How to play pirated games on Linux

Ғылым және технология

This is the quickest, most reliable, and most effective way I found to play games outside Steam on Linux, be it a pirated game, a DRM-free game, or any other types of games.
DISCLAIMER: this video is made purely for educational purposes, which does not include the incentive for piracy. This is merely a way to show the Linux community how to do something that they could do on Windows. I have over 250 games on Steam, I own multiple videogame consoles in which I bought dozens of games on each one of them. I also paid for the game I'm showcasing in this video.

    Nice tutorial for something I will never use, ever ; ) ! Before this tutorial, I would have, hypothetically, tried to launch a game a game via Lutris, but I think it would probably not work as well. Of course, I wouldn't know, since I would never ever try anything like this, ever, obviously.

    i play pirated games through lutris, literally is the same process that you do on windows when you pirate a game, except for the fact that you have even more options in lutris than in normal windows, and the best is that now lutris can use proton and proton ge officially so is even easier to pay all your pirated games lol

    Usually the _funny_ games don’t have online support. The official steam games can be launched using directly steam with very quick and easy setting, you should look for “enabling proton on linux”. For Elden Ring you have “gold” support which means should work, you can look for “ProtonDB” and search for the games you’re interested in, protondb is a list of games with rates on how well they work on linux. I don’t know about the mod usage.
