Please for the love of God someone else crack denuvo so we can cast Empress into the fiery furnace where there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
As a person who doesnt pirate games I hope empress reigns supreme for the rest of eternity. I just get to the cackle at craziest fucking headlines that come out of the game piracy community because of this one person. This one insane fucking person Has this global community bent to their will and you can’t even complain about it because what are you gonna do? Go pay for things? Fuck that noise.
If it were in a movie I would say it’s overwritten. If I didn’t know how crazy people can seriously crazy I would think it’s performance art. It’s the rare perfect storm in modern day where everybody’s doing something wrong so you can point and laugh at the misery of all of the people involved.
but my lord, the lore!???
MKDEV literally dumped their info and process they used to crack FM and FIFA.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Apparently some mods were running keyloggers on the community.
What the fuck
This sort of shit has been going on in the warez community for decades. It’s why I don’t pirate software anymore - even Empress has a strong incentive to sell out.
Yeah, I also don’t pirate stuff. I’d rather use open source software anyways. And luckily the games I like deserve the money and I can afford to buy them
I know they said the mods were deleting posts about whatever it was but do you have a link to the discussion or proof?
Bare in mind what OP posted was from 4 months ago, but one of the mods mentions it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PiratedGames/comments/14qvyi3/some_controversy_going_on_at_this_sub/
They acknowledge changes were made, so I would take that as confirmation, but that whole group/sub kind of cringey. Posts do get deleted by mods but users also make a lot of claims without any evidence. I get that most of those people don’t have a technical background so its hard to find evidence, but that also maybe is a good reason to make a claim.
EDIT: When I wrote my original comment, I used “Apparently” and “Allegedly” synonymously. I understand if anyone wants to call me out on that, but doesn’t seem right changing what I wrote (seems like that would be covering).
I’d like to line with the “posts are getting deleted randomly” party. I mean the only thing not being deleted at this point is the memes, the cringe worthy memes. no discussions (unless very basic) or guides are flourishing on that subreddit anymore. and besides why stay on reddit in the first place if it is the reason they must act like this?
Keyloggers? On an internet forum? What for?
For logging keys, usually
of forum messages? No danger.
I’m out of the loop here, what’s this about?
Empress is considered the best Denuvo cracker in the world. Mostly because she’s the only one that is consistently successful.
There are two major trains of thought regarding her. The first: she’s a batshit crazy narcissist who is more toxic than a Kardashian-Jenner family dinner where Kanye and Pete Davidson show up unannounced. The second: she’s the goddess and the most wonderful woman on the planet and one day she’ll recognize my loyalty and I will have a place in her New World Order.
You forgot to mention the part where she is violently transphobic
Wait, violently?
deleted by creator
I see, hate speech.
She’s also definitely Russian, and we, Russians, believe that it’s a guy.
There’s no women on the Internet.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Empress is a group of two or more people. At least one to handle the “persona” of Empress and the rest to do the cracking. Artificial personas and obfuscated identities are Internet 101.
she’s providing games for free, who cares if she’s a narcissist.
You skipped past the batshit crazy part, eh? I would not trust any software she has touched, but you do you.
I’m still waiting for her rap album though, ngl it might slap.
What makes you think it’s a she
She’s told us lmao
wasn’t there some drama where some other cracker group exposed “her” as being some bulgarian dude?
Alright? She prefers she/her
They’ve aggressively stated they’re a cis woman and has found the implication of her being trans incredibly insulting.
Oh then because some stranger on the Internet tells you something, it’s probably true
You don’t need to use slurs to make your point.
Genuine question here, which words are slurs? Crazy narcissist?
I think that user may be referring to Empress herself, not the commenter.
As in, Empress doesn’t need to be using slurs to make her points.
Narcissist is a slur when it’s used in a derogatory sense by someone who does not have the disability. You can say “person with NPD”, or pwNPD for short, or you can avoid insulting someone by alleging mental disability in the first place.
Narcisism isn’t a disability, it’s a personality trait. Just like being selfless. It has nothing to do with disabilities.

Argue with this person who disagrees with you.
Narcissist is a real psychological term. It describes a pathology. Slurs aren’t words you don’t like to be called. You don’t get to make up what is and what isn’t a slur.
Using pathologies as insults is using a slur.
Shut the fuck up
Narcissism is generally seen as a negative trait so there already isn’t a non-derogatory way of calling someone a narcissist. Also, there is an acknowledged difference between being a narcissist and having NPD so as much as many here would probably say Empress has some kind of disorder, I bet very few have the credentials to diagnose which means it’s the former, and if we’re being completely honest, it’s a very practical word to describe a person’s behaviour. So I guess it has to be a “chill out, snowflake” moment for you.
All disabilities are seen as negative, but it’s not derogatory to call someone autistic, paraplegic, or blind, unless it’s a deliberate insult. I find your argument unconvincing.
I don’t really care if you find what I say convincing but to make this as simple as possible, name one time it’s considered good to be identified as narcissistic. And please let’s stay relevant and leave out physical disabilities. Only assholes insult the two you named.
Another place where this view falls short is that a person doesn’t need to have NPD to act like a narcissist on a regular basis, the same way a person can be volatile and not meet the criteria for BPD.
No, that’s not true. It’s not true because that’s not how we use disability language. Neurotypicals do not act autistic, and they don’t act ret**ded. Some people do use words that way, because those words are slurs. Likewise, when you insult someone by likening their behaviour to disability by calling them a narcissist, that’s a slur.
TIL Being an asshole is a disability
pwNPD are not assholes at any higher rate than the general population. What you’re describing is a stereotype about a disability.
You don’t get to decide what is a slur. Go away.
Of course I don’t get to decide what’s a slur. The people who use mental conditions as insults decide that.
It sure seems like you’re in here trying to enforce your personal opinion that the word people are using is a slur.
It’s not an opinion. Opinions are likes and dislikes, and subjectives with no evidence. This isn’t one of those. There is a clear definition, and clear evidence that it meets the definition. It’s a fact.
Care to provide any of that? Because so far all I have seen is your opinion, and a bunch of people disagreeing.
In 2023, ‘cuck’ is seemingly the greatest insult you can apply to a person.
Followed only by ‘poopyhead’.
Friar Cuck
Cuckleberry Finn
Cuck (character from A Midsummer Night’s Dream)
Cuck Hunter (excellent game included with original NES consoles)
This comment is gold.
Cookie Cuckold
While I think the world is enriched by people who get joy from their partners having crazy sex with others, cuckoo birds are a menace to all of aviankind, to the point that they other birds will hue and cry to chase them out of dodge.
