What’s best practice to safely play pirated games on Linux? Looking to mitigate potentially malicious executables from wrecking havoc on my system.

    Downloaded a game which Windows Defender flagged as high-threat for containing “Cracked game content” the other day. Why yes, my cracked copy of this game IS cracked, thank you for noticing.

      It’s funny that would be a thing when it’s been found that even the companies, themselves, like Nintendo, have been caught using pirated versions of their own games for redistribution.

      Wonder if those games would get detected for the same reason.
