If she is gone … What will the community do then?
I think Empress disappearing would be a net-positive for the cracking scene.
If there is nobody cracking the latest releases, the pressure will mount for new crackers to enter the scene. And perhaps we’ll get a new generation of crackers that bring some competition back into the space.
There’s also a lot of money involved in pirated games, with shops in poorer countries selling cracked games for pennies on the dollar to people who would otherwise be unable to afford, or even download the latest games.
So it’s my opinion that denuvo cracking will never go away, it’ll just evolve over time, like it has since the beginning.
You need to delete “cookies and site data” for your browser in order to resume using your Lemmy account.
I think this is a problem for people who are unaware of the hack or how to fix their account, since they’ll just think Lemmy is broken, and lose interest.
This is a great thing, but mass adoption should still be refrained from
Mass adoption would be great as long as it happens naturally over time, and not a result of the “we must grow” mentality of Silicon Valley.
Like Reddit, the massive “default” areas would be fairly low quality, with the culture being a reflection of the broader population. But the smaller specialized communities would be beacons of light for people looking for nuanced conversation.
With the way the fediverse is structured, the negative aspects of mass adoption would be simpler to avoid, simply by curating an instance to show content from the communities you’re interested in.
I can’t think of a better omen for the future of the free internet, than to have most people using a FOSS social media site as their primary online hub. It would certainly be better than allowing all online communication to be controlled by a handful of billionaires with goals that are harmful to society.
But again, this needs to happen naturally, by virtue of Lemmy just being a great place to share content, and without the goal of simply making the most money possible.
I pay a few bucks a month for access to a giant plex share.
It’s worth it to just, watch stuff, basically anything, instead of fiddling around with different apps and subscriptions and all that.
I’d happily pay a lot more for the same legal service, but it doesn’t exist.
Studios, if you want my money, make everything available in one spot for a reasonable price. Or, continue your bastardization of everything, and I’ll just keep watching your stuff anyway.
I was gonna say the same thing but then I saw the 2200-something upvotes.
This community is doomed to be exactly like the low effort meme sub r/piracy if people keep upvoting this lazy content.

Plex DMCA’d my private server a few months ago.
So I cancelled my Plex Pass and moved on to greener pastures.
They seem to be doing everything they can to get rid of their foundational userbase so they can attract… Ad supported free TV watchers?..
What morons are running the show in Silicon Valley?
Advertisers keep pushing for a more and more obtrusive browsing experience, while shoving consumerist junk in my face to try and drain my wallet.
And I’m just supposed to be okay with that?
Nope, I block all the ads I can.
Isn’t karma just like an anti-spam mechanism that barely works?
And you get karma just by posting whatever the community wants to hear. So it’s not like it shows how enlightened you are or anything.
Anyway, one thing that bothered me about Reddit’s karma system, is that people would delete their comments if they got a few downvotes, even if they had something important to say.
Here on Lemmy, you can quickly see both upvotes and downvotes. So if someone says something controversial due to politics or whatever, they’re less likely to delete their comment because they can see “ahh, I’m not just being mercilessly attacked, 50 people upvoted me.”
That can be abused I guess, but I like that it promotes discussion that isn’t just echo-chamber nonsense. We’ll just have to see how it works in practice.
You’re missing the point.
Pornography addiction is a real thing.
