Can you play cracked games using the Steam launcher? (self.linuxcracksupport)

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.

Not only adds it as a shortcut, but also allows you to use steam input to remap controls, very useful on the deck.
