2048.cpp installs its data into /var, perhaps should rather use /share?

It is a game, why does it install anything into ${prefix}/var

2048.cpp stores scores and statistics in ${prefix}/var/2048.cpp/data. According to FHS
var
is for "files whose content is expected to continually change during normal operation of the system"; storing scores and statistics there seems correct to me.share
would not be an appropriate place for that kind of data;share
is for manpages, documentation, and other architecture-independent files installed with the software and not expected to change during the normal operation of the system.
