FitGirl Repacks is a famous website run by a single individual (or a small team) known for compressing video games to a fraction of their original size without removing gameplay content. FitGirl takes the original CODEX release (which might be 30GB to 40GB) and uses ultra-level compression algorithms (like FreeArc and LZMA) to shrink it down to, for example, 10GB to 15GB.
