(From https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/kqw0si/guide_on_how_to_easly_run_pirated_games_on_linux/?rdt=44586)

  • Download pirated game
  • Install Lutris and find your game in it
  • Install original game through Lutris
  • Using WINEPREFIX="/Lutris/game/prefix (eg. /home/USER/Games/originalgame)" wine piratedgame.exe install pirated game into this Lutris prefix
  • Apply crack
  • (optional) Copy your saves into this prefix' c:\Users\Documents folder
  • Change game executable in lutris from platform exe (like EGS or Steam) to your pirated game's .exe
  • Run game using Lutris.

If Lutris is having issues, you may have better luck using Bottles, also trying the non flatpak version if you are currently using flatpak.

If you are dual booting it's better to just reinstall on linux, I spent way too long trying to get preinstalled windows games to run.

so you're saying install them on windows and then move them back to linux fully installed? that's really smart, actually. thank you!

Off topic: Didn't they use to have adult games section as well?

I just didn't feel like starting a new thread to ask some stupid question
