Who the fuck is this toxic person?
The only person on this planet who cracks denuvo :_D
She is a misandric, homophobic, transphobic, extremely irascible, conflictive, psychotic, rude, narcissistic, paranoid, conspiratorial, liar and a long etcetera that probably includes schizophrenia and drugs. Oh, and she has a cult, she is multifaceted ¯_(ツ)_/¯
You seem to have dropped this arm: \
Thanks glad you picked it up I almost tripped over it at the bottom of the page
and imagines herself as a rapist, and is proud of it (per her posted content)
You misspelled "she's a garbage human"
She’s the one
My m8y in pilfering, not even I reckon I could patch the holes in that bilge sucking wench
One of the most popular sources for game piracy unfortunately
Popular feels like the wrong word. If you're the only game in town for a specific service, that doesn't inherently mean you're popular.
If you have no other competition in a specific service whatsoever, no matter how many people despise you, you'd still be the most popular by lack of competition.
Depends on how exactly you define popular.
If you use a definition that includes anything like "liked and admired" then she doesn't fit. Her service is busy but as this thread shows, most people openly state they only go to her because they have no other choice for these cracks.
Using popular hides how many people actively want to jump ship if only there was competition. It's like saying that Comcast is popular because they have so many customers who don't have a viable alternative to using them.
Holy fuck go back to Reddit
I'm sorry for, pointing out how popular isn't the best choice of word?
But no matter how you slice it, popular isn't a great descriptor. Whether you choose the prescriptivist "the dictionary says x thus the word means x no matter what" or the descriptivist "most people use the word to mean y thus the word means y no matter what", in this case they both agree.
Both groups agree that when I say "Jim is popular" it makes you think that people generally like Jim. It evokes some level of communal approval. The dictionary literally defines the word to mean likeable, and the general usage still seems to denote general approval.
So either way, it doesn't represent the Empress situation. A situation where the majority of the community at best doesn't care and at worst openly dislikes her as a person because of her behavior, but still comes back for the games. She has a monopoly, but that doesn't make her inherently popular. Most people who know seem to dislike, and most who don't will also have no bearing on her popularity.
He’s not saying she has a popular personality she’s saying her cracks are popular because they are, you pedant
The only person that can crack denuvo right now.
Clearly fucked in the head but there's no other option.
I'm really really surprised nobody else has hunkered down to learn how to crack Denuvo just to give this toxic shit the middle-finger. I mean, piracy groups are full of autistic weapons, and nobody has taken up the challenge?
I think it’s more likely that there are others who don’t publicly share their cracks because they doesn’t want legal trouble/attention.
I don't buy this. It's easy to upload files anonymously.
Yeah but why take that risk? They don’t really gain anything.
They can't gain recognition, uploading anonymously. But if someone purely wants the crack for the game to exist they could do it
Once again, why would they share their cracks if its for personal use?
Do people create mods for games or create open source software solely for recognition?
Mods and open source software are not illegal.
You're missing the point I've made completely.
My point is that a contributor to open source software can contribute just to help people because they don’t have to worry about legal repercussions.
Being anonymous isn't incompatible with helping people
The point I’m trying to make is some people don’t want risk getting raided by the fbi just to give people free games
Cracking Denuvo requires being there from the start, since with every new release new obstacles are added. If you try to crack denuvo now you’ll be completely lost, and getting copies of old Denuvo doesn’t seem this easy I guess. Empress had been there since Denuvo v1 so 🤷♂️
Not can but is willing to. Denuvo's legal team is going after anyone who reverse engineers any part of their DRM and they have gotten a lot of groups to back off. Empress is in Russia so she won't face any consequences unless she pisses off any of the Russian oligarchs, which also means she probably will never crack Atomic Heart but then again she is crazy.
Obviously she only rapes and violates men
