I miss mostly anonymous people cracking games without running around screaming from the rafters about gremlins in their modems stealing their breakfast bars. I can't believe most if not all Denuvo releases are now only cracked by this person.

shit, what happens when she kicks the bucket? maybe someone else will emerge but it's been so long already, and they haven't, so it could take years and years
Demand is what causes Supply. Somewhere out there is someone with the skill to crack Denuvo, but no need to, because this lunatic is already doing it. And being the competition means being on empress' radar, which is really something a sane person would not want.
That's wishful thinking.
She can only crack so many games, so the demand for the other games already stays without supply.
The scene was much bigger before denuvo, the supply obviously went down independently of the demand.
Also the demand/supply argument only makes sense where there is payment. There are starving people in the world who's demand is not met bc the can't pay while there are millions of facelifts administered to people who will pay large sums.
Denuvo has succeeded in imposing such a huge threshold onto cracking that from the talented people only the most driven stayed in the game. With no money in it you need to be driven by something else, usually ego. Even if there is a successor to empress chances are that is true for them as well.
I don't mind the rants, it's fun if you take it as it is: Part of the Spectacle. I don't believe empress is a single person with schizophrenia, most likely a group of people with a specific sense of humor
Found the empress team member
The popularly linked post in this thread has a link to empress' Indian rant but that's dead now, so here's a screenshot :
you know whats sad - there are no denuvo crackers right now other than this psychopath bitch
I'm just going to assume if she disappears, at any point, that she is in rehab for meth. Lots of meth.
It was kind of funny the first few times, now I just kind of cringe at her whenever she has one of these meltdowns.
Genius and insanity are close bedfellows.
Empress is a neurotic narcissist who needs to be NUKED at every release and HARD MUTED, IGNORED, AND DEPLATFORMED by every sociopathic rant she makes.
We should not be giving her attention by talking about her; she needs to be SHUNNED into OBSCURITY. Let her fucking philosophize in her own damn isolation. Her behavior is unacceptable by most social standards and her contributions to society are not so significant we can't do without them.
I would agree except for the fact that the only person out there who cracks denuvo is a delirious psycopath. The denuvo piracy lore is so fucking hillarious
Pretty sad that this bitch is getting paid to crack things. I don't know what's stopping a band of people to just hack her shit up and take what's been helping to crack denuvo so it isn't bottlenecked by unchecked individuals such as she.
I honestly think her mental illness is what gives her the ability to Crack denuvo
