I am editing a page on a wiki, and I don’t want to accidentally publish misinformation.

I know of empress, but is there anyone else releasing cracked Denuvo games?

RIP CODEX

Edit: Denuvo not Denvuo

        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

            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.

            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.

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

              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.

              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…

                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.

                  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.

                  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 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.

    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.

    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

    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.

      MKDEV cracked Football Manager 2023 and FIFA 23 and even infodumped his workflow. Sadly, nobody seems to have picked up his place.

    I believe there’s one that only cracks football games. I’m not too deep into the crack universe though
