Pirated game on Linux? (self.piracy)

Moving to Linux soon, and wondering how pirated games work with it. I know about proton with steam and lutris for most bought games, but how would I run pirated windows games over there?

From their Github: Q: Why use the dwarfs format? It makes it less convenient for users. A: Our purpose is to serve a community which is involved enough to be able to follow a short setup page. It enables us to provide users with new technological features that we find useful.

Thank you, and sorry - I made sure to read the FAQ, but I couldn't find the answer for this specific question.

No worries, I actually did not find it either even tho I had read it before. Seems that they removed it from the FAQ but it is still in the search results.

So why aren't they packing the games as flatpaks with their dependencies all baked in?
