Fitgirl was the first one to crack it, I believe on commission and/or out of spite.
Empress look at me forgetting names again.
you're thinking of EMPRESS
Definitely presented as out of spite
Some people speculate that this is the cover-up persona to hide that they're actually a team with people who have worked on Denuvo themselves, and it certainly sounds more believable than this single woman managing to crack Denuvo in 14 days when every other cracker still in the business can't.
(but also some people are truly insane who knows)
I've seen the unhinged things Empress posts on Reddit, anytime they've got something to say that isn't directly related to cracking.
Either Empress is a team of people with the worst Social Media Manager ever or it's a huge Autist who just happens to be good at programming.
Given the usual drama in the piracy scene, the latter seems much more believable tbh.
