So the actual cracking/security breaking of the software was already done (fitgirl doesn’t crack software herself or at least that’s not what she’s offering), what Fitgirl does is that she compresses the cracked game down and reduces the file size so that it’s cheaper to transfer over the network and store on people’s machines. The savings can be upwards of dozens of GBs which translates into money and resources saved.
the extra compute compressing and decompressing might not make up for the transfers but it would be really hard to figure out your electricity delta, her electricity delta, the infrastructure, etc compared to the direct metering of data caps.
