## Remarks

The gameConfig field allows an app to pass a game config to the runtime. The gameConfig can be specified in different ways, as dictated by the gameConfigSource field. It may be one of:

| Game Config Type | Interpretation                                                                                                                 |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Default          | gameConfig must be null here. The default game config for the process will be used.                                            |
| Inline           | gameConfig is a UTF-8 string containing the entire game config contents.                                                       |
| File             | gameConfig is a path to a game config file. This can be an absolute path or a relative path relative to the current directory. |
