    I wouldn’t really say that. The kind of extreme compression Fitgirl does comes with the tradeoff of really long decompression times. Depending on which games, nearly 45 minutes (with a 7800x3D)

    Some games lack compression but I would not want those long install times by default, if you have a speedy internet connection they usually take longer to install than to download. Don’t get me wrong, for people with really slow internet those repacks are a godsend but they are not “better” on every aspect.

      Honestly I can’t remember the last time a fitgirl release took longer to install than an ‘official’ copy.

      And pretty much as long as I’ve had a computer it’s been “bottom of the barrel” hardware.
