The crazy fuck actually did it. They Must’ve seen that John Oliver episode where they did a man on the street segment about privacy and everyone was like “I got nothing to hide” until their private information was replaced in questions as “your dick pics” at which point everyone started questioning it all of a sudden.
When you pirate on Linux it’s up to you to make sure you are running it in a compatible environment. Checking protonDB and other sources may show you some workarounds you will need. The other way to do this is to open the game in a terminal, try to run it, look for errors or missing .so files or other things in the terminal output, and use that as a starting point to figure out where you need to go to get it configured the rest of the way.
Lutris scripts and the like do not use pirated sources on purpose, so you are very much on your own with it.
