You don't need to do that, and indeed you probably shouldn't as games
aren't really any different than any other application. Some tips on
packaging games are at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Games/Packaging and of course the
regular packaging guidelines are all under
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines

Installing the file is the proper way to go about it. You can use cp or
install; it's up to you. Seems kind of odd installing an svg into a
directory named "pixmaps" but a quick repoquery shows quite a number of
packages which do that so it must be OK.
