    as a Bulgarian seeing something like Voksi is actually wild. In Bulgaria police rarely gives a flying f for the people breaking the laws. "Some dude hit a kid with his car? Who cares! ". And seeing that they ACTUALLY did something about a CYBER criminalist IS WILD. Most Bulgarians can't even turn the PC on. Too much for my Balkan head.

    That’s because American companies don’t do price region RIGHT! Tons of indie devs do ACTUALLY price there games properly, like lets say a indie game cost 10 USD in UsA. But in Mexico, that same game would cost 2 usd or less. That’s how indie devs price region, steam LEGIT makes it super easy for people to do that, but they don’t, cooperations DONT care. They don’t care if you make less than a first world country. They want you to spend your WHOLE paycheck on a single mid aaa game….. CRAZY thing is, indie devs make a ton of money in third world countries. I’m not joking, there number one sold places are in those countries. If devs don’t want there games to be pirated, FIX YOUR DAMN PRICES IN THOSE COUNTRIES

    i think that how empress saw how much praise the pirating community gave her, it made her think she was on the path of godhood, thus making her ego and psychicologies into insane mesurements, she spent hours sitting at her desk writing code + pleasing the pirating community, and that what i think, slowly fried her brain into madness, but she is a double sided sword, a light too the pirating community, but also a downfall too the pirating community, she got heavily blinded by ego, but that ego also is what made her stride into further complex and harder games to crack, but thats my opinion on this story, all i hope is that she gets too her senses again but on the other side i wont give 2 flying fucks if she demands more money for pirating games, if thats the fate, then she is going to be banished by the pirating community, untill then we would find another person too pirate denuvo games, but who knows how long it would take, for another empress too rise among us pirate's. Other then that she has 2 paths, the path of redemption or a path of greed and lust.

    I have nothing against the idea of paying her. People can pool in a few dollars each and actually support her work. People like Fitgirl could even try to use a 0.00001% of their donor funds and get access to Empress releases earlier (and boost her own release). This is a community effort that can flourish without player entitlement. Even pirates didn’t work for ‘free’. A few dollars just to support her and still release the game for free for those who can’t afford it is a good deal.

    You can, non-US countries have different rules about piracy and most have none at all. This is what happened to The Piratebay, they had a hard time putting them in jail because IT IS NOT U.S. and the laws work differently in their land. You can get out and still walk the streets after getting your ass arrested but you still need to defend yourself in court to whatever they decided you're breaking into. The only difference is that The Piratebay didn't host, distribute, or sell any copyrighted materials.

Remember GTA4 implementing several anti-piracy measures. Only for a clean cracked version to release the same day the game launched.

    Their being mad is really hard to justify or explain. Are they mad because the company they like is not getting that extra money? Hardly. They wouldn't get that money either way, as these people would simply not buy and play their games anyway due to financial situation. Are they mad because it is theft and therefore it's immoral? Hardly. Theft results in taking posession of someone's property. Piracy is cloning someone's property. The one being "robbed" (sarcasm) isn't even aware of it unless he actively seeks out online gossip and persecutes pirates. Therefore, equating piracy with theft is a delibarately ignorant thought process. Are they mad because these companies won't earn enough to make their favourite product better? These companies are billionaire giants, pirates hardly affect their business decision making and budgets. They are milking people harder each year because they feel like they can - and they are correct. The simple explanation is, it's just envy. Most humans are really pathetic, toxic creatures. They had to pay for the game and now feel they were cheated because some people managed to get it for free through piracy. Their "moralist" rants are just a facade for their jaundiced sense of what they perceive to be a social injustice. Every single person that goes on these "piracy bad" rants is just completely full of crap and I really pity their absolute non-existent levels of self-respect.

RDR2 for example, it took like couple years to be cracked. not only that, it's not the latest version. (as of now.) and we still don't know if it's going to be a "live service" game or not. if it is, good luck trying to crack it. look at recent COD titles for example. last time I've heard about it, which is last year, someone's trying to crack the first MW reboot game, but it's not stable yet.

