Jesus fuck the amount of leechers (40k at time of writing) on this one. This is gonna take a while.

It is a bold move to be "out" as a true and honest woman in the autistic coding world if not a mistake. We mostly have our own thunder-domes or stealth groups which is why males think women who are interested in this sort of thing don't exist lol.
even in online gaming, a lot of women keep their identities on the down low, if they don't out right pretend to be men (I do it too).
 
It's a goddamn shame that the Scene is basically dead at this point, and all that's left is a P2P wannabe like Empress, who puts in .nfo files like they're Scene's hot shit, but because they're a single individual and not a group that at least tries to act semi-professional you get schizo rambling in the .nfo files, but at this point they are the only one cracking Denuvo.
 
My money is on Empress being some Ivan who, if not a tranny, is definitely just larping. But that said, anyone saying women aren't capable of such violent autism hasn't seen the vitriolic bitches on Lolcow Farms. Our BP bitches are tame compared to the hatred those crazy femcel dykes have towards men and their cows.
 
What I really want to know is how hard it really is to crack Denuvo, but we'll likely never get that info unless someone like Voksi comes back from the dead and talks about it.

Big numbers so far. I'm doing my part and seeding even though I'm getting low on disk space.

It's hard enough that there are still a handful of wanted games still uncracked after years now. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 PC is forever an Epic exclusive and still uncracked after nearly 3 years
 
Why is Empress the only game in town though?

I know a LITTLE about game cracking, and although it's extraordinarily difficult these days, I have a hard time believing there's only one person on the entire planet capable of breaking Denuvo.
Without saying anything too specific, yes, there are other people who know. The reason why Empress is the only one releasing Denuvo cracks right now are varied and somewhat complicated. Some of the people who knew got hunted down/doxed by Denuvo affiliated researchers/jealous trolls/ect. and then received a visit from law enforcement and faced penalties/had to promise to stop/had to give up their method to Denuvo to be patched out. Others don't want the methods they know to get patched out and so they keep the knowledge to themselves and those within their circle. One of the most famous crackers stopped because they felt the spirit of the scene had died and for them it was never about giving people free games, but instead about the competition between crackers and proving that they were smarter than the DRM producers. Besides that it actually is fairly complicated (at least as far as I have been told) to crack Denuvo and requires a good amount of time as each crack needs to be tailor-made to each specific game as there is no one-size-fits-all crack to bypass it like there is with something like Steam DRM. Beyond all of that there is also a lot of bizarre drama that goes on behind the scenes in the Warez community which is populated by a lot of "colorful" and intense personalities (just take a look at Empress, yeah the Hogwart's rant is based, but it's far from her first rant and not all of them have such sensible commentary) and it leads to people being paranoid, controlling and greedy, some of them hoarding their knowledge similar to how there are rare game collectors out there with the only known copy of certain unreleased games who refuse to flash the ROM and share lest it "deprecate the value".
 
Wouldn't refusing to crack Hogwarts Legacy own the trannies a lot more? and they worked in overdrive mode to crack it really fast too,in fact, exceptionally fast. Really makes you think.

Empress is one weird loony troon.
I could write that off as being a principled decision (software should always be free) or fear that "If I say I won't do it they'll say I can't do it." From what I know about her(?) those both seem equally plausible.
