Woohoo, so the number of people that can crack Denuvo is now up to three, right? Two if you only count recent iterations.

Who are the others? Empress is one, and the other?

I think football manager or some other sports game uses an outdated version of Denuvo and is more easily cracked. I guess they have to crack it often for DLC or updates. I don't really know.

Thanks, I though you meant the latest version of Denuvo

Kind of bad news, because this guy stopped just when he knew he was cappable of bypassing it.

It really seems you have to be that kind of crazy (Empress kind of crazy) to actually complete the task to the point to make a game functional, so kind of bummer.
