How are people coping with games that just won't run on Linux (aside from leaving them behind)? Do you dual boot Windows? Virtualize? What's your strategy for this?

This will be extremely rare for me since I don't play a lot of competitive stuff, but I'd love to find a solution. I have a large library, and it's bound to happen from time to time.

Then there's the ones that actively block Linux and will ban you if you actually manage to get it to work (*cough* Destiny 2 *cough*)

When somebody tells you "fuck off, I don't want your business", believe them.
