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?

For anything outside of steam,epic etc you can use Heroic Games launcher (i personally use it for Epic Games,itch.io and games outside of Steam)
Ik it's a Epic Games,GOG and Amazon Games launcher but it works for Games outside of any store

Heroic has treated me very well so far!
