  • I miss mostly anonymous people cracking games without running around screaming from the rafters about gremlins in their modems stealing their breakfast bars. I can't believe most if not all Denuvo releases are now only cracked by this person.

    • shit, what happens when she kicks the bucket? maybe someone else will emerge but it's been so long already, and they haven't, so it could take years and years

      • Demand is what causes Supply. Somewhere out there is someone with the skill to crack Denuvo, but no need to, because this lunatic is already doing it. And being the competition means being on empress' radar, which is really something a sane person would not want.

        • That's wishful thinking.

          She can only crack so many games, so the demand for the other games already stays without supply.

          The scene was much bigger before denuvo, the supply obviously went down independently of the demand.

          Also the demand/supply argument only makes sense where there is payment. There are starving people in the world who's demand is not met bc the can't pay while there are millions of facelifts administered to people who will pay large sums.

          Denuvo has succeeded in imposing such a huge threshold onto cracking that from the talented people only the most driven stayed in the game. With no money in it you need to be driven by something else, usually ego. Even if there is a successor to empress chances are that is true for them as well.

          • I should be clear that I don't think supply and demand are immovable levers by which the world economy does or should work. I also don't believe there's only one person with the ability to do this. If they stop, I'm left to assume one of the eight billion people on this rock with the time and talent and resources to do this will.

            And if they don't then I'm just going to have to deal with it because this is internet piracy, my dude. But there's no world in which I'm going to defend what empress does as a vital public service. I think I would prefer that they stop and get help, but I don't expect that to happen.

        • Nobody should be afraid of her insane ranting; she's pathetic and could use some competition to refocus her ego.

      • We wait until Denuvo gets patched out of a game. There are so many games to play, you can survive without playing Denuvo protected ones.
