What's the best way to play pirated windows games on Linux?

Ever since I've migrated I stuck to emulation for game piracy cause it was pretty simple. Ive been trying to run some repacked games but I can't get them to install properly.

I don't see many people talk about this probably because most game pirates use windows if I had to guess.

Run it through proton. Import into steam from add non-steam program, or lutris

I can run pirated steam games on steam? that doesnt sound right.

I do it all the time. Just add it to steam as a non steam app and select the proton version you want to use. It will run just fine.

EDIT: If you need to install first, just add the installer as a non steam program, run it, install normally and then chang the path of the exe and the working folder to those of the installed game

How does steam deals with installing on a different HD than system's one? That's the only issue I have had with WINE and I had to unpack in Windows.

It's pretty straightforward. You just select the unit as you do in windows (as long as it is mounted).
