can nix for gaming pirates lead to easy piracy (monyet.cc)

nix allows for flakes which are 100% reproducible (ie. you copy paste a flake it would do the intended stuff only) , this make me realize that now we can have flakes for games like do you want inscryption , sure add this flake and this would install all dependencies and lutris etc. and you just have to link us to the gog-games.to / fitgirl-repack / dodi-repack variant (preferrably , gog-games.to since you can verify it with gog) (i have picked only the goat of gaming piracy from megathread) , imo this can give huge boost to gaming in linux and wine is literally really close to giving native performance and you wont even see the difference

the same logic can be applied to ms excel , powerpoint etc. but i dont see the point after using libreoffice (literally the best thing ever)

I am not extremely familiar with nix and flakes but from my understanding, they create isolated environments like venv or containers, correct? Would that not mean having a separate wine install and especially separate Lutris install per Game? So no single Lutris that lists all games but a separate one for each, kindof defeats the purpose I think. I fail to see the benefit over just clicking it on the lutris website, so not sure if this would gain traction. Open for any suggestions and corrections though!

Nix only stores each version of a package once, environments work by setting environment variables and such to control which packages are visible
