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?

[-] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 69 points 1 month ago

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)

they always have such a unique way of communicating over text

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

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".

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

[-] InterSynth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 118 points 1 month ago

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

[-] DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 32 points 1 month ago

Or are driven insane in the efforts of cracking Denuvo.

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.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 36 points 1 month ago

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.

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.

[-] Marafon@sh.itjust.works 60 points 1 month ago

Empress is making an MMO? Lol

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 93 points 1 month ago

I can't wait until it's revealed to be a worse version of Active Worlds filled to the brim with their insane ramblings.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 22 points 1 month ago

It's anyone taking bets on if she's going to use denuvo?

I legit don't even know what's even worth playing/cracking these days. It feels like a gaming drought rn

[-] padge@lemmy.zip 23 points 1 month ago

I've switched to indie games or older releases in my backlog

Man,I understand why only like 2 complete lunatics are still willing to crack denuvo

But why must it be so

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 33 points 1 month ago

The only thing I was even looking for being cracked was Lies of P but then the devs themselves removed it from the game and also put the game on sale for super cheap so I just bought it anyway 🤷🏻‍♂️

[-] Nangt3c@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 month ago

We need more Denuvo crackers :(

Well that's not unhinged at all...

[-] SilentObserver@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 month ago

As unhinged as her rants are, I find them enjoyable. Especially this post. Though I suppose this post is far milder than many of her previous works. 🤣

I look towards the future with some hope.
