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

I dig their cracks but i don't follow the drama. Care to offer a primer on the soap opera?
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)
they always have such a unique way of communicating over text
Damn, i had no idea she was this off her rocker.
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
empress good cracker
emperess get big head
empress thinks shes plato reincarnate
she is not
empress mad she isnt seen as brilliant as she feels
empress gets banned from reddit
empress drip feeds latest crack out of spite
empress hates repackers for taking attention she deserves
repackers turn their backs on her
empress is """""""raided""""""" by police
empress is miraculously freed the next day
also went on a weird ass transphobic rant in one of her nfos
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".
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.
The world would be a much less interesting place if someone besides her was cracking Denuvo.
True, but apparently you need to be insane to crack Denuvo.
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.
Empress is making an MMO? Lol
100% science-based dragon MMO
To this day I still don’t understand what “100% dragon” means.
Is it like they’re pure breads? Are there literally no other animals? Is it some sort of 90’s style emphatic like “maximum overdrive 100% turbo dragon”?
I'm still stuck on "science-based"
I mean I “get it” I think? It’s like trying to make a science-based time travel movie. You operate with strict rules and try to keep grounded in our current reality where possible. Some theoretical concepts at least feel more “realistic” than others.
Game of Thrones tried to be somewhat grounded compared to say, Warcraft which is very high fantasy with a lot less basis in reality.
Aged like wine
I can't wait until it's revealed to be a worse version of Active Worlds filled to the brim with their insane ramblings.
It's anyone taking bets on if she's going to use denuvo?
I legit don't even know what's even worth playing/cracking these days. It feels like a gaming drought rn
ahh i guess there will be more unhinged fetish-fueled slur filled screeds
Man,I understand why only like 2 complete lunatics are still willing to crack denuvo
But why must it be so
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 🤷🏻♂️
Oh is it happening again? FFS. What war? Who are fighting in this war? Empress vs. ?
whatever shreds of sanity she may or may not have left
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.
Well that's not unhinged at all...
Empress is my problematic fave.
