echo $PATH provides: 

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

while /etc/environment states 

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games"

I though the environment file is responsible for setting the PATH environment. I mean the file is called environment, and the only commend therein is path. What am I missing?

This is Ubuntu 18.04.1 and when I try to run pcsxr, it tells me /usr/games is not added to environment variable. This seems true from one point of view and false from another point of view. There is no problem with the desktop file, it has been validated. Also that game in question has been validated to be at /usr/games

Running this command:

$ grep --color -H 'PATH=' ~/.bashrc ~/.profile ~/.bash_profile ~/bash.login \
                    ~/.bash_aliases /etc/bash.bashrc /etc/profile \
                     /etc/profile.d/* /etc/environment 2> /dev/null

/home/neonred811/.profile:    PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
/home/neonred811/.profile:    PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
/etc/environment:PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games"
environment
