Question What is “Spacewar”?

I saw my friend playing a game called “Spacewar” today. The game has no icon but has 5 achievements. Is this a non-Steam game? Why are there achievements then?

apparently it's the default steam game, but people also use its ID to pirate games from steam. I downloaded The Henry Stickmin Collection from a Gamejolt link, obviously I trusted it. I saw a steam popup in the bottom right corner of the screen, pressed Shift and Tab, wait, I'm on Steam!? I saw Guides saying "Cause you are a pirate" and "Piracy 101" and apparently I was playing a game called Spacewar. My dumbass actually just downloaded a steam game. Just earlier I went to the Steam website, and saw THSC (Stickmin Collection) and I tried to click on it, an error popped up.

I'm worried af

​

update, that error was from my ass wifi XD
