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’.
I can’t imagine being the people who pretend companies are hurt by piracy
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.
From the article, these guys are really clueless about where game cheats get sold, which sucks.
Good.
They’re the best, they should be the target, and they shouldn’t be responding to takedown requests.
…so is this “FitGirl” in the room with us right now?
