It’s slightly harder than Windows but not really hard either. I usually use Lutris like this:

1. Create a folder for the game in ~/Games/
2. Open that new folder in the terminal and run WINEPREFIX=$PWD winecfg to create a new wine prefix and then close winecfg
   • Maybe this could be done in Lutris too but I can’t check right now
3. Put the pirated game into the c_drive folder (Hope I’m remembering the folder name correctly) in that new wine prefix
4. Manually create a new game entry for the game using the information from the Lutris website (If you enter the exact same name and release year as on that website, you can click the reset button under each image and it will automatically download and select them) and select the installer .exe from the game folder as the game executable
5. Start the game in Lutris and go through the installer
6. After the installation is complete, edit the game entry again and select the .exe of the installed game as the executable
7. Delete the pirated game folder (the one with the installer) from the c_drive folder, since we don’t need it anymore
8. Now you can run the game from Lutris or right click it and select the option to create an application menu entry

Actually, I just read something in this comment section about the maintainer of Lutris rejecting PRs and rewriting them with AI which would be pretty shitty if true, so I might look into using something like Bottles instead but the process should be similar.

What???
