They can just run a windows VM which shouldn't require too much memories for the kinds of games they want to play.

No VM solution I know of supports 3D-accelerated graphics. VMware Workstation used to, but they removed it years ago because it was a security risk (direct access to 3rd-party drivers on the host).

VMs are useless for most gaming.

For games up to around the late 90s, and if you have a real beast of a machine, full emulation such as with PCem is the best option.

I haven't used a VM for gaming recently so I didn't know they don't support graphics anymore. That's a bummer!
