Doesn’t work with every game, though. Some have DRM that depends on the launcher and/or authentication.

Obviously not every game. Multiplay games won’t work with it. And yes anything that inherently depends on the launcher. The vast majority of games it does work though.

  that’s not actually a guarantee: BG3 has multiplayer and works just fine without the launcher. as do plenty of others.

Also when running and playing games on Linux I find that starting directly from the exe can cause compatability issues.
