Then offer better downloads? FitGirl's repacks exist because some people have incredibly shitty ISPs that impose harsh data caps with dogshit speeds. Downloading an uncompressed 70gb game is just not going to happen, what do these companies suggest people do? Purchase their games and never successfully download them?

Key piracy threat, that doesn't crack games.

Good, they even compiled a list of sources.

Note: this is not about modding games to have muscle mommies or !fitmoe@lemmy.world characters.

"Threat?"

"Markets?"

I don't even bother with games since steam has better service but this fitgirl is a giga 🇹🇩

I dont buy on steam though either grey market keys or code on gamestop. Got to break up these monopolies somehow lol

These corpos got a union to fight her so she must be doing something right.

Remember folks, corpos are not people and they are inherently a threat actor to anyone who is working or buying. Treat them as such.

I remember at least one indie dev saying that they would prefer you pirate the game instead of using key resellers as they tend to cost the devs lots of time and money dealing with credit card fraud.

Giga Romania? Does it contain Hungary? /s
