    Isn’t that like 90% of the point of the repack? To heavily compress things and drastically reduce the download size of a game?

      Then I suppose I am looking for a download resources that aren’t repacks, or at least aren’t so heavy and convoluted on the way they pack.

      What I liked about fitgirl is the reputation. A resource I can trust and quality is consistent.

      I thought 90% was defeating DRM and 10% was reducing download size. Doesn’t matter how quick the download is if DRM blocks you from running the game.

      I don’t pirate games (any more) but my understanding is that FitGirl is one of the few crackers who can defeat denuvo, which means the only choice for pirates is repack.

        That’s just downloading the game and getting the crack.

        You are mistaking Fitgirl (generally seems to be a pretty cool person) with Empress (transphobic shitbag but puts the time in to remove denuvo). Fitgirl repacks are generally more about massive compression and dealing with the mess that is (generally nintendo and) emulators for modern platforms. Like, I allegedly grabbed my copy of breath of the wild out of one of her repacks because I could not be bothered to figure out how to get all the DLCs set up.

        FitGirl only repacks; he doesn’t defeat Denuvo. The only crackers within the last twelve months or so to crack Denuvo have been MKDEV and EMPRESS, both of whom are no longer active in the scene.

            My guy, I can’t believe I have to point this out, but FitGirl is a woman.

            We actually don’t know, as their identity has never been revealed. The ‘FitGirl image’ is of French actress Audrey Tautou.
