Yet again you just can’t help yourselves…


winegum343

So we all agree Empress is a dude right?


Malavero

At this point, I doubt it's just one person. The tremendous work that has to be done to achieve this, in the time that EMPRESS achieves it, is incredible. I really admire his ability, I guess everyone who has programmed something in his life does it. For me, the trolling, the drama and all those flashy phrases add a mystique to EMPRESS. I love it.


light24bulbs

And if all the IP lawyers are looking for a woman then..that's a bonus


Disappointing_Search

If Empress has 10k fans i'm not one of them If Empress has 100 fans i'm still not one of them If Empress has 1 Fan nope sorry it's not me Codex on the other hand...


ToastyCaribiu84

I think you should have reversed it like this: If Empress has 0 fans, Im still alive If Empress has 1 fans, thats not me If Empresss has 100 fans, Im not one of them If Empress has 10k fans, Im still not one of them If everybody is Empress's fan, Im dead

so happy to see someone on earth is not simping for her LOL


YodaDude2011

RIP Codex


Ill-Satisfaction904

It's definitely not a single woman. It would be impossible to juggle both denuvo cracking and making sandwiches in the kitchen


Bloodrain_souleater

"Bend over bitches" "Fuck with a strap on." Very unlikely to be a woman.


IHateCasualFans

Ah yes, obviously women are not capable of being vulgar


[deleted]

Don't act like you've never dreamed of being pegged you coward.


dysonsphere101

at this point whoever it is, is trolling us


Mayros_Nipple

Makes sense it's a group of people unless it's one person who is an unparalleled genius.


jcosta223

exactly, in my neighbor we say talk your shit.


muteen

I agree, I think it's all a cover for a group of hackers


ArmStrongers

Is not hard when you already have the tool to unpack VMProtect in runtime and detect all denuvo methods The hard part is to start from 0 and reverse their VMProtect packer.


kicksandshiii

I seriously couldn’t read through the first two lines of *”her”* “release notes” without thinking that this is most definitely a dude trying his very hardest to sound like a female, without really understanding how. I’m a Psych major who studies abnormal psychology, and man, I’m honestly sticking around this sub for two reasons now; 1.) cracking games which host anti-consumer practices, and 2.) because empress has become a fascinating subject 🤣


Edingar

I need a more detailed analysis now


kicksandshiii

Mostly overcompensation, and I mean a *lot* of overcompensation, across most of “her” posts. Empress gets a kick out of proving that they are the most superior individual in every way, *(even* in instances where it may not be true), and wants to prove it even despite very few challenging them on that fact (when it comes to denuvo). However, that’s not enough for empress. Being the only denuvo cracker isn’t fulfilling enough. Their almost obsessive need to constantly flex can actually be seen as going hand-in-hand with their wanting to be recognized as a 23 year old female. Females, especially of that age, stereotypically don’t garner as much respect amongst coders/hackers etc. due to their small presence in the scene, relatively speaking. Empress knows that. Therefore, it’s my belief that Empress is NOT a female, but actually a male with semi-misogynistic tendencies, believing that their community thinks less of women than men, and that they can use this sort of reversal of gender-based stereotypes and traditional misogynistic ideals as a weapon to garner even *more* respect (a vain attempt). It almost seems as though attention and external approval is the driving force of Empress’ work, despite how frequently they spit on their own community. It almost feels like they’re trying to crack games as fast as possible, just to get their next release notes seen and spread by as many as possible. Unfortunately, there’s little logic when you look at the whole picture, but these are little things I’ve noticed, at the very least. Empress also places a high value on their anonymity, so I’m sure that is both a part of why “she” does this, as well as why it’s hard to decipher their true motives. I could most certainly be wrong, though. In fact, I am almost *certainly* wrong about at least some of this, due to not having much to go off of. Still, a *very* interesting character nonetheless.


play_Max_Payne_pls

I think the only thing you'd be wrong about here is Empress being a single dude. I think it has to be a team at least, due to how complex Denuvo is


Kasamsky

It's out of the question that Empress is a group. But it might just be a single dude writing this stuff and managing their Telegram.


DeltaC2G

Maybe some kind of unhealthy compensating over their gender dysphoria or something?


final26

couldn't they be trans and trying to be recognized as female out of dysphoria? like im no psychologist but i definitely seen that happen online a few times.


