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.
One FitGirl vs a crowd of menacing DMCA men looks like a Kill Bill retake we deserve.

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?
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.
LOL nice, I hope they fear in shiver when hearing the name “FitGirl Repack”
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.
