As the title says, if someone theoretically wanted to play a cracked game on Linux (not me), could they use the official Steam launcher, or would they have to use Lutris?

    You can add any program as a non-steam game to Steam. It simply adds it as a shortcut, but you can add art and icons.

    It was a joke a long time ago to rename a random exe like Notepad as “Half Life 3 Beta”, add it to Steam, and troll your friends by leaving it running all day.

    Like another comment already said, yes you can. Why would you do that though? Steam sucks so much and running games with lutris works about 5 times better
