The average unpacked size of the game comes to about 8.7 GB, while the median size is only 5.1 GB. “The source size of all releases, most of which are scene ISOs, is equal to 1370 GB (1.33 TB), which unpack to a size of 1905 GB (1.86 TB). An impressive 82% of those repacks (128) were of new games while 29 were updated titles. In the month of October alone, FitGirl repacked an astonishing 157 games, which averages out to about five games every single day. It provides a unique insight not only into FitGirl’s releases but what appears to be an almost unhealthy dedication to the art of repacking and releasing. In what will hopefully become a regular feature detailing FitGirl’s work, in recent days the ‘Amelie Report’ for October 2021 was published on FitGirl’s site. What isn’t mentioned often, however, is the sheer number of releases made by what is believed to be a single-person operation. In part, that’s due to FitGirl’s popularity but also the quality of their releases. With tens of millions of visits per month, FitGirl’s torrent index is one of the most popular around and is only growing in popularity. Of Russian origins and using the likeness of Amélie, FitGirl releases typically offer everything the average videogame pirate needs – games with protections removed (or bypassed), delivered via torrents, in a much smaller file size than the original. Perhaps unsurprisingly though, people always step in to provide a way.įitGirl is arguably the most famous videogame “repacker” in the world today.
Even now, not everyone has the bandwidth or time available to dedicate to grabbing these releases. Where games of a few kilobytes once ruled the waves, these days files reaching tens of gigabytes are not unusual. Downloading pirated copies of videogames from the internet has been a thing for around three decades already but today’s scene stands apart from the earliest days of the web.
