Also these days with ransomware, crypto miners, botnets and other crap like that it's insane to run random *.exe files on your computer. Especially if you also doing stuff like online banking on it.

It's simply not worth the risk. And games that I want will be on sale sooner or later anyway.

Games usually have all sorts of issues when running in a VM.
