      Imagine having rootkits and APTs on your system, just to play some overpriced games, which you are later, remotely stopped from playing.

        why overpriced? I always pirate them but sadly pirated versions only work on Windows.

          I’d rather give my time and money to a game that I find worth paying for rather than pirating, but you do you.
          Also, pirated games, like any other Windows program, work on Wine. Maybe not all, but not all Windows software work on Wine anyway.

            All pirated version of Steam and GOG game work perfectly fine with Wine. If not just check out ProtonDB is it borked or not.

          Pirated versions totally work on Linux. I do quite a bit of pirating.

          It just takes a bit more effort to manage, but I use Lutris for my pirated titles.

            I’ve seen pirated games distributed for linux as an enormous shell script containing a 30GB binary blob that bundles the game along with wine. If it’s stupid and it works, it’s not stupid…
