I saw this tweet a while ago that was like “Piracy lore is crazy, there’s only like 2 people who know how to crack Denuvo. One of them is a psychotic transphobe who speaks like a JRPG villain, and the other only cracks football games”
I’m paraphrasing, but honestly it’s so accurate…
Edit: For anyone confused, here is a great writeup on the history of Denuvo cracking, and Empresses lunacy
Illegal? Probably not, so long as you were careful about not hosting any of their code/data
Would doing it publicly end with you getting buried in lawsuits? It might. Anyone can sue for any reason, and copyright holders love making examples of people
I knew about Empress, of course, because how could I not? But I’ve not been in the game piracy community for years, and I had no idea she was this… Unstable.
Aside from balking at the audacity of using a platform for piracy as her own personal blog, the community was quick to knock her down a peg.
So I guess you read them all? The great thinkers? To verify how you are above and beyond their thinking?
Do you understand how utterly arrogant this post makes you? I will tell you why. To put yourself above thinkers like Arthur Schopenhauer, Adam Smith, John Locke, Charles-Louis de Secondat, Immanuel Kant, Thomas Hobbes, Baruch Spinoza, Francisco de Vitoria, Friedrich Nietzsche and so many others. Human beings who have helped shape the foundation of the world we live in today. I am talking about the most basic of basic stuff we now take for granted like property, human rights, democratic governance and rule of law. Without these ideas and those who dedicated their lives to refine them, our world could not be like it is today.
This was a strong argument, but as someone else jokingly pointed out:

Crab Juice
Mountain Dew
Football manager uses a really old version of Denuvo too.
You have to be crazy to crack denuvo, and Empress fits the bill
What a crazy fucking read. Thank you for posting that.
Only two people willing to crack denuvo games. And publicise their cracks.
Usually talent like that leads to well paying jobs, well paying jobs usually lead to wanting to not go to prison.
That doesn’t mean people don’t have the skill, it means they’re not willing to use it, when someone else is already taking the heat
Is it actually illegal to crack Denuvo?

Pretty insulting when you’re scared of something so normal that doesn’t affect you
It’s very obvious ragebait, just don’t respond, it’s what they want.
Welp, that was a wild read. Thank you for sharing!
Both are based in their own charming ways

That was one of the wildest things I read in a while
That was a fantastic read, thx!
I actually LOLd at this
Great read. Thanks 👍
Holy smokes. Got sucked into that one. So is she still the only one that can crack Denuvo? You mentioned 2, is the other not very active or something?
The other cracks football games? You mean like FIFA? Because I haven’t seen any cracks of those…
Football manager.
