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?

Never heard that, and can testify that's absolute nonsense.

If you were really worried you could even install with steam in offline mode I believe.

Yep, they aren't trying to figure out what games, one manually adds to the Steam library.
