from her telegram

Following Empress’ bullshit via Telegram screenshots is a fun experience. I like to think of it as the B-plot of digital piracy.

I dig their cracks but i don’t follow the drama. Care to offer a primer on the soap opera?

Go into the notes of almost any of their releases and you’ll find borderline schizophrenic screeds full of hate and bigotry. Racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, thinking the Harry Potter series is good, all kinds of shit. Also, at least once she said she was going to jail because she was caught cracking something but kept putting out releases without any disruption. Here’s one from the time she was accused of being a trans woman (cw: all of the above)

It’s genuinely a lot. EMPRESS has an ego, and has started shit with anyone they can. This ranges from other crackers, to repackers, to the people requesting cracks. They see themselves as the hot shit because “I’m the only one who can crack Denuvo”.

she pretended she got arrested by some guys on reddit who leaked her address

some serious people ON REDDIT managed to report me to authority with my real address, i am not quiet sure how it happened, but even with putting my philosophical side aside, i think i pissed off the entire internet just by trying to control “MY” own crack for 24 hour is actually something i am still not able to believe. in less than an hour, i will be dragged out of my home here with my lawyer, but considering i was caught red handed while preparing version 2 fix for my immortals crack, i don’t think there will be much of hope against it at all.

Her message to those who had insulted her was totally not at all bitter – she thought they were ‘all beautiful people’ who she definitely didn’t hate, because they had just made a mistake. This was all somewhat rich for a woman who was rapidly developing hints of megalomania and power-madness.

And then she made an Obi-wan-esque speech about ‘remembering me’ and ‘contuing on my path’.

Everyone was quick to point out the flaws here. The police generally don’t bust down your door, catching you ‘red-handed’ cracking Denuvo, then call you to tell you they’re going to arrest you in an hour, so you have time to write out a long and dramatic letter blaming others for your woes. —this write-up

-day/night, etc

Once she pieces together that dusk and dawn are in there too she’ll figure out day should be mid-day and night should be mid-night. She’s right there to becoming history’s second timecuber. All she needs to do is take that step past duality, from two to four.

Literally everything she listed there except life/death has gradients. Like does she not realize that words like Day, Night, Hot, Cold, are all just terms humans applied to describe something? Has she not heard of cool, warm, dusk, dawn, twilight, noon, afternoon, evening, morning?

The world would be a much less interesting place if someone besides her was cracking Denuvo.

True, but apparently you need to be insane to crack Denuvo.

Copy protection software that is very hard to crack because it seems to be everywhere in the game binary so you have to meticulously go through the whole thing to weed it out.

It’s been known to slow games down because it’s called too often to check if your game copy is not pirated.

She’s such a narcissist that she couldn’t stay out of the spotlight. lol.

Regardless; I doubt that any game she could develop would be any good; and I shudder to think of what deranged DRM scheme she will cook up to protect her own game. It’ll probably be worse than Denuvo, knowing how unstable she is.

Genuinely, the scene is better without her hate filled screeds polluting the web. Her abilities might be appreciated more if she got some mental help and she could rejoin the scene as a positive force; not someone who lets their ego run rampant and spews hate at the slightest provocation.

Unfortunately the scene is too cowardly to NUKE her output into obscurity until she cleans her spew up.

Well, MMOs don’t really need DRM. They mostly just need anti-cheat. The server can check for legit ownership or not. Usually it’s only single-player games that get cracked.

MMO’s get cracked too. Used to play Ragnarok Online in a pirate sever paying 0$.

They can. It’s a lot harder and different though. It requires emulating the server software and replicating it. It won’t be the same servers as the main game, and also usually requires knowledge of something not provided with the game.

Op… She said she will return AFTER her MMO is ready and is going well.
That won’t happen. There’s no way it doesn’t get stuck in development hell. She’s never coming back.

Is it considered regicide if you take down an empress?

Either way, time to take back the holy land.
