      From what I gathered, she’s pretty much a genius at cracking

        Cracking Denuvo isn’t particularly hard as much as it is extremely tedious. Checks are baked everywhere in the game code, so there are (at least) thousands of little edits you have to make, and if only one of them was implemented wrong or hasn’t been located (this is gamecode, tied to in-game events), no more game. (This is a flawed explanation, but you get the deal)

        It’s enough to drive most crackers insane… hence EMPRESS.

          I only took 1 Reverse Engineering class in my CompSci program, so I could be wrong… but I am pretty sure it is both extremely tedious and also extremely difficult to crack Denuvo

      It is pretty entertaining though, isn’t it? Like, this is the closest we will ever get to the movie Hackers, but in real life.

        So basically this is:

        “mess with the best. Die like the [insert random offensive slur here]”

          I think you may need to add some more slur placeholders in there, but yes.

      Cracking Denuvo is hard as fuck!
      No matter how unhinged she is, she’s very talented.

      It doesn’t help that almost everyone good enough to crack it gets paid really well to improve it.

      Empress being a notable exception cos she’s insane
