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?

Not sure if you are allowed to post direct links here but when I want pirated steam games I always go to https://cs.rin.ru/forum

Search for the game, click on its thread and browse the pages until you find a good crack or repack (fitgirl, dodi and others posts their repacks on that site) or sometimes you will have to download the clean non cracked files on there and patch it yourself. Fortunately that's quite easy.

Here is a link to PS1+2: https://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=105415&hilit=Tony+hawk&start=150

The post by "Masquerade" looks promising.

PSA you need to make an account before links will show, and if the download is encrypted/locked, the password is always "cs.rin.ru" unless something else is specified.

NB: I obviously can't guarantee that the download is safe, but I would trust it. You could also check the other pages if someone you trust (like fitgirl) posted something
