    She’s such a narcissist that she couldn’t stay out of the spotlight. lol.

    Regardless; I doubt that any game she could develop would be any good; and I shudder to think of what deranged DRM scheme she will cook up to protect her own game. It’ll probably be worse than Denuvo, knowing how unstable she is.

    Genuinely, the scene is better without her hate filled screeds polluting the web. Her abilities might be appreciated more if she got some mental help and she could rejoin the scene as a positive force; not someone who lets their ego run rampant and spews hate at the slightest provocation.

    Unfortunately the scene is too cowardly to NUKE her output into obscurity until she cleans her spew up.

      Well, MMOs don’t really need DRM. They mostly just need anti-cheat. The server can check for legit ownership or not. Usually it’s only single-player games that get cracked.

          They can. It’s a lot harder and different though. It requires emulating the server software and replicating it. It won’t be the same servers as the main game, and also usually requires knowledge of something not provided with the game.

    As unhinged as her rants are, I find them enjoyable. Especially this post. Though I suppose this post is far milder than many of her previous works. 🤣

    I look towards the future with some hope.

      When it was just released on PC, I saw on Reddit that it probably won’t happen. Apparently Empress does not like anime games and therefore refuses to crack them.

      I, myself, have been secretly hoping for it as well though. Got the game on PS5 (ps4 version) and refuse to pay money again for the game (unless it gets a heavy-heavy sale for like 10 bucks or something).

      Man it was on sale for $20 on green man gaming a few weeks ago during the “sizzling sale”. Whenever steam has sales check them out IsThereAnyDeal as that’s how I found it. Atb that price, I gave up waiting and caved. I was even able to convert my PS4 save (jailbroken) to PC without losing any progress.

      I realize the group I’m in, but I wanted to let others know who are holding off potentially because of the price

        “It’s not about the money, it’s about sending a message”.

        I refuse Denuvo on principle, only buy worthy games when they remove it. But I think Atlus games never got Denuvo removed? Even after years. So it’s either it gets cracked and I play it, or it doesn’t and I won’t lose sleep over it lol

        Go into the notes of almost any of their releases and you’ll find borderline schizophrenic screeds full of hate and bigotry. Racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, thinking the Harry Potter series is good, all kinds of shit. Also, at least once she said she was going to jail because she was caught cracking something but kept putting out releases without any disruption. Here’s one from the time she was accused of being a trans woman (cw: all of the above)

        she pretended she got arrested by some guys on reddit who leaked her address

        some serious people ON REDDIT managed to report me to authority with my real address, i am not quiet sure how it happened, but even with putting my philosophical side aside, i think i pissed off the entire internet just by trying to control “MY” own crack for 24 hour is actually something i am still not able to believe. in less than an hour, i will be dragged out of my home here with my lawyer, but considering i was caught red handed while preparing version 2 fix for my immortals crack, i don’t think there will be much of hope against it at all.

        Her message to those who had insulted her was totally not at all bitter – she thought they were ‘all beautiful people’ who she definitely didn’t hate, because they had just made a mistake. This was all somewhat rich for a woman who was rapidly developing hints of megalomania and power-madness.

        And then she made an Obi-wan-esque speech about ‘remembering me’ and ‘contuing on my path’.

        Everyone was quick to point out the flaws here. The police generally don’t bust down your door, catching you ‘red-handed’ cracking Denuvo, then call you to tell you they’re going to arrest you in an hour, so you have time to write out a long and dramatic letter blaming others for your woes. —this write-up

          Literally everything she listed there except life/death has gradients. Like does she not realize that words like Day, Night, Hot, Cold, are all just terms humans applied to describe something? Has she not heard of cool, warm, dusk, dawn, twilight, noon, afternoon, evening, morning?

          -day/night, etc

          Once she pieces together that dusk and dawn are in there too she’ll figure out day should be mid-day and night should be mid-night. She’s right there to becoming history’s second timecuber. All she needs to do is take that step past duality, from two to four.

        It’s genuinely a lot. EMPRESS has an ego, and has started shit with anyone they can. This ranges from other crackers, to repackers, to the people requesting cracks. They see themselves as the hot shit because “I’m the only one who can crack Denuvo”.

      It is pretty entertaining though, isn’t it? Like, this is the closest we will ever get to the movie Hackers, but in real life.

      It doesn’t help that almost everyone good enough to crack it gets paid really well to improve it.

      Empress being a notable exception cos she’s insane

        Cracking Denuvo isn’t particularly hard as much as it is extremely tedious. Checks are baked everywhere in the game code, so there are (at least) thousands of little edits you have to make, and if only one of them was implemented wrong or hasn’t been located (this is gamecode, tied to in-game events), no more game. (This is a flawed explanation, but you get the deal)

        It’s enough to drive most crackers insane… hence EMPRESS.

          I only took 1 Reverse Engineering class in my CompSci program, so I could be wrong… but I am pretty sure it is both extremely tedious and also extremely difficult to crack Denuvo

      Cracking Denuvo is hard as fuck!
      No matter how unhinged she is, she’s very talented.