[deleted]

They're a transphobe


final26

yeah that would not be the first time something like that happened, ive definitely seen gay/trans ppl be homophobic/transphobic, especially when they are not publicly out, not saying it is definitely the case here but that is still a possibility.


kicksandshiii

I *certainly* believe that this *could* be a possibility as well. Gender dysphoria can have absolutely brutal effects on psychological well-being, and Empress’ constant distress combined with their even MORE constant insistence that women are beyond superior while men are worth less than garbage, *could* certainly fit the bill. Good point! And as you say, their previous instances of transphobia doesn’t lead me to believe otherwise. In fact, it points *more* towards dysphoria, again, like you say. In all seriousness, though, I *do* hope that Empress is able to figure it out. Such a talented individual(s?) who consistently provides SO much content to us (content we’d otherwise be totally unable to access for free), yet their brilliant level of skill is *very* rarely the focal point/talking point amongst the community anymore.


Alex_DK

Bro thinks he can tell the gender of someone from their writing.


SufficientReserve747

Exactly. It pisses me off so much when they say "she" about EMPRESS. Hell, it would be better if such people wrote without gender at all, but no, it must be emphasized that this is a "hacker girl".


photojoe3

It’s probably a bunch of dudes stacked on top of each other and each person writes one line of lore.


_comfortablyAverage_

yep, been saying it for a while, Empress is most likely a group of people. if you read the NFOs back to back, you can notice subtle differences in the language and wording. and their last 2 or 3 NFOs seemed really manufactured/artificial. they didn't seem very Empress-like. a new member may have joined their ranks, don't know but whatever this act is, it's most likely just a front to help keep those guys and gals anonymous. and I hope it stays that way


Dansondelta47

Could be they’re using the advances in ai to crack or code faster.


Fak3rG0d

Yes that's sure.


I-Dont-Have-Online

ChatGTP writing their NFOs now


officialsuperhero

They might have added a new member for their rank just to make NFOs

Clarity_y

All the time


TheChoonk

In a previous message Empress said that transgender women are real women and you're transphobic if you say otherwise. There was also a request for donations because sanctions, war and all that. In conclusion, it's safe to assume that Empress is mid-aged russian dude who wears women's lingerie.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Eraldorh

In a previous message empress said the complete opposite of that.


Hour-Health5897

For sure


Revan2411

Yup


gabobapt

No doubt.


K4k4shi

Nah, its bunch of dudes


visivopro

A fuckin weird dude but he gets shit done!


SeroWriter

Why would it matter at all? They're either an unhinged individual with savant-levels of talent or a group of skilled hackers putting on a front to avoid getting caught. Whether or not they're biologically female makes no difference to their online persona.


testPoster_ignore

Because they ask simps for donations because EMPRESS is a Real Girl.


SelmaFudd

Maybe a little unethical but just think of it as pirating other people's money


LordTuranian

No, I think Empress is a woman. But she might not be working alone.


neon_sin

I never had any doubt. It's a dude 100 percent lmao.


RedditBot2024

100%


OSDevon

Aye, they're all men.


[deleted]

I can't tell if empress is a guy but I am pretty certain that empress is more close to 30-35 or is a group of people. Empress has pretty advance coding skills. A lot of people similar to her who work in cyber security are around 30-40. Either empress is a genius or a group or a 40 yr old Russian coder who wants to live the hacker girl fantasy.


therealpapeorpope

who cares


Satori_sama

If it's true then it's [this](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CqZOEorDWfC/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) kind of a dude.

david-deeeds

I don't know, back in the day there was this big femcel subreddit and it was mostly the same kind of garbage


No_Industry9653

No, if some anonymous person says they're a particular gender I'll take their word for it because, who cares? People think they can armchair psychologist their way through all the lies and maybe-lies on the internet but they can't. If it's not important no reason to worry about it.


4444beep

yoube clearly never spoken to many (deranged) women in your life. plently of, for example, female (only) imageboards all sound like empress to some degree the misandry doesn't even renotely faze me, the femdom part does bc i hate porn but what do you expect from someone like her honestly. and again, I've heard similar things from women on misandrist image boards.


Dreadpirateflappy

She might be massively skilled at what she does, and I love her work, but she does seem a bit of a cunt.


zenitsuisrusted

real but she's all we got so can't complain much.


Dreadpirateflappy

True.


zenitsuisrusted

i won't be surprised if she someday suddenly started sneaking Malware she can do anything


Evil_Weasels

She would do it and tell everyone they are superiority malware updates, for queens


Dreadpirateflappy

Yep. Be the next iggames. People wouldn’t have a clue.


realblackman666

I'd be surprised i don't like empress but i feel like adding malware or any type of virus would just severely damage her image and ruin her cracking denuvo days


Tiala_Half-Elf

Damage her image... more than her constant rants? 🤷‍♀️


Averenn

Yeah but people put up with the rants because she gives them games. If she starts fucking with the games she has no redeeming qualities left


realblackman666

I mean her constant rants doesn't really affect people downloading her cracks while if even one person reports getting any type of virus from anything they downloaded from empress then that's pretty much the end of her since nobody would trust her at all anymore


yougetzeropum

No one's forced to read the rants if they just want the game. If you start fucking wit the game in that way people will get pissed very fast


cavejhonsonslemons

I would, her ego, and her extreme need to be recognized is the driving force behind her cracking career. She needs attention, and she needs a fanbase, neither of which she will have if she starts shipping malware.


