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?
Bottles is the way. You can set up bottles (Wine prefixes, or environments) with predefined libraries and Proton for games. You simply run the installer through the GUI or add a shortcut to the executable.
