    The infinite refund window offered by piracy also works, mind you

    Also sometimes due to DRM/launcher shit the pirate version actually works much easier on wine/proton. I’ve downloaded cracked versions of games I actually bought in the past due to this

      I’ve fallen so far out of the loop with games piracy.

      I gather that there are repacks now for Linux? Or do you dl the windows version then just run it through proton?

        The latter - downloading the windows cracked version and yeah, wine or proton. It works beautifully.

        That’s when there is no native linux version obviously; these days you can also find pirate versions of those when they exist (most notably on rutracker).

        I think there is one person putting out repacks especially made for Linux mind you (can’t remember their name though found it, it’s johncena141), including specific wine versions and so on in the repack, though I’ve never used them
