Could you build this?

Partial A Linux launcher wrapper for a proprietary Windows gaming platform requires deep understanding of Wine, Proton, sandbox prefixes, and Windows IPC compatibility layers.

What it would actually take: The launcher requires Python, Bash, or Rust wrapping Wine/Proton environments, managing DXVK/VKD3D setups, and handling proprietary anti-cheat and authentication protocols. The hardest part is reverse-engineering or reliably emulating the WeGame client's proprietary dependencies and Tencent anti-cheat components under Linux Wine environments. This requires specialized Linux gaming and reverse-engineering skills.
