Get your games from trusted sources, make sure the hash lines up, and don't worry about it. Especially since you're on Linux--you'll be absolutely fine. Common sense goes a long way.

If you're really paranoid, you could run the game inside bubblewrap, inside a container.
lmao literally my setup + a VM layer on top of it all.
Maybe im too paranoid
Not an expert, but I assume Bottles would be a good idea. It allows you to create separate wine prefixes for each app so if any app is malicious, it shouldn't affect any other one.
Spin up a VM, load the game on that.
Not sure why youre being down voted, theoretically this is like the safest way to run a game "on linux", even if you are using windows under it lol
