So how do I install/play cracked games? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I don't even know if this is allowed here but frankly, I don't care. I have seen conflicting guides on how to play cracked games. Some say to use lutris/wine, some say to use proton with steam and add the cracked games to steam though that carries a significant risk of a ban. So to all Linux pirates, how do you do this?

Install in a Windows VM then move the files over to your Linux side.

It's a real PITA and you can expect to require at least 3x the storage during the process.
