It's not impossible, but it is HIGHLY unlikely that malware directed at windows (which must be 99.99999% of cracked games, as they are for Windows) can affect anything in Linux. Sure, it could be that your Wine/Proton suffers. What happens then? Easy. Remove, reinstall, move on.
Having said that,I'll if I were you, I'd just install whatever I want.
I play Sins of a Solar Empire regularly, and it's pirated. All the Command & Conquer games, StarCraft (1 and 2), Warcraft (1 and 2) and many more, all cracked.
And as someone else mentioned, I'm more concerned about malware and/or spyware from the publishers than from the cracked games uploaders.
