I run all my games in Linux and everything but Steam goes via Lutris which I configured to, by default, launch them inside a Firejail sandbox with no network access (plus a bunch of other security related limitations) something which I can override for specific games if needed.

It's interesting that Steam games are actually the least secure to run in Linux and with a configuration as I have it's literally safer to run pirated shit downloaded from the Internet than Steam games.
