Following Empress’ bullshit via Telegram screenshots is a fun experience. I like to think of it as the B-plot of digital piracy.

The world would be a much less interesting place if someone besides her was cracking Denuvo.
- InterSynth ( @InterSynth@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English107•1 month ago
True, but apparently you need to be insane to crack Denuvo.

Or are driven insane in the efforts of cracking Denuvo.

What the hell is Denuvo?

Copy protection software that is very hard to crack because it seems to be everywhere in the game binary so you have to meticulously go through the whole thing to weed it out.
It’s been known to slow games down because it’s called too often to check if your game copy is not pirated.
- Melody Fwygon ( @Melody@lemmy.one ) English74•1 month ago
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.
- driving_crooner ( @driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br ) English9•1 month ago
MMO’s get cracked too. Used to play Ragnarok Online in a pirate sever paying 0$.
- Cethin ( @Cethin@lemmy.zip ) English10•1 month ago
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.
- LiveLM ( @LiveLM@lemmy.zip ) English61•1 month ago
Op… She said she will return AFTER her MMO is ready and is going well.
That won’t happen. There’s no way it doesn’t get stuck in development hell. She’s never coming back. - SteveFromMySpace ( @SteveFromMySpace@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English32•1 month ago

Isn’t she also talking about a trans woman using masculine pronouns?
- apotheotic (she/her) ( @apotheotic@beehaw.org ) English9•1 month ago
She’s a massive transphobe.
Despite (to my understanding) being trans herself(probably not true, edited to remove)- Norah - She/They ( @princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English15•1 month ago
Okay hold up, I’m going to need a reference on her being trans herself. Because no, as far as I am aware, she is in fact just a transphobe.
- apotheotic (she/her) ( @apotheotic@beehaw.org ) English9•1 month ago
Honestly I don’t keep up with her drama all that much but when I was more in the loop I definitely recall people referencing the ‘fact’ she is trans.
Literally no source now though because its been years, so feel free to disregard it as baseless.
Edit: Honestly, thinking about it now, that might have been some misogynists who just couldn’t accept that a cisgender woman could be talented enough at computer related stuff to crack denuvo. So I’m gonna erase “empress is trans” from my brain.
- Norah - She/They ( @princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English10•1 month ago
Are you thinking of fitgirl? She’s notoriously been a target for hate from Empress, who I think may have accused her of being trans at one point? Though like, as a trans girl myself, I can see her being trans just from this webpage: https://fitgirl-repacks.site/games-with-my-personal-pink-paw-award/
Edit: both because of the page itself, but also there’s a bunch of stuff with queer themes in that list. A couple of non-binary protags and a few sapphic romances.
- apotheotic (she/her) ( @apotheotic@beehaw.org ) English3•1 month ago
No it was definitely empress being discussed at the time, but I could definitely see fitgirl being trans, as a fellow trans girl!
- communism ( @communism@lemmy.ml ) English4•1 month ago
I’ve seen people accusing her of being a trans woman before, which obviously she has always responded to with transphobia and denial. I see no reason to believe her to be trans unless you have evidence
- apotheotic (she/her) ( @apotheotic@beehaw.org ) English4•1 month ago
Yeah, I was in the process of editing my comments when you commented. Hope the edits are suitable, communism.

The only thing I was even looking for being cracked was Lies of P but then the devs themselves removed it from the game and also put the game on sale for super cheap so I just bought it anyway 🤷🏻♂️

Fitgirl is a repacker. She doesn’t crack; she’s just a compression nerd.

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
- BillionsMustSeed ( @BillionsMustSeed@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English2•1 month ago
“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
- InfiniteGlitch ( @ModernRisk@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English5•1 month ago
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).
