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'.

ESA is the European Space Agency. It's a pretty prominent acronym. They really couldn't bother researching it before registering their little butthurt group? Imagine making a corporate group and calling it NASA.
