory for make install

[atsb]

Having IronWail be installed in (by default) /usr/local/games/quake does not make much sense as it cannot be executed via the terminal and does not appear in the start menus of pretty much every distro.

Having a sane default of /usr/local/bin would be much better.

Uh, steam installs to /usr/games /usr/local/games exists as well by default in debian

I don't believe there's a one-size-fits-all solution to this, different distros have different conventions. Personally, I like to install to a location I don't need to use sudo for (~/bin although I'd have used ~/.local/bin if I had been aware of it). Sometimes I'll even create a symlink to the repo so I don't have to worry about the installation step.
