Hello @Frambooisier, several goldsrc games share game content and need to be installed in the same Steam Library to work properly. Steam is forcing those specific games to use the same library so that you're not left with a broken game install.

If you want to change which library they're installed in, then uninstall the other goldsrc era games and Steam will let you select a different Steam library folder.
