Moving to Linux soon, and wondering how pirated games work with it. I know about proton with steam and lutris for most bought games, but how would I run pirated windows games over there?

oh what are you saying? The largely volunteer-developed reimplementation of the entirety of the Windows / WIn32 API is not perfect? If only I had known!!1
Seriously, of course Wine is not perfect, but your dependency issues are largely minimised when using something like Bottles, which manages them for you. And saying that Wine never delivers a result is factually incorrect, even when just looking at compatibility rating for games, not even accounting for other software.
Bottles is not that much better. Crossover (payed) does a much better job but still it’s funny to see how ReactOS that is 100% “volunteer-developed and a reimplementation of the entirety of the Windows API” performs much better with older Windows applications. I believe they even share code with Wine.
