I run arch and have never tried pirating games on a Linux distro before. Mostly just movies and music but I’ve run some cracks on my girlfriends windows install so I’m not unfamiliar with it. Would most game cracks run through lutris? Or would I have to download from some place like gog?

    Just curious, are there any native cracks for Linux? As in, for ports of games done by Feral Interactive, Aspyr, etc

      Yes, and you can crack those yourself as well. Goldberg Steam Emulator works on Linux Steamworks API games, and you can unwrap SteamDRM from Linux executables with pyUnstub. Sometimes you’ll need to fake a local Steam runtime for Linux games as well (Windows games can also have this problem I think, but it’s much more rare for some reason).

      Anything native Linux that uses a DRM that’s not Steam-based is probably rare and custom.

        I didn’t know that Goldberg’s Steam emulator worked on non-DLL Steamworks implementations. Thanks!
