Mutagen has code to look at the registry for SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Bethesda Softworks\Skyrim Special Edition, as a lot of people complained their games weren't being located when just GameFinder was being used by itself. I was under the impression that GameFinder only returns results from the steam library files, and doesn't look for that registry key ^
Currently my logic is that I look in that registry first, and if it's not found, then I use GameFinder to search the steam installations
Just pitching the idea of adding registry support. Currently mutagen uses GameFinder, but only if it cannot locate an installation in the registry:

Might be nice to just bubble that up to this lib? Is there a specific reason registries are not considered?
This would also help with WJ "stock game" installs, which you can see some discussions here:
