I'm out of the loop, what's the context for all this?

Empress is pretty much the only person who cracks Denuvo DRM - the only other person who publicly releases cracks only does it for Football Manager games. However, Empress is just a little unhinged, as this post demonstrates.

There was an r/HobbyDrama reddit post that covers much of the history: https://www.reddit.com/r/HobbyDrama/comments/rowk83/digital_piracy_the_rise_of_empress_how_one_woman/

I came to the comments to see if there really could be a person this deranged, and looks like she has a long history of this shit. What the fuck. Thanks for posting that link.
