How to play pirated games on Linux

  • 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.

    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

    Good tutorial if you're set on gaming with Linux. After spending a couple hours trying to get control over my laptop fans and turbo button, I decided to spend 20 mins setting up Windows dual boot. I don't see the advantage of gaming on Linux if Windows is an option.

    • @gabrielslab
      @gabrielslab  24 дні тому

      @@BigDaddyPuffAlot true, and now that I only have a gaming laptop (sold my desktop) I'm just using Windows 11. I've never been a Linux aficionado, but I liked using it on my desktop because it worked better for some stuff that was broken at the time (first suspend, then some USB controller problems). Now with this Nvidia laptop I tried Linux just to test it and tbh the results were very underwhelming when connecting it to a secondary monitor. People say it's Nvidia's fault and in some way it really is, but as a consumer, I'll just use the OS that works best with the PC I bought. That's also why I stopped making Linux videos on this channel. Maybe I'll give it a shot again once Cosmic gets released (and if it actually manages to be a good DE).

      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.
