For installing games outside of steam, I highly recommend Heroic Games Launcher. Even for pirated repacks it works great. The GoG/Epic/Amazon store integrations plus automatic updates are just icing on the cake.
How does Heroic relate to pirated game repacks? I thought it was just a tool for running non Steam storefronts.
It lets you install stuff manually too, plus manage the Proton version you use to run it. So for instance if you have an old game on CD, you could install that with Heroic and launch it through there, letting Heroic keep your Proton version up to date. Same thing with pirated games.
