I am editing a page on a wiki, and I don't want to accidentally publish misinformation.

I know of empress, but is there anyone else releasing cracked Denuvo games?

RIP CODEX

Edit: Denuvo not Denvuo

isn't it only Empress at this point, which is the entire reason why she is tolerated?

[-] [email protected] 53 points 2 years ago

Yup, just the nutter doing it.

I feel like I'm missing something here

Why do people say they're crazy?

For context I have no idea who this "Empress" is

[-] [email protected] 53 points 2 years ago

Transphobe who talks like a JRPG villain. Here's a rationalwiki article about her.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Ah that explains a lot and they do sound pretty unhinged

Thanks for the link

so why do you dispute the fact she is crazy? 😂 and why do you call her "they"? the word "empress" is pretty gender-clear.

At no point did I dispute the accusations, I simply asked out of curiosity why people say Empress is crazy.

As for why I referred to her as they, I honestly didn't notice that I did. I typically use gender neutral terms when referring to people simply out of habit.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago

“they” is fine to use for any individual or group as a catch-all.

[+] [email protected] -21 points 2 years ago

so, your decision how to call someone is more important than the person's wish? really?

imagine that riot if it were the other way around...

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

They/them is gender neutral. People literally use it to avoid offending people by accidentally misgendering.

It's not like they went out of their way to say he or "they" to try and trigger people. She's also not here stating her "wish".

With all the actual assholes out there it's ignorant as fuck to be so reactionary on someone else's behalf when the person you're attacking is likely on the same side as you.

I'm sure there'd be no reaction at all if you called them they. Feel free to watch I guess since I did it.

I tolerate her because she's fuckin hilarious.

There is a crack team called MKDEV that targets Football Manager series which uses a slightly weaker version of Denuvo. They didn't crack the 2024 series so far, but chances are they will sometime soon.

[-] [email protected] 35 points 2 years ago

I'm pretty sure MKDEV, who is one person, quit cracking earlier this year.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

Oh damn, that'a sad loss

[-] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago

I have little doubt someone will lay into me for saying this but is even Empress bothering anymore? I haven't seen anything from her in months.

[-] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago

Apperently she is busy modding starfield, she said that in an nfo

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Great. She'll be busy fixing that turd for at least 5 years. 😩

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

I saw that on her telegram but wasn't sure how serious she was about it. I guess we won't be seeing any denuvo infections get cured any time in the near future cause god knows that shitheap is going to need plenty of attention.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago

Pretty sure it's only Empress. On another note, I would not believe the Empress story if I hadn't been around long enough to actually watch everything play out in real time.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Is there a documented history or tl;dr I could check out to catch up?

[EDIT] nvm, conversation one comment thread down linked to this: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/EMPRESS

[-] [email protected] 25 points 2 years ago

Pretty sure it's just Empress lol

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago

There are two, Empress and I can't remember the other name, the other person/group just does Football Manager games running older versions of Denvuo

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

I believe youre talking about MKDEV, but someone else in this thread said they quit earlier this year :/

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yes MKDev (also called MenuDev by some) cracked FIFA 23 before exiting the cracking scene this year.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

If I recall correctly, CODEX's Denuvo cracker was Empress anyway, so it has been just her for a long while now. There have been one or two cracks by other people for games using ancient versions of Denuvo that nobody bothered to crack before, but she's the only one doing anything with Denuvo's current version.
