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

    isn’t it only Empress at this point, which is the entire reason why she is tolerated?

        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

          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.

              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…

              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.

            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.

    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’m pretty sure MKDEV, who is one person, quit cracking earlier this year.

    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.

        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.

    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.

    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.

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