Question #79142 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/79142

    Status: Open => Answered

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
you cand run:

ls -l /usr/local/games

and make a note of the output, you can then change the owner to your
user name (assuming you use only one user)

sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/games

You will now hav ownership rights to the data and therefore write
access.

You could alternatively create a new group, add root and yourself to it,
then give the new group, ownersip to all the folder and grat the group
full access. This will keep the owner as root which is more secure.
