Legacy Games support #3021

Problem description

With Heroic now having Amazon Prime Gaming support, one of the stores that Amazon Prime Gaming gives away free game codes for is Legacy Games. It would be great if Heroic could support Legacy Games, but I suspect it's a tall ask. They have a Windows-only Legacy Games Launcher, but I don't see any mention of an API at all, so short of reverse-engineering the Windows client's network traffic, I'm not sure this is feasible. Still, it can't hurt to ask...

Feature description

Add Legacy Games support in the same manner as the 3 existing game stores. Like the other 3, I'll never buy anything from them, but there are "free" (OK, requires a Prime sub) game codes being given away by Amazon Prime Gaming for Legacy Games titles.

Alternatives

I don't want to mess around installing a Windows-only games launcher on Linux - I want a native Linux launcher and Heroic has the infrastructure to add new game stores.

Additional information

Legacy Games free game codes have to be redeemed by a certain date, so I've probably missed out on dozens of freebies waiting for a native Linux launcher...

I have a simple command line tool that I've written for Legacy Games that might serve as a good base for this task: https://github.com/HeirloomGM/heirloom-gm

It is still VERY MUCH a work in progress!
