I know they’re probably joking, but the Steam forums are so generally unhinged that I wouldn’t be surprised if this person is serious.
Steam is full of corporate bootlickers it’s unreal 💀
Could be a Denuvo shill?
or an astroturfer.
Satire senses tingling.
“and how can they say they pirates when have no boats???”
I’m more of a cracked Denuvo = no play kind of person because Empress is cooked & I don’t wanna feed their ego
I get the FitGirl repacks of Empress cracks because:
- Trans girl pirates are way cooler than transphobe pirates.
- Empress fucking hates it.
Plenty of people claim fitgirl is trans, but I don’t think she’s ever said she is herself
Huh. It would make sense that Empress completely made it up. Transphobes aren’t exactly smart, plenty have called cis women trans IRL before. I’ll be honest, I read this tweet and believed it: https://x.com/furmerly/status/1658138307769802752
my fave is when they e.g. tell a trans man “you’ll never be a woman!”, it must be so viciously validating to have someone who hates your existence be unable to tell that you were assigned a different gender at birth
had no clue that fitgirl wasnt cis lmao
Always figured it was just an online persona, not an actual individual person.
All her posts on her website are in first person. Would sure be a huge commitment to a bit. Also:
Tbh denuvo is so devious I think it just does that to your brain.

Who the hell is Empress? O.o
Person who cracked Denuvo. They seem pretty crazy.
Calling oneself Empress or Emperor usually does imply that, I guess
You need to be crazy to crack denuvo. It is a requirement because the software is also crazy.

“Piracy is not a service problem and can only be curbed by utilising SecuRom and denuvo drm. This also will make the game less compatible in the future so that people will also buy your remasters.”
Something along those lines it was?
I agree that you shouldn’t go pirating small indie titles because independent artists becoming more financially successful is the object of the exercise. But a triple-A title is free game to me.
“BuT THe DEVeLoplErs WoN"t GEt PaID” They weren’t getting paid before, it just steals from the billionaire CEO
The only games I’ve ever pirated are the ones that have denuvo DRM ironically, lol.
Games are cheap to buy if they are good and worthwhile.
It’s when the studios try and bait and switch us that I have a problem, or purposefully slow down and punish paying customers because they are disabled by the fear of a few pirates by adding worthless DRM.
I am certain there is not a single Denuvo game that the DRM actually caused them to make more money than simply launching without it…
People in the industry are being taken for a ride…
A triple-A game is only available and free to you because people like me pay for it.
If everyone acted like you, the AAA game industry wouldn’t exist.
I’m not trying to be disparaging, but no pirate should be proud of their theft.

But then why pirate the game?
If everyone acted like you, the AAA game industry wouldn’t exist.
Yeah and I want that to happen quite frankly. The triple a scene needs a major disruption.
That said I don’t trust a privileged executable from the high seas.
With the way they treat their workers? Good. I’m not talking about the quality of their work, I’m talking about the treatment of their labor.
I hope the AAA gaming industry collapses
Please do discontinue paying for AAA games. They are not only riddled with dark patterns antagonistic to their end users, but are made on the abuse and crunch of development teams overworked and underpaid.
We can only hope the AAA industry perishes and is suceeded by indie games or even FOSS game efforts.
If you must play them, pirate them with all the rant and roar you can, but better still, find better (if lower budgeted games) on the indie market. There are some pretty amazing titles that will scratch all your itches.
It really shouldn’t. Everything in it outside of Nintendo is a hot steaming pile of dogshit.
Beause some people really need their Star Wars or Harry Potter or whatever.
I was a Star Wars fan, but it all went downhill as Lucasarts died.
lol
Buying a game on steam gives you achievements cloud saves easier proton integration and the ability to play online
Also the ease of use, automatic game updates, and supporting game development.
DRM makes me not want to support the game development.
Sometimes id rather use a cracked version of a game even if i own it, just so i dont have to deal with ubisoft’s, and EA’s horrible launchers. Unless the game gets actively updated or has multiplayer.
One day these shitty developers will learn people are happy to pay if it’s convenient.
Most developers have figured it out, seems like just a few executives who don’t understand video games.
Slowly these people are retiring and the world is becoming a better place.
If I love a game enough, I am eager to support the devs. I also know that buying an AAA game doesn’t support the devs, it supports people like Bobby Kotick and Randy Pitchford.
So when it comes to AAA games, either I pirate the game, or…
… in more recent years, I don’t pirate the game.

It’s disgusting that Bobby Kotick still has a job.
As of today’s news, no longer at Acti-Blizz. Microsoft has given him to December to empty his desk.
He’s still a billionaire so we can continue to expect economic mayhem from him.
apology for poor english
when were you when denuvo is cracked?
i was sat at home eating smegma butter when pjotr ring
‘denuvo is crack’
‘no’
I would, without any hesitation, just like I would download more RAM
It’s a reference to a famous anti-piracy video.
Yep, always played before movies at theaters and my reaction was always the same. “Yes I fucking would.”
deleted by creator
If I could download a car, I absolutely would.
This was always a funny warning.
it’s only acceptable and morally right to get hogwarts legacy on the high seas
Imagine thinking Denovo worked…
Maybe a stupid boomer executive working at a game studio…
