Pirated games or games downloaded off itchio mostly

Can’t you just download Lutris and tell it to run itch games via Wine? I have done that with one game from itch before but tbh it’s the only time I’ve tried it so it could’ve been a fluke.

Yeah I tried to run a number of games through wine and it was very hard to get anything running sadly

Itch is a bit spotty if you don't want to configure your prefix and it doesn't work under proton, but pirated games work fairly well in lutris using the official versions prefix
