What's the best way to play pirated windows games on Linux?
Ever since I've migrated I stuck to emulation for game piracy cause it was pretty simple. Ive been trying to run some repacked games but I can't get them to install properly.
I don't see many people talk about this probably because most game pirates use windows if I had to guess.
Edit: i fixed my problem, yesterday When running the fitgirl installer it would only show me two drives ,c and z, which were my home and root folder respectively. I wanted to install my game to a bigger drive, but couldn't find the option to and assumed it was a problem with wine or the installer. A few hours ago I searched for a bit and found out I can add a drive to wine via winecfg -> Drives -> add drives. I ran the Installer again and this time it saw my bigger 1tb drive and everything went smoothly from there, ran The installer, added the game on steam, ran the game, all good.
Not related to the post, just a horror story that happened to me recently.
My friend forced me to download Lethal Company repack from a very very shady looking website. Not even a tracker, some random hole. So I put the file into my torrent software, downloaded, fired up wine to install it, all's good. Game installed properly. Turn it on, it works just fine... Close the game for a sec to get obs up and running, turn the game back up. It errors out. Huh? Try to check out game files.. the entire fucking wine prefix directory was nuked. Like.. it just wasn't fucking there 💀💀
Be careful pirating shit even on linux and don't give in to your normie friends whims, instead help them to get stuff from a respectable tracker.
