I am using exclusively Linux since 2008 but between 2008 and 2013 I was not playing any commercial games. Only free software games, retro games with dosbox/scummvm and browser games.
free software you could usually install it easily from distro repositories or it could be useful if you needed the latest to compile it yourself. Ubuntu software center also included commercial software (I say this is extremely stupid). Commercial software could come in .deb (bad) .tgz (good) or various other installers or archives types.

But to answer the question; there were usually the Loki installer https://github.com/megastep/loki_setup that was used for installation.

Edit:
Some commits "20 years ago"
Where does the time go?
