Yes.
on windows, or a console.
I can run any software designed for Linux or Windows. Period.
If a package doesn't function, it's because the developers arbitrarily decided to disable it for capitalist reasons. Not because it won't work.
So the answer to "can Linux run X game made for Windows" is always yes. Always.
So. No then. You either are holding onto a zero day workaround for their anti-cheat OR the answer is no.

You asked if they can run. The answer is yes.
You're the one shifting to "may they run, p-pleaze".
Are you upset that I can run any program on Linux? Why?
Yes. That’s exactly what it is. I’m upset you can run any program on Linux. You got me.
