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’.

    “One of the notable newcomers is FitGirl-Repacks”

    Fitgirl’s been around over a decade.

    they’ll catch up to fitgirl in another decade or so, by which time there are going to be five new fitgirls. five dozen?
