The game needs to live inside the steamapps folder like a normal Steam game despite being pirated, and then Steam’s input stuff will work fine when you add it as a non-Steam game.
Took me a couple of hours wrestling with fitgirl’s RDR2 to figure that out.
oh shit!!! I never would have thought of that in a million years! Gonna try that after work.
EDIT: Serious question...is there any risk of adding a pirated game to steam? I blocked the game in my firewall to be safe but I'm worried i'll lose access to my library or something.
EDIT EDIT: IT WORKS!!! Bless you Comrade git!!!!! God why could nobody else say this!??!!?

There's 0 risk. I've had pirated games in my library for at least a decade.
