As a person who doesnt pirate games I hope empress reigns supreme for the rest of eternity. I just get to the cackle at craziest fucking headlines that come out of the game piracy community because of this one person. This one insane fucking person Has this global community bent to their will and you can't even complain about it because what are you gonna do? Go pay for things? Fuck that noise.
If it were in a movie I would say it's overwritten. If I didn't know how crazy people can seriously crazy I would think it's performance art. It's the rare perfect storm in modern day where everybody's doing something wrong so you can point and laugh at the misery of all of the people involved.
but my lord, the lore!???

Apparently some mods were running keyloggers on the community.
What the fuck
This sort of shit has been going on in the warez community for decades. It's why I don't pirate software anymore - even Empress has a strong incentive to sell out.
Yeah, I also don't pirate stuff. I'd rather use open source software anyways. And luckily the games I like deserve the money and I can afford to buy them
I know they said the mods were deleting posts about whatever it was but do you have a link to the discussion or proof?
Bare in mind what OP posted was from 4 months ago, but one of the mods mentions it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PiratedGames/comments/14qvyi3/some_controversy_going_on_at_this_sub/
They acknowledge changes were made, so I would take that as confirmation, but that whole group/sub kind of cringey. Posts do get deleted by mods but users also make a lot of claims without any evidence. I get that most of those people don't have a technical background so its hard to find evidence, but that also maybe is a good reason to make a claim.
EDIT: When I wrote my original comment, I used "Apparently" and "Allegedly" synonymously. I understand if anyone wants to call me out on that, but doesn't seem right changing what I wrote (seems like that would be covering).

Keyloggers? On an internet forum? What for?
For logging keys, usually
of forum messages? No danger.
In software posted there, not in the forum software itself.

In 2023, 'cuck' is seemingly the greatest insult you can apply to a person.
Followed only by 'poopyhead'.
Friar Cuck
Cuckleberry Finn
Cuck (character from A Midsummer Night's Dream)
Cuck Hunter (excellent game included with original NES consoles)
This comment is gold.

While I think the world is enriched by people who get joy from their partners having crazy sex with others, cuckoo birds are a menace to all of aviankind, to the point that they other birds will hue and cry to chase them out of dodge.
Outside of a kink context, its use is a pretty great indicator that the person using it is a hateful moron who thinks they're"winning" if someone is "triggered." Basically the online equivalent of a pair of truck nuts.
In that respect, I'm grateful for its prevalence as it saves me a lot of time/energy that would otherwise be spent dealing with assholes.
I'm out of the loop here, what's this about?
Empress is considered the best Denuvo cracker in the world. Mostly because she's the only one that is consistently successful.
There are two major trains of thought regarding her. The first: she's a batshit crazy narcissist who is more toxic than a Kardashian-Jenner family dinner where Kanye and Pete Davidson show up unannounced. The second: she's the goddess and the most wonderful woman on the planet and one day she'll recognize my loyalty and I will have a place in her New World Order.
You forgot to mention the part where she is violently transphobic
Wait, violently?
She tried to out Fitgirl as trans to encourage harassment of her. Trouble is nobody believed her, because nobody knows anything about Fitgirl and we don't believe Empress does either.
She's also definitely Russian, and we, Russians, believe that it's a guy.
There's no women on the Internet.
Wait...so there really aren't hot MILFs in my area waiting to chat with me?

If she was a Russian guy she would have died in Ukraine.

I wouldn't be surprised if Empress is a group of two or more people. At least one to handle the "persona" of Empress and the rest to do the cracking. Artificial personas and obfuscated identities are Internet 101.
Could also be one person with multiple personalities. It would explain a lot.

she's providing games for free, who cares if she's a narcissist.
You skipped past the batshit crazy part, eh? I would not trust any software she has touched, but you do you.
I'm still waiting for her rap album though, ngl it might slap.
