Sorta this but more so the crackers release essentially a bunch of files and folders that runs the game, someone like fitgirl can take a bunch of the files and rrpack them in a smaller, compressed format. This quickly became popular for people with bad connection, as download size is small; and also for archivalists, who don't need to install/unpack the game, just want to keep it as efficiently as possible
Thank you - forgot about the compression aspect of it
