There's a high probability that it will work if you simply run the launcher through steam. Honestly it's impressive what you can throw at it and it just works (TM).

Only thing to look out for is the installation path when you run installers that way, with all the virtual filesystems and stuff. Haven't encountered a single game that didn't run since the switch, be it pirated, gog or steam

Good to know, thanks. I'll give it a try as soon as I have some downtime 🙂
