She's such a narcissist that she couldn't stay out of the spotlight. lol.

Regardless; I doubt that any game she could develop would be any good; and I shudder to think of what deranged DRM scheme she will cook up to protect her own game. It'll probably be worse than Denuvo, knowing how unstable she is.

Genuinely, the scene is better without her hate filled screeds polluting the web. Her abilities might be appreciated more if she got some mental help and she could rejoin the scene as a positive force; not someone who lets their ego run rampant and spews hate at the slightest provocation.

Unfortunately the scene is too cowardly to NUKE her output into obscurity until she cleans her spew up.

Well, MMOs don't really need DRM. They mostly just need anti-cheat. The server can check for legit ownership or not. Usually it's only single-player games that get cracked.

MMO's get cracked too. Used to play Ragnarok Online in a pirate sever paying 0$.

They can. It's a lot harder and different though. It requires emulating the server software and replicating it. It won't be the same servers as the main game, and also usually requires knowledge of something not provided with the game.

A notorious game cracker stepped away from the game cracking scene to make a game look wut?
