Apologies, it was a link to a reply further down in this thread by [email protected] that is as follows:
Empress is pretty much the only person who cracks Denuvo DRM - the only other person who publicly releases cracks only does it for Football Manager games. However, Empress is just a little unhinged, as this post demonstrates.
There was an r/HobbyDrama reddit post that covers much of the history: https://www.reddit.com/r/HobbyDrama/comments/rowk83/digital_piracy_the_rise_of_empress_how_one_woman/
If you ignore the racism (0.01% of it), she sounds pretty based
Is the anti gay shit not just as bad?
Empress, and shes crazy. Shes also the only one who can crack denuvo
Lmao what the actual fuck is this?
@gravitas_deficiency an insane narcissists fantasy world that people keep feeding into. End of thread.
More specifically: how is this relevant to piracy…?
Edit: also why the @ mention when it’s clearly me you’re replying to? Or is this how cross-platform fediverse content (lemmy <-> mastodon) works?
@gravitas_deficiency I’m using mastadon over lemmy. Sorry. It’s a new thing. This person in particular was basically shaking the community down for crypto donations and when they weren’t getting what they wanted they decided to stop doing it and now they’ve resorted to a demigod complex I guess?
No worries! I was mostly just curious - I had seen that comment pattern recently once or twice, and that was the best explanation I was able to hypothesize, which I guess was accurate-ish.
The rest of the dynamic seems… Eesh.
Cool to learn a bit how Lemmy via Mastodon behaves. I accidentally subscribed to a Lemmy community via my Mastodon account, but I just ended up unsubscribing and resubscribing via my Lemmy account.
@gravitas_deficiency it’s a denuvo crackers private cult page filled with smooth-brained idiots who feed into their malignant narcissism. They were a member of CODEX, only person who cracks denuvo games properly at the moment. Led to their narcissist behavior. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
I wouldn’t really call that “absolute power”, but it is definitely super weird, and somewhat comical to come across out of the blue.
@gravitas_deficiency the last 6 years has been the right wing community seething with anger and resentment. Were seeing a resurgence of strong-arm politics and a return of a cold war. Hard times are ahead my friend. This is a crazy time to be alive.
I mean, in the broad sense of “what’s going on in the world”, I don’t disagree, but how’s that relevant to this piracy community drama…?
@gravitas_deficiency if you read the original post, there’s a bunch of stuff relating to anti-lgbt comments, which in light of the recent controversy over the anti rainbow flag protests in the USA and abroad, it is relevant. It’s coming into the piracy community now, and I guess the point of this post was to make a decision as a community to continue endorsing this person, or conscientiously stop associating with them. Sorry if I wasnt clear. I will never use EMPRESS releases personally
Empress is the only person that cracked denuvo games, and recently they’ve decided to stop cracking them and become a cult leader.
I see. Of all the choices they could have made… that’s one of them, I guess…
Holy shit, I thought this was supposed to be a list of cult warning signs in increasing escalation and was like this makes no sense. I didn’t realize this was actually rules for their cult. WTF.
yes mastodon clients automatically inject those username references (‘@’)
Typo in 3 that makes her look a fool with rule 0.
Has anyone tried to call himself “i” and reply to people with “I’m gonna put you in the trash” or “trashes you”?

I mean it’s not even known if Empress is a single person or multiple, and if it’s a single person, we still don’t know if it’s a man or a woman.
No sexism allowed here.
Sorry boss thought we had freedom here, I’ll be careful next time around. Deleted that post and the rest of mine here. 🫡
I will continue to lurk and leech from here on out.
I thought this was amurica!
I believed Germany, whatever the VPN lands on right? Let’s take a spin, shall we?
Is that for real? Got some serious crazy going there.
Imagine if you rounded up all the hateful, power hungry, bigoted misanthropes from the Warez forums of old and combined them into one. That’s Empress.
Imagine the absolute reckoning if someone managed to touch her with a blade of grass. The singularity would reverse the big bang.
The singularity would reverse the big bang.
Now that’s a funny comment, haha.
There should be legal limits to this level of narcissistic assholism
My Eve Online alliance leader says no.
Would you monkey paw for the ability to crack Denuvo if it gave you a bunch of mental disorders?
This person did.
This is literally how I read most of them. Thank you.
Its ridiculous, dont know why people bother with that, just wait for the cracks…
True man I am wondering how little self dignity one must have to still stick around after this.
I can’t stand her. Wish people would just stop posting about her since she seems incapable of staying quiet and well-behaved like the rest of the scene.
This is discord, right? So what do they even discuss there? I don’t know what there is to talk about.
Telegram and who cares what they discuss it’s all baloney I bet.
I downvoted, and got banned. Worth it. Wish I was banned for "mistakenly calling her Empress, or “yo big girl” or something to troll her.
is this like a sex thing ?
