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?

it's on the sidebar, but here's a direct link to it: https://rentry.co/megathread

I'm so very confused.

Vimm.net seems to be entirely comprised of emulators.

I found it on c/crackwatch. It links to this predb site which prompts you to download a text file that has the same instructions in it as the website. The first instruction says "extract". Extract what? It also says I have to change firewall settings so the game can't connect to the internet and I've no idea how to do that.

I don't see Tony Hawk or any other games on that megathread site.

All these torrent sites just seem to link back and forth to each other.

Search results for a good place to find Torrents turn up nothing but VPN ads.

vimm is for old console/handheld games. on the megathread link go to the games section, go to ones of the torrent sites in general purpose and look up tony hawk

If you can't click 3-5 links within the megathread rentry link and search for one the game you want on lets say 1337, then maybe paying is more your speed

If you live in one of those countries that go after pirate torrenters, (i.e. the united states) then you either shell out money for a VPN or get rate limited by one of the shitty free ones.

I went to 1337 and literally all I got was ads.

I don't know what else to tell you, you go to 1337, search for tony hawk, select the upload that's for the 1+2 remake and open the magnet link or torrent file with your torrent client of choice. that's all the spoon feeding you'll get.

I don't need "spoon feeding". I just need a torrent site that doesn't have literally every button redirect to ads.
