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’.
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
