ESA is the European Space Agency. It's a pretty prominent acronym. They really couldn't bother researching it before registering their little butthurt group? Imagine making a corporate group and calling it NASA.
...so is this "FitGirl" in the room with us right now?
LOL nice, I hope they fear in shiver when hearing the name "FitGirl Repack"
I used to have a data cap and I would sometimes download the Fitgirl version of games I had on Steam simply because they were half the size. 22 gigs vs 60 gigs? Yeah, give me that fitgirl zipped version.
good luck finding her lmfaoooooo
ESA dodging SAMs as we speak.
I can't imagine being the people who pretend companies are hurt by piracy
they are hurt!!!111!!
emotionally because cannot control every aspect of how play their game. if cannot control life of random people using malware, just not fun to make game.
/s
Nintendo's argument is that their games are art, and being unable to control how they're presented degrades the art. My eyes rolled across the room the first time I heard that.
One FitGirl vs a crowd of menacing DMCA men looks like a Kill Bill retake we deserve.
One hopes that Audrey Tatou is available when they produce a film about this
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.
maybe Dodi and FitGirl are one and the same?
I don’t think so, I specifically use Dodi repacks because they seem to extract better. I find FitGirl repacks can take hours to extract and often crash.
Also, I think they’re talking about dodi-repacks.download being a backup for the main Dodi site, not FitGirl.
Fitgirls packs take forever because she uses an insane conpression ratio. They will typically download faster as a result. But installation can take much longer as a result of the compression.
Fortunately, there is the uncapped ram mode. It longer limits itself on ram so its able to uncompress qnd install much more quickly in beefier conputers
"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?
They mean newcomer to the list. Here's what it says right after your quote: "which has been a dominant player in the game piracy landscape for years"
oh, got it.
I almost quoted the whole thing because I was like why would they write "newcomer" and "for years" one after the other?
thanks
That's the beauty of decentralization... Corpos and the state can't really do jack shit about it.
They don't even try if you noticed corpos are busy making other corpos protect their "property" rights....
Stupid fucking bitches doing "capitalism"
From the article, these guys are really clueless about where game cheats get sold, which sucks.
There is a pretty fun metroidvania called The Weird Dream that I only know about because FitGirl repacked it. They don't seem like a threat to me.
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?
Just use Soulseek
Ooo, pretty, thanks!
Good.
Care to elaborate?
They're the best, they should be the target, and they shouldn't be responding to takedown requests.
Oh. That is not how it comes off in your original comment
I like the name "FitGirl"!
