This.

Having a subscription doesn’t mean you have the right to pirate when the service goes down. You only own what you buy.

I’m a long-term Linux user living mostly on the terminal, knowing quite a lot about the operating system. And sometimes I enjoy tinkering to get a game running even more than playing it. But in the end for some games it just doesn’t work. Of course it depends on the game and hardware and what not, but in the end if I can’t play all my games on Linux I have to bite the bullet and check for alternatives. And for me this statement is hard as hell.

I’ve seen this exact situation so many times.

1. Ask the community about gaming on Linux
2. Get the response that it works (install Steam and play)
3. Install Steam
4. Game doesn’t work
5. Invest hours in troubleshooting
6. Have the community explain why it doesn’t work in your particular case
7. After hours of fiddling get it working

I’ve been in this situation myself so many times. I like fiddling with my system but even I ended up dual-booting Windows just for gaming.
