My (limited) understanding is this:

When someone cracks a game, the end result of their work may not be accessible or easily distributable to average users. Their focus is on cracking the game, not necessarily distributing the crack.

Others like FitGirl come along, creating launchers that take care of any dependencies needed for the game, and in general making it painless to run the cracked game. In other words, they repack the cracked game in a more user-friendly packaging.

If you've seen Breaking Bad, there's a similar dynamic there. Walter may be the one making the product, but he can't distribute it alone - he needs someone to make it widely accessible, if he wants people to actually use his product.

It's been a while since I've felt this good about a game developer. In a time where there's so many cash grabs and half-baked early access titles, it's awesome to see FromSoft approaching development of these games as a craft.

I was surprised how much I like it. Although it can be a bit hand wavy at times, there's something entertaining about a smartass making people with bad intentions look stupid.

I watched it earlier this year and was blown away. So many great characters and storylines. The way they portrayed various systemic problems in society without losing touch with the characters was truly masterful.

Once you finish, there's some interesting analyses and discussions you can find about the show. IIRC, they enlisted a number of urban crime authors to keep the show accurate on certain details.
