I saw this tweet a while ago that was like "Piracy lore is crazy, there's only like 2 people who know how to crack Denuvo. One of them is a psychotic transphobe who speaks like a JRPG villain, and the other only cracks football games"
I'm paraphrasing, but honestly it's so accurate...
Edit: For anyone confused, here is a great writeup on the history of Denuvo cracking, and Empresses lunacy
Only two people willing to crack denuvo games. And publicise their cracks.
Usually talent like that leads to well paying jobs, well paying jobs usually lead to wanting to not go to prison.
That doesn't mean people don't have the skill, it means they're not willing to use it, when someone else is already taking the heat
Is it actually illegal to crack Denuvo?
Illegal? Probably not, so long as you were careful about not hosting any of their code/data
Would doing it publicly end with you getting buried in lawsuits? It might. Anyone can sue for any reason, and copyright holders love making examples of people
You have to be crazy to crack denuvo, and Empress fits the bill
Football manager uses a really old version of Denuvo too.
I'm fucking dead 😂
that was a great read, i recommend it to everyone who sees this post
Welp, that was a wild read. Thank you for sharing!
I actually LOLd at this
This was a fantastic read, thank you for sharing!
What a crazy fucking read. Thank you for posting that.
The other cracks football games? You mean like FIFA? Because I haven't seen any cracks of those..
Football manager.
And only football manager
absolute legend
who is this cracker? Asking for a friend...
I think they mean MKDEV.
I knew about Empress, of course, because how could I not? But I've not been in the game piracy community for years, and I had no idea she was this... Unstable.
Crab Juice
Mountain Dew
Football as in FIFA?
Football manager looks like
That was a fantastic read, thx!
That was one of the wildest things I read in a while
Holy smokes. Got sucked into that one. So is she still the only one that can crack Denuvo? You mentioned 2, is the other not very active or something?
Great read. Thanks 👍
Both are based in their own charming ways
Pretty insulting when you’re scared of something so normal that doesn’t affect you
It's very obvious ragebait, just don't respond, it's what they want.
