Pirated game on Linux? (sh.itjust.works)

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?

Here's your why: https://lemmy.world/comment/4119679

This is kind of another problem, why can't we have self-contained one click things anymore. Nowadays its all about dependency hell, cloud based stuff and whatnot. It doesn't matter if you're under Windows or Linux still the same crap, long gone are the days when we could get a game on a CD/DVD and be able to install that offline for ever. There should be laws in place against this, software is becoming very "volatile" mostly unreliable and unusable after months or years.
