I am editing a page on a wiki, and I don’t want to accidentally publish misinformation.

I know of empress, but is there anyone else releasing cracked Denuvo games?

RIP CODEX

Edit: Denuvo not Denvuo

There is a crack team called MKDEV that targets Football Manager series which uses a slightly weaker version of Denuvo. They didn’t crack the 2024 series so far, but chances are they will sometime soon.

I’m pretty sure MKDEV, who is one person, quit cracking earlier this year.

Pretty sure it’s only Empress. On another note, I would not believe the Empress story if I hadn’t been around long enough to actually watch everything play out in real time.

isn’t it only Empress at this point, which is the entire reason why she is tolerated?

I feel like I’m missing something here

Why do people say they’re crazy?

For context I have no idea who this “Empress” is

Transphobe who talks like a JRPG villain. Here’s a rationalwiki article about her.

so why do you dispute the fact she is crazy? 😂 and why do you call her “they”? the word “empress” is pretty gender-clear.

If I recall correctly, CODEX’s Denuvo cracker was Empress anyway, so it has been just her for a long while now. There have been one or two cracks by other people for games using ancient versions of Denuvo that nobody bothered to crack before, but she’s the only one doing anything with Denuvo’s current version.

MKDEV cracked Football Manager 2023 and FIFA 23 and even infodumped his workflow. Sadly, nobody seems to have picked up his place.
