doesn't appstream require that the app is appstream-aware? my understanding is that you can't just take an arbitrary windows binary an appstream-ify it.

The VPN solution might have worse performance than an appstream app, but it works with the existing catalog of steam games.

The app is NOT required to be AppStream-aware, no. (Not since we created "Zero Touch" mode, anyway!)

We periodically install random Windows apps (including games) to test the stack. Games work well. Too well, you might say. ;)
