As crazy as that makes Empress sound, I'm definitely willing to look past this kinda stuff because it's best not to bite the hand that might feed you.
Also, we definitely need more crackers (especially of the d€nuvo kind) to step up and train the next generation of crackers instead of just ranting online about their torrents being removed from popular sites.
Excusing crazy people doing crazy things cause they give you free stuff is the shittiest take I've seen on lemmy
Everybody's crazy. It's 2023.
Are you really comparing "everyone" to empress?
I'm just saying getting stuff from Empress is no worse than getting it from a corporation. She's going to be equally crazy whether you download her cracks or not, at least she's not exploiting child labor or destroying the environment in the process.
Corporations aren't going to fill their software with crypto mining malware and when exposed go torched earth trying to put the blame on their accusers.
Exactly. I'd rather take the unhinged rants and malware than the destruction of the planet and perversion of human society, thank you very much
Do you download cracked games?
I mean it is not hard, you have only been there for 3 days 😁
But that's capitalism.
I personally believe that, since piracy is already illegal in the developed world, and since I live in a politically divided first world country, that we don't need to bring politics and stuff into this.
Besides, we don't have many better options when it comes to d€nuvo than to accept the people who crack games with modern variations of it. I especially don't since I'm not smart enough to crack it and also since I go for pre-cracked games for the convenience of not having to apply the cracks myself.
