What will the community do then? Carry on. There's always a new hotshot waiting in the wings. This cycle has been going on since before I was born and it'll continue long after I'm dead. There will always be new cats and new mice in the scene.

Since only one person is doing it right now, I'm not sure that it's so certain that there will be other people who will want to do this. Even if someone new shows up, how many years will it take them to learn all of this? There is no reason to be ok with this secrecy. It only hurts the community.

I'm not "okay with it". Empress is a psycho the scene would be better without, but when they're gone, it doesn't all just burn down. There'll be someone else. There always is.

I admire your optimism. To me it seems like the situation is getting worse. Corporations invented a DRM that's difficult to crack in order to make pirates less effective and they succeeded.