Since they charge in ARS or TL and as such its much cheaper. 60 dollar games can be as cheap as 10 dollars. 20 dollar games ? 1 dollar. Not all games are like this but most of them are. Steam worked against this by automatically changing account if you pay in euros/usd etc but you go around this by buying keys/skins of websites like dmarket. You then transfer the items from the website to your account and sell them on the market for ARS or TL. You lose a bit of your investment but you still have very cheap games that can be played on whatever server you like. [Not restricted to argentina for example] Or you can use virtual payments to simulate you are from argentina. Hundreds of guides online. Either way I hope I helped ya have almost free games. Cheers

    I grew up with cracked games and software thanks to some family members. Then met with steam and how low some of the prices were during sales. But for the past couple of years, Turkish economy is dying. 1 USD went from 18 to 26 TLY in just a year. Valve and other companies kept their prices same however until 2022 and 2023. Games that were 100-200 TLY went up to 500-600, then to 1500-2000 TLY in months. Long story short, right now in Turkey you either have a quite full steam library, come from a rich family or piracy.

    Watching this video and see how this unfolds step by step, she clearly outsmarts most of the people. The controversies, being a god, hating males, insulting India, offend the scene, argue with Fitgirl as an adversary all leads to the same goal, think about it. That being said, all hail to the EMPRESS 😀

    @@carlosperezit I was talking about the leadership. His advisors and scientists weren't the ones to influence the entire nation. Collection and utilisation of those people in just a few years under the nose takes real leadership and influential skills. He would have been one of the best leaders if not for being an absolute scum of a person. See? That's where it matters. Everyone will remember the empress as a scum with no respect in the future. It doesn't matter what her skills are. She can be a god too. Nobody cares about that. And I will go ahead and say it. Your personality and morals are as important as your skills. Being remembered just for the work you did with no respect is worse than being invisible. Also, for Napoleon. Who wasn't racist in that era?

    I didn't believe it was actually a woman until the India stuff, that is a kind of gripe that only a woman would have because she's framing it in the context of the men in particular and yeah a lot of the guys from there are very abrasive in their approaches to women and so a lot of women have a big problem with them, i have no doubt that's the problem she had with them and that is what makes me really believe this isn't a troll cosplaying but it's an actual woman. I do not however believe she got arrested, i think that's a lie and that she said that to generate sympathy for herself, if someone as prolific as her who takes monetary payments on top were caught red-handed there is no way she'd get out of that, even less likely that she'd keep doing it because her identity would become known to international law enforcement and regardless of what your country thinks, if the USA's law enforcement knows who you are and wants you arrested, you will be arrested and extradited to the USA for trial

    I think the main issue is that if she does it, everyone should. If so, piracy will no longer be a bunch of games for free, it will be specific ones that are the most popular and get crackers money. 500 USD isn't that bad considering how few Denuvo games there are and how many pirates there are. If someone can't buy a 60 USD game but can buy a 5 USD one, they can spend that on the donation pool instead. The benefit is that the game is offline, can be compressed proper and will live on safer than the enabled version. Problem is that when the game gets an update, it isn't cracked and you get stuck in time with the old until I guess Empress finds enough new stuff to take a request for cracking the newer build. Fortunately many enabled games have Denuvo taken out a year or two later...For publishers it probably doesn't matter as the first few weeks are the most important.

    That's the issue though. Nobody's saying "oh if you ask for donations for your pirated games you're just as bad as EA/Ubisoft/Whatever. Fitgirl and many of the cracking scene ask for donations as well. The problem arises when she intentionally locks games behind a paywall. I'd rather watch no commentary gameplay than pay for games I don't wanna/can't pay for.

    Starting a website doesn't really strike me as something that requires a great depth of technical skill... the cause is noble of course, just saying. Truth is, 99% of people in the most "hardcore" technical IT jobs (security hacking, low level programming, reverse engineering etc.) are men, whatever the reason for that may be. So it's kind of logical to assume that someone of an unknown gender possessing that skillset is a man.
