Pretty sure it’s only Empress. On another note, I would not believe the Empress story if I hadn’t been around long enough to actually watch everything play out in real time.
I saw that on her telegram but wasn’t sure how serious she was about it. I guess we won’t be seeing any denuvo infections get cured any time in the near future cause god knows that shitheap is going to need plenty of attention.
If I recall correctly, CODEX’s Denuvo cracker was Empress anyway, so it has been just her for a long while now. There have been one or two cracks by other people for games using ancient versions of Denuvo that nobody bothered to crack before, but she’s the only one doing anything with Denuvo’s current version.
There is a crack team called MKDEV that targets Football Manager series which uses a slightly weaker version of Denuvo. They didn’t crack the 2024 series so far, but chances are they will sometime soon.
At no point did I dispute the accusations, I simply asked out of curiosity why people say Empress is crazy.
As for why I referred to her as they, I honestly didn’t notice that I did. I typically use gender neutral terms when referring to people simply out of habit.
That kinda makes it sound like she is either nonbinary or a group of people tbh. Not here to rant on it or anything, but I also misunderstood it.
I prefer just using the name if I’m unsure, otherwise it really gets confusing for most people whose native language is not English. We have to find a middle ground between accessibility and respect to the individual imo.
Doesn’t make it less confusing, because basically noone uses and teaches it like that. But hey if you think it’s practical you do you. I just think it isn’t, which is probably also why it vanished. I’m happy it hasn’t been a trend in the german gendering style.
They/them is gender neutral. People literally use it to avoid offending people by accidentally misgendering.
It’s not like they went out of their way to say he or “they” to try and trigger people. She’s also not here stating her “wish”.
With all the actual assholes out there it’s ignorant as fuck to be so reactionary on someone else’s behalf when the person you’re attacking is likely on the same side as you.
I’m sure there’d be no reaction at all if you called them they. Feel free to watch I guess since I did it.
she clearly stated her wish when she chose her nickname.

i am not attacking anyone. i merely laughed at the absurdity of virtue signaling and at the same time doing the exact opposite of what you are trying to signal. it could have ended there, but you decided to die on this weird hill.

oh my god, such sick burn! no one immediately rushed to complain about whatever you did in an obscure corner of the internet? well that absolutely validates your position, because that is exactly how it works. 😂

There are two, Empress and I can’t remember the other name, the other person/group just does Football Manager games running older versions of Denvuo
I believe youre talking about MKDEV, but someone else in this thread said they quit earlier this year :/
Yes MKDev (also called MenuDev by some) cracked FIFA 23 before exiting the cracking scene this year.

Is there a documented history or tl;dr I could check out to catch up?
[EDIT] nvm, conversation one comment thread down linked to this: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/EMPRESS
I believe there’s one that only cracks football games. I’m not too deep into the crack universe though
I have little doubt someone will lay into me for saying this but is even Empress bothering anymore? I haven’t seen anything from her in months.
Apperently she is busy modding starfield, she said that in an nfo
Great. She’ll be busy fixing that turd for at least 5 years. 😩

MKDEV cracked Football Manager 2023 and FIFA 23 and even infodumped his workflow. Sadly, nobody seems to have picked up his place.
Any links to this? I’d be interested in seeing how it is done
It’s on his discord server.

I’m pretty sure MKDEV, who is one person, quit cracking earlier this year.
Oh damn, that’a sad loss
Pretty sure it’s just Empress lol
isn’t it only Empress at this point, which is the entire reason why she is tolerated?
I tolerate her because she’s fuckin hilarious.
Yup, just the nutter doing it.
I feel like I’m missing something here
Why do people say they’re crazy?
For context I have no idea who this “Empress” is
Transphobe who talks like a JRPG villain. Here’s a rationalwiki article about her.
Ah that explains a lot and they do sound pretty unhinged
Thanks for the link
so why do you dispute the fact she is crazy? 😂 and why do you call her “they”? the word “empress” is pretty gender-clear.

“they” is fine to use for any individual or group as a catch-all.

They is proper grammar for a singular person. Has been for a long, long time.
I just learned this few months ago, so even if its been a long time, many people dont know about it, id say this 1 year ago too

so, your decision how to call someone is more important than the person’s wish? really?
imagine that riot if it were the other way around…
