The ESA, which represents several major gaming companies, has shared an updated list of notorious piracy threats with the U.S. Government. One of the notable newcomers is FitGirl-Repacks, which has been a dominant player in the game piracy landscape for years. Meanwhile, ESA’s report no longer mentions malware, cryptocurrencies, or Scene release groups, which were previously seen as ‘growing trends’.
The site operator is non-responsive to ESA take-down notices and runs a backup version of the site at dodi-repacks.download.
Well, depending on where the website host is located, they may not need to comply. I wasn’t aware of the backup site mentioned above, though; maybe Dodi and FitGirl are one and the same? ;-)
EDIT: Grammar.
I can’t imagine being the people who pretend companies are hurt by piracy
Good.
They’re the best, they should be the target, and they shouldn’t be responding to takedown requests.
Is there a similar list of good stuff [sry, ofc I mean notorious criminals stealing what little money a licensor needs to buy a new yacht] but for music?
From the article, these guys are really clueless about where game cheats get sold, which sucks.
