Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
running find ~/.local/share/Steam -type f -name "*.vdf" -exec file {} + returns the filetype and encoding of all the vdf files in Steam's directory. For some reason they are not standardized and are instead a mix of ASCII, UTF-8 and unencoded data. Why is this the case? They should all have the same encoding, probably UTF-8.
Steps for reproducing this issue:
run find ~/.local/share/Steam -type f -name "*.vdf" -exec file {} +
