Why do people upload cracked steam versions of games that also released on gog and already have a DRM-free installer? (sopuli.xyz)

I know that 15years ago on the scene usually they cracked games for bragging rights so no DRM version was no fun hence you would find mostly the cracked version uploaded by the scene.

I don't know if it still operates this way.

It does not, now thirsty dudes pay Empress 500 dollars (with no tracking so she can double dip) for cracks and those get passed around. AAA Gaming piracy has fallen into a deep slumber.

Doesn’t help that some really good scene crackers got busted and actually made to work for Denuvo as part of their plea bargain. She is talented, but in it for all the wrong reasons

Isn't she the one that's always ranting about trans people as well? Yeah seems like the scene changed a lot since I was last involved.

She also repeatedly ranted that any male that plays a game with a male character is a homosexual. And that any conventionally attractive woman is a slut. She even went so far as to mod the appearance of female characters in one of her releases to make them more like her, lambasting female beauty standards in the process.

She's one hell of a bigoted nutcase. You can read her unhinged screeds here.