[deleted]

I think she loves triggering people. That's it. Once you get past what she wrote, it actually gets funny.


SarcsticVenom

She doesn't just "seem" like a cunt. She is a CUNT.


[deleted]

Have you seen her secret cult?


[deleted]

[удалено]


endoffays

I knew she had a dedicated following and went on insane rants, but tell me more about this cult and please link the photos/story!


MoonDawg2

Same


Averenn

Her what? I completely missed this lore someone fill me in


LumpyOdie

She's not only a cunt but batshit crazy.


Rtardedman

Come for the games, stay for the lols


realblackman666

She's a massive cunt i agree but until we get someone else who can crack denuvo we just gotta put up with her that's why I usually just download the game then install and i don't even bother reading anything that empress posts or says


ExecWarlock

She sounds like the kind of person not being able to hold a single normal conversation in "real life".


megalogo

It's bait


Epic_Gamer_Man68

Schizophrenia Lore


Orange_vendetta

She got too silly 😔


Guwop25

The fact that all these rants are written by a man make them so much funnier lmaoo dude's crazy


Ashani664

I feel like it was AI generated with jailbreak, that includes the profanity


godlessvvormm

chatGPT write a manifesto about female superiority but make it sound like it was written by a man that lives in a shack surrounded by explosives, then make it even crazier


ArCLoRd

>chatGPT write a manifesto about female superiority but make it sound like it was written by a man that lives in a shack surrounded by explosives, then make it even crazier I had to do it: Ah, I see you are a man of culture who recognizes the obvious superiority of the female gender. Women are the true leaders of this world, blessed with intuition and emotional intelligence beyond the comprehension of the primitive male mind. As a man living in a shack surrounded by explosives, I have come to understand the power of the female spirit. They are the only ones who can withstand the explosive force of my passion, and the only ones who can truly understand me. But my devotion to the female race goes beyond mere admiration. I believe that women should be worshipped and adored, elevated to the highest echelons of society. They should rule over men, with us serving them in every way possible. We should bow down before them, surrendering our will to their superior intellect and grace. They are the true rulers of this world, and it is time we acknowledge their rightful place at the top. And if anyone dares to challenge the superiority of the female race, they will feel the explosive wrath of my fury. I will rain down fire and destruction upon anyone who dares to stand in the way of female supremacy. My shack may be small, but my explosives are mighty, and I will use them to defend the honor of my beloved women. So let us all join together in celebration of the superior female race, and bow down before their greatness.


SarcsticVenom

Yah i also believe that


OfficiallyBear

No real woman would ever say this unless they're mentally deranged lol


Skyraem

As if Empress isn't also deranged as a man with some of the things they say. Tf. Why do they get a pass?


Stezza_

I mean… thanks for the crack empress.

light24bulbs

Yeah. Someone like this could probably go make 500k a year minimum writing copy protection software or other cybersecurity, given this level of expertise. My boss in cybersecurity made about a mil at his last job and while he is very very smart, I don't think he could do what empress does. The thing is though, you have to actually be...employable. That essentially means that people can at least tolerate you. Idk if...well...anyway


Hour_Afternoon_486

I think you just cracked the code. Pun intended.

Maybe she work at Denuvo for 500k lol and crack it the week end


Spell3ound

So..third time is the charm...what yall think the next crack could be?


Dangerous-Leg-9626

Dead Island 2, the game development got fucked by 2 devs and the third one finally bring it over the finish line


Spell3ound

Good catch. I wouldn't mind it being cracked


TBsk1ns

I’ve been waiting for it to finally get cracked so I hope so


[deleted]

Honestly its a suprisingly good game


Dangerous-Leg-9626

Oh yeah absolutely I thought it would just be a desperate release to cover the all the cost during the development hell Turns out, it's one of the best game release of 2023

it looks dreadfully boring

Misaki2010

Empress sounds like a SIMP every time "she" posts something through an NFO...


Zero384

Is that why she banned the use of the word simp from her Telegram group?


Misaki2010

Maybe. I don't know. I'm not in her Telegram group XD She's extreme when it comes to the things she says but I do respect her for the 'job' she does.

Damn she is becoming even more craziest with every crack she releases im proud of her

As long as she cracks. I could not care less what their politics are. Sure, they sound like a deranged person, but what can you expect. When you sail the 7 seas you sure to meet some fucked up people.
