Why would you do that? Don't you want to play these games no more? Then yes.

If you still want to play them: Don't forget: Galaxy is not a Steam or Epic or Origin or Uplay emulator.
It does not emulate their DRM system.
If you add a Steam game to Galaxy, Galaxy will launch Steam in the background to open the game. If Steam is not installed, the game won't run.

Sadly, that's what I thought how Galaxy worked back then. I was really disappointed when I realized that I needed to open Steam to access the game through Galaxy. Initially, I thought by having it synced with Galaxy, I'd be able to access the game directly through Galaxy. But oh well, I rarely use Galaxy nowadays.

That was never a question for me since I know how Steam works. Valve would never allow a competitor to replace their launcher.
Having one software that can emulate all different launchers and that for a company who wants to sell their own game, if possible DRM free ... not gonna happen.

In my case it doesn't matter really. I only play about 3 games actively on Steam, one on Uplay. All the rest is on GOG. Some I play through Galaxy for achievements, but usually I start everything directly.
