      The only person on this planet who cracks denuvo :_D

      She is a misandric, homophobic, transphobic, extremely irascible, conflictive, psychotic, rude, narcissistic, paranoid, conspiratorial, liar and a long etcetera that probably includes schizophrenia and drugs. Oh, and she has a cult, she is multifaceted ¯_(ツ)_/¯

        Popular feels like the wrong word. If you’re the only game in town for a specific service, that doesn’t inherently mean you’re popular.

          If you have no other competition in a specific service whatsoever, no matter how many people despise you, you’d still be the most popular by lack of competition.

            Depends on how exactly you define popular.

            If you use a definition that includes anything like “liked and admired” then she doesn’t fit. Her service is busy but as this thread shows, most people openly state they only go to her because they have no other choice for these cracks.

            Using popular hides how many people actively want to jump ship if only there was competition. It’s like saying that Comcast is popular because they have so many customers who don’t have a viable alternative to using them.

                I’m sorry for, pointing out how popular isn’t the best choice of word?

                But no matter how you slice it, popular isn’t a great descriptor. Whether you choose the prescriptivist “the dictionary says x thus the word means x no matter what” or the descriptivist “most people use the word to mean y thus the word means y no matter what”, in this case they both agree.

                Both groups agree that when I say “Jim is popular” it makes you think that people generally like Jim. It evokes some level of communal approval. The dictionary literally defines the word to mean likeable, and the general usage still seems to denote general approval.

                So either way, it doesn’t represent the Empress situation. A situation where the majority of the community at best doesn’t care and at worst openly dislikes her as a person because of her behavior, but still comes back for the games. She has a monopoly, but that doesn’t make her inherently popular. Most people who know seem to dislike, and most who don’t will also have no bearing on her popularity.

        I’m really really surprised nobody else has hunkered down to learn how to crack Denuvo just to give this toxic shit the middle-finger. I mean, piracy groups are full of autistic weapons, and nobody has taken up the challenge?

          I think it’s more likely that there are others who don’t publicly share their cracks because they doesn’t want legal trouble/attention.

                They can’t gain recognition, uploading anonymously. But if someone purely wants the crack for the game to exist they could do it

          Cracking Denuvo requires being there from the start, since with every new release new obstacles are added. If you try to crack denuvo now you’ll be completely lost, and getting copies of old Denuvo doesn’t seem this easy I guess. Empress had been there since Denuvo v1 so 🤷‍♂️

        Not can but is willing to. Denuvo’s legal team is going after anyone who reverse engineers any part of their DRM and they have gotten a lot of groups to back off. Empress is in Russia so she won’t face any consequences unless she pisses off any of the Russian oligarchs, which also means she probably will never crack Atomic Heart but then again she is crazy.

    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.

          I got banned for quoting a subreddit rule to a mod (as a reason the mod was out of line) after they posted why they banned someone. I may not be good at sports or computers, but I’m part of the team now!

            The classic one is the code of conduct stating “Set reasonable rules and expectations” which most bans don’t meet.

            I got banned from a subreddit for pointing out to the mod that their comment equating “receiving a poor-quality product” to “rape” was unnecessary and short-sighted. They then told me that they were a victim, thus it is okay.

            Lol. Reddit moderation is a joke.

            Btw that mod frequents lemmy too, now.

        Is she really a bigot? To me she just appears to be someone who can not seperate porn from other aspects of her life. Does she really hate all these groups of people even outside this “Mother” persona?

    Saw someone the other day say something like “she’s the only one who cracks denuvo. She’s insane but it’s best not to bite the hand that feeds you.”

    My brother in christ the hand is biting YOU. I would not trust ANYTHING she cracks anywhere near my PC. Consider it all malware.

      Problem is the damage what this unstable person can do. She’s distributing binaries that are executed on windows PC with security measures disabled on purpose. If she went rogue and started inserting malware or cryotominers, tons of people would be affected.

    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.
