Thanks to denuvo and there currently not being any active group capable of cracking denuvo, it’s not a guarantee the game will be cracked. Assassin‘s creed mirage took until last month, over a year after release, for a pirated copy to be available and it uses a debug executable, which may not become available for any other games or at least not in a timely manner. It might not be possible to play those games without the BS. Or on Linux, if it doesn’t run without kernel access for RAM monitoring

Denuvo works on a subscription basis. Sooner or later, they're going to decide it's not worth paying for anymore and the game will be available to pirate. Waiting a year is nothing.

Well, they haven’t so far removed denuvo from a single game, even those that have been cracked already. Ubisoft is big enough, that they might have their very own deal with Denuvo

What happened to Empress or whatever they were called?

I haven't paid close attention but I think she started a cult or something.

From what I understand, she received flak for her anti trans views and decided to call it quits. She is Russian, so maybe she was drafted into the war effort as a hacker, or mosy likely she got paid off by these companies.

Most crackers are in countries where extradition for this would be difficult even with solid evidence. Companies have changed tactic to just paying them off so they just don't do it, or so the rumor mill says. 200k a year to a handful of people is a drop in the bucket for the denuvo cartel.
