This is why I don’t trust her releases. God knows what she’ll put in them to try and get at her “enemies” during some psychotic episode.

Don’t forget the: “I’m the greatest philosopher who ever lived” and “I use visions and astral-states to crack my games” parts
Well, astral projection is real, though I don’t know the validity in using it to crack computer games
huh? astral projection real? 🤨
If the second one is true, even in a subjective sense, I’m honestly just impressed. I mean, if it works, it works.
I’m torn between this and thinking she wouldn’t want to risk the hit to her reputation.
FitGirl refused to repackage her content out of similar fears, though I’m sure the thought alone of FG getting to make a “told you so” post drives enough rage in her to ensure it likely wouldn’t happen.
lol @ windows users and their precious viruses. so cute.
So what lol. It’s still better than Linux.
lol, enjoy those downvotes
To be fair, I was trolling the linux users, never used linux lol. As seen by my voting, i succeeded.
When I use Linux… I am the virus
ok, there, Zero Cool, lol
I don’t mind the rants, it’s fun if you take it as it is: Part of the Spectacle. I don’t believe empress is a single person with schizophrenia, most likely a group of people with a specific sense of humor
I disagree. But, if true, we have been trolled to an elite level.
Is it really elite trolling if it’s literally just saying things that are generally offensive? Lmao
Found the empress team member
At least she didn’t use the f slur this time
french
Oh, she still exists…
Until someone else comes along to Crack Denuvo she will be around
I love me some good Empress drama.
I miss mostly anonymous people cracking games without running around screaming from the rafters about gremlins in their modems stealing their breakfast bars. I can’t believe most if not all Denuvo releases are now only cracked by this person.
shit, what happens when she kicks the bucket? maybe someone else will emerge but it’s been so long already, and they haven’t, so it could take years and years
Demand is what causes Supply. Somewhere out there is someone with the skill to crack Denuvo, but no need to, because this lunatic is already doing it. And being the competition means being on empress’ radar, which is really something a sane person would not want.
That’s wishful thinking.
She can only crack so many games, so the demand for the other games already stays without supply.
The scene was much bigger before denuvo, the supply obviously went down independently of the demand.
Also the demand/supply argument only makes sense where there is payment. There are starving people in the world who’s demand is not met bc the can’t pay while there are millions of facelifts administered to people who will pay large sums.
Denuvo has succeeded in imposing such a huge threshold onto cracking that from the talented people only the most driven stayed in the game. With no money in it you need to be driven by something else, usually ego. Even if there is a successor to empress chances are that is true for them as well.
Didn’t someone do a write up about a general how to hack Denuvo?
can you send a link to it?
Try looking up denuvo v4 work around. IIRC it basically removes some early assembly neutering denuvo’s ability to exit or interfere with the execution of the game.
Lol, this sounds like a grandma complaining that Facebook is deleting her posts
As crazy as that makes Empress sound, I’m definitely willing to look past this kinda stuff because it’s best not to bite the hand that might feed you.
Also, we definitely need more crackers (especially of the d€nuvo kind) to step up and train the next generation of crackers instead of just ranting online about their torrents being removed from popular sites.
Excusing crazy people doing crazy things cause they give you free stuff is the shittiest take I’ve seen on lemmy
Everybody’s crazy. It’s 2023.
Are you really comparing “everyone” to empress?
I’m just saying getting stuff from Empress is no worse than getting it from a corporation. She’s going to be equally crazy whether you download her cracks or not, at least she’s not exploiting child labor or destroying the environment in the process.
Corporations aren’t going to fill their software with crypto mining malware and when exposed go torched earth trying to put the blame on their accusers.
Exactly. I’d rather take the unhinged rants and malware than the destruction of the planet and perversion of human society, thank you very much
I personally believe that, since piracy is already illegal in the developed world, and since I live in a politically divided first world country, that we don’t need to bring politics and stuff into this.
Besides, we don’t have many better options when it comes to d€nuvo than to accept the people who crack games with modern variations of it. I especially don’t since I’m not smart enough to crack it and also since I go for pre-cracked games for the convenience of not having to apply the cracks myself.
But that’s capitalism.
wtf is the context here and who is this person
Empress is a video game cracker, the only active cracker who releases games protected by Denuvo. That’s an extremly popular digital rights management system for stop game cracks used by Triple A game publishers. She is also completely nuts and regularly has very odd rants. It appears she’s accusing 1337x owners of inserting malware into releases. 1337x is a popular site for accessing torrents of cracked games and one Empress regularly released on.
Can somebody enlighten me on who this is and why I should care?
It’s the only person who can crack Denovo-protected games
She’s also a delusional wannabe cult leader and may actually be insane.
Okay well now I’m interested. I’ve been looking for a fun new cult to join.
You should check out her rants. They release with each of her releases. Little info file.
You should see her rant on Hogwarts Legacy.
this sums her up pretty well surprisingly
Every other group got legal action taken against them so they stopped cracking denuvo, Empress doesn’t care since she’s in Russia. Denuvo’s legal team is more competent than their developers unfortunately.
It was kind of funny the first few times, now I just kind of cringe at her whenever she has one of these meltdowns.
Genius and insanity are close bedfellows.
When they’re too close the person usually doesn’t make it beyond around 32 yo…
