I want to play gta san andreas, but the only version available at stores is the nasty remake that rockstar did a while ago, there is a way to play pirate games on linux?

    Now, hear me out. I know steamunlocked.net isn’t the best source out there, but it seems to be the only site to actually preinstall your games. What I’m trying to say is, if you download gta sa from them you just get the game folder with the game executable and you’re instantly able to just install mods without any setup. I say this because when I was in the same situation as you (i think about a year ago) , I couldn’t get past the setups for gta sa, and this just worked. However, it might be worth it to take the game from any other source, and just install using the setup on either a windows vm, or another computer. Just know I’ve personally never had an issue with the files, but about 2 years ago (I think). The host they use for the files slowed down downloads.

      Why did you down vote me? I said nothing wrong. I even gave him another option. Did you even read the comment?

        The alternative is incredible long, unintuitive, and this is a space for linux and I can see some users down voting purely for anti windows sentiment.

        The first option is palatable, but as pointed out by another user igg can’t be trusted.

      steamunlocked gets their games from igg which have been caught with malware multiple times. There are plenty of sources that don’t repack their games that you can find in fmhy.net
