What the fuck? First they call out Empress for actually being a man from Bulgaria. Then they drop a transphobic slur. Then they defend DRM and publishers.
I can understand supporting the developers and promoting buying software you enjoy when you can. But one of the big motivations for cracking software is software preservation and removing DRM that harms legit user experiences. So I say again, wtf?
I didn't understand the DRM part neither.
There's this thing where they pretend they actually do it to be first and not because they want people to download their cracks. And that's how you get the crazy talk where they pretend they're pro-DRM.
The worst thing is that, compared to empress, they were quite moderate. I don't know what's wrong with them or why they're all so mad... but I love the drama, I'm looking forward to the next episode.
Raging people seldom make much sense or consistency.
