Turmoil tries to save in an inaccessibile directory

If you run the Flatpak version of Heroic, GOG games with a native Linux version which do not support cloud saves might try to write the save-files to inaccessibile directories (like ~/.config). This results in vanishing saves as soon as Heroic is terminated. No warning is provided and the savefiles remain accessible as long as Heroic is running. I have experienced this with Turmoil. The issue is solved by allowing access to ~/.config/TurmoilSteam from Flatpak permissions, but I have already lost my fist two hours of progress.
I suggest to ship with more permissible Flatpak authorizations or to detect and warn about writes to inaccessible folders.
