Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Whenever a new version of a game releases in GameVault, you'd have to download, extract, and replace the existing installation. If a user has already played that game, and the game's formatting has their player data stored in the game folder. This will lead to data completely being wiped.

Describe the solution you'd like
Create a new argument in meta data options for admins to manually input on which directories to not delete when overwriting.
Although the input field can only allow strings, so they'd have to comma separate paths or a different separator, indicated in placeholder of field or other method.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Either have an option to merge existing installation or per-game basis.
Although this would lead to potential game corruption or bloating with updated game potentially deprecating certain files.
