Is there anyway to get pirated games to run on their native page on steam? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Acheivements are a big part of the experience for me, and just running them as an external program doesn't give that option. Is there any chance of doing so? I'm sure I managed to get some pirated dlc to work like that once.

That's a very common question, especially when achievements are a big part of the experience! Unfortunately, getting Steam to validate a non-purchased executable for native features is tough. You're on a real digital cowboy safari trying to bypass their integrity checks. While some older DLC hacks worked, the main game registration is usually too deep.
