Can you play cracked games using the Steam launcher? (programming.dev)

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.

What is the most convenient way to add art? Is there a tool, something more automatic than downloading jpgs from some website yourself?

You just right click the game entry in various contexts to add an icon, banner art, etc. There are like 4 different sizes and contexts.
