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?
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
