Playing pirated video games on Linux (lemmy.wtf)

Anybody know how to play pirated Windows games on Linux? I recently installed Lubuntu (22.04.2 Jammy Jellyfish) on my ancient laptop and all the guides I can find and trying out Lutris only seem to apply to "legit" copies bought from the official sources.

Is it even possible or will I have to do dualboot when I install Linux on my gaming desktop?

When installing the game with bottles make sure you mount the folder you want the game to install to as a drive in bottles. Then I point steam at the folder by adding a non-steam game and forcing the use of proton support in the options for the non-steam game in steam.
