followed a megathread link from r/piratedgames
Please for the love of God someone else crack denuvo so we can cast Empress into the fiery furnace where there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
but my lord, the lore!???
MKDEV literally dumped their info and process they used to crack FM and FIFA.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Apparently some mods were running keyloggers on the community.
What the fuck
This sort of shit has been going on in the warez community for decades. It’s why I don’t pirate software anymore - even Empress has a strong incentive to sell out.
Yeah, I also don’t pirate stuff. I’d rather use open source software anyways. And luckily the games I like deserve the money and I can afford to buy them
I know they said the mods were deleting posts about whatever it was but do you have a link to the discussion or proof?
Bare in mind what OP posted was from 4 months ago, but one of the mods mentions it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PiratedGames/comments/14qvyi3/some_controversy_going_on_at_this_sub/
They acknowledge changes were made, so I would take that as confirmation, but that whole group/sub kind of cringey. Posts do get deleted by mods but users also make a lot of claims without any evidence. I get that most of those people don’t have a technical background so its hard to find evidence, but that also maybe is a good reason to make a claim.
I’d like to line with the “posts are getting deleted randomly” party. I mean the only thing not being deleted at this point is the memes, the cringe worthy memes. no discussions (unless very basic) or guides are flourishing on that subreddit anymore. and besides why stay on reddit in the first place if it is the reason they must act like this?
The tip toeing around stuff definitely does get tiring but I think some people just flock there because there’s a lot of people and Reddit still dominates search results
I mean why didn’t the mods migrate the sub here? like dbzer0 did here.
There could be a few reasons beyond what I already mentioned. A lot of people thought the blackout on Reddit was a trend or unnecessary and that wasn’t helped when Reddit forced a lot of subs to reopen.
I’m not sure though. I wonder if they have a post addressing it
Keyloggers? On an internet forum? What for?
For logging keys, usually
of forum messages? No danger.
In software posted there, not in the forum software itself.
In 2023, ‘cuck’ is seemingly the greatest insult you can apply to a person.
Followed only by ‘poopyhead’.
Friar Cuck
Cuckleberry Finn
Cuck (character from A Midsummer Night’s Dream)
Cuck Hunter (excellent game included with original NES consoles)
This comment is gold.

Outside of a kink context, its use is a pretty great indicator that the person using it is a hateful moron who thinks they’re"winning" if someone is “triggered.” Basically the online equivalent of a pair of truck nuts.
In that respect, I’m grateful for its prevalence as it saves me a lot of time/energy that would otherwise be spent dealing with assholes.
While I think the world is enriched by people who get joy from their partners having crazy sex with others, cuckoo birds are a menace to all of aviankind, to the point that they other birds will hue and cry to chase them out of dodge.
I’m out of the loop here, what’s this about?
Empress is considered the best Denuvo cracker in the world. Mostly because she’s the only one that is consistently successful.
There are two major trains of thought regarding her. The first: she’s a batshit crazy narcissist who is more toxic than a Kardashian-Jenner family dinner where Kanye and Pete Davidson show up unannounced. The second: she’s the goddess and the most wonderful woman on the planet and one day she’ll recognize my loyalty and I will have a place in her New World Order.
You forgot to mention the part where she is violently transphobic
Wait, violently?
deleted by creator
I see, hate speech.
Oh, I never read nfo files, so I never knew. ^^;
She tried to out Fitgirl as trans to encourage harassment of her. Trouble is nobody believed her, because nobody knows anything about Fitgirl and we don’t believe Empress does either.
She’s also definitely Russian, and we, Russians, believe that it’s a guy.
There’s no women on the Internet.
If she was a Russian guy she would have died in Ukraine.
What was it the rules of the internet again?
TITS or GTFO.
There’s also Girl = Guy In Real Life.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Empress is a group of two or more people. At least one to handle the “persona” of Empress and the rest to do the cracking. Artificial personas and obfuscated identities are Internet 101.
she’s providing games for free, who cares if she’s a narcissist.
You skipped past the batshit crazy part, eh? I would not trust any software she has touched, but you do you.
I’m still waiting for her rap album though, ngl it might slap.
What makes you think it’s a she
She’s told us lmao
Oh then because some stranger on the Internet tells you something, it’s probably true
wasn’t there some drama where some other cracker group exposed “her” as being some bulgarian dude?
dont put money into that “announcement”. they “exposed” her to be an old cracker who was in the scene many, many years ago. that person is to this day fighting a court case about their time in the scene. they’ve also written a post somewhere on the net talking about this and how hurt and confused they are to be dragged back into this mess. and the group that did the “exposing” has, as far as i have seen, not provided a single piece of evidence for their claims.
innocent until proven guilty. no one knows who empress is, so you may as well believe she is the woman she says to be.
Alright? She prefers she/her
They’ve aggressively stated they’re a cis woman and has found the implication of her being trans incredibly insulting.
I’m pretty sure it’s a group of people but I’ll still go with She cuz it’s easier and my theory is just a… theorumeum
I didn’t know it was that simple. I’m a she, now worship me.
Yes, gender identity is that simple. Watch this:
I’m a drone, use it/its pronouns for me
Is this the first time.you hear of preferred pronouns?
Preferred pronouns are not gender.
That’s just like your opinion. Also 100% your prerogative too, since you’re the first and only one to bring up gender in this discussion, as if it matters somehow.
You don’t need to use slurs to make your point.
Genuine question here, which words are slurs? Crazy narcissist?
I think that user may be referring to Empress herself, not the commenter.
As in, Empress doesn’t need to be using slurs to make her points.
Narcissist is a slur when it’s used in a derogatory sense by someone who does not have the disability. You can say “person with NPD”, or pwNPD for short, or you can avoid insulting someone by alleging mental disability in the first place.

One can be narcisistic without having a personality disorder. Just like one can be shy without being autistic. If you were diagnosed with a personality disorder, you simply have a “better reason” to act that way than when you’re just an ass.

You don’t get to decide what is a slur. Go away.
Of course I don’t get to decide what’s a slur. The people who use mental conditions as insults decide that.
It sure seems like you’re in here trying to enforce your personal opinion that the word people are using is a slur.
It’s not an opinion. Opinions are likes and dislikes, and subjectives with no evidence. This isn’t one of those. There is a clear definition, and clear evidence that it meets the definition. It’s a fact.
Care to provide any of that? Because so far all I have seen is your opinion, and a bunch of people disagreeing.
