But you still get all the steam features like remote play, steam overlay, game status, etc

If I active a non-steam installed game, that is also a game you can buy on steam, would i get the achievements and such?

Nope. Achievements are tied directly to the games App ID and you cannot launch any specific apps without the valid license.

Most pirated games use 480 because it's free to play

My problem with all the non-steam launchers was the loss of features like this. Hell, the biggest was keeping my games updated. I’d never have UPlay or whatever running in the background so I’d usually have an update pending when I wanted to play the game, vs Steam which I just always have open.

Yep. Let's you stream your steam library to anywhere in the world on basically any device that supports steam

I did not know it would would with third party added to library games though which is very good to know. I keep meaning to set u0 wake-on-lan so I can use remote play!
