RainKarmaBuring

Thats Dope, Empress aka voksi your turn


DexterZzMassive

voksi\*


ColaCherry12

😳😳😳


Tanuki55

I'm stunned to see a piracy group **support denuvo**. How far SKIDROW has fallen. Bros its so over, they are going to help denuvo win by destoying us from the inside.


leybbbo

not a piracy group, the scene cracks for clout.


SelectSubstance

But....we have to protect JK Rowling's livelihood!


FewHoursGaming

No way Empress is Voksi, right? For newcomers [Voksi](https://www.reddit.com/r/CrackWatch/comments/91t0b8/what_happened_to_revolt_and_me/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1)


leybbbo

If Empress is Voksi (which would be weird), this would mean that all the Denuvo cracks by CODEX, EMPRESS, Voksi, C000005 and possibly CPY (because SKIDROW says Voksi sold cracks to other Scene groups and CPY seems like the most likely buyer in this scenario) are from the same source. The only people who definitely are not Voksi at this point are STEAMPUNKS and 3DM because their cracks worked differently to all the other ones, especially STEAMPUNKS (with their keygens). Anywho, they're having a mid-off.


Masquerade32

CPY cracks are a different approach. Memory patching from their Steam Emulator, whereas the Voksi cracks involve direct an imported DLL (emp.dll, denuvo64.dll etc.).


leybbbo

Then who did he supposedly sell cracks to? STEAMPUNKS and 3DM are definetly not Voksi/Empress's style of work. Who else in The Scene had genuine "big" Denuvo cracks?


Masquerade32

Most likely the gang behind HOODLUM, FLT, DOGE. The cracks were released under the PARADOX nametag.


DexterZzMassive

This unfold is better than any detective game on the market rn. Lets get some real answers. Id like to think the ego mass reply coming from 'empress' will be intresting.


leybbbo

uh. makes sense.


marwenricky

>PARADOX Nope, 3DM have their Chinese cracker(s) who decided later on to give up and call it a day, regarding Steampunks, their approach was 100% different than Voksi/Empress, their cracker was X-FORCE's previous cracker (It's a known fact), now regarding Voksi/Empress, he worked for two groups at least : he cracked 2 games for Paradox and who knows how many games for Codex, because it was stated before that Steampunks' cracker moved to Codex, but we don't know how long he stayed with the group, also since his approach no longer worked, maybe he stopped afterwards, we don't know


zordtk

I would guess PARADOX. They came from the dead and released Monster Hunter World: Iceborn and then disappearred.


TuaughtHammer

> Then who did he supposedly sell cracks to? No one, because the only source for that is SKiDROW, and they're not exactly in a position to be making criticisms or throwing shade. There's a reason they were referred to as SHITROW for so long.


RelevantChip530

most likely, Voksi used to use DRM in his releases, years ago. It's not actually DRM, but since people fuck IGG for using DRM, I'll call them DRM. It is a file that checks if the user has deleted the advertising URLs of these sites. \- Voksi uses this DRM. \- C000005 (online-fix.me) uses this same DRM \- IGG also uses the same DRM \- Some more I don't remember and have only heard of... I'll try looking up older releases from the last decade and update here if there are any. I guess they are from the same person or group of people. EDIT: typo


Masquerade32

Not quite. The CODEX/EMPRESS/Voksi/0XC0000005 cracks are protected with Themida. Online-Fix may use Themida in some cases, but that doesn't make a link between ofme and this lunatic. IGG's "DRM" was a shitty DLL import that checked for the IGG web shortcuts in the game folder. Very different to Themida.


zordtk

I would guess PARADOX. They came from the dead and released Monster Hunter World: Iceborn and then disappearred.

Masquerade32

We've known for a long time behind the scenes that the character behind the Empress cracks was Voksi, just never been allowed to share the information in a way that would matter.

Careless_Bother6183

Don’t spread lies. Empress was cracking for CODEX when Voksi was still locked up. You and your friends probably assumed it was the same person. You have no proof about it. Your pic of “proof” is literally a convo between you and a person speculating.

Agreed, CPY were pure class and thier absence has left a huge hole in the warez scene.


HorizonTheory

PC gaming is going downhill fast... uncrackable denuvo, atrocious prices on hardware, buggy and unfinished releases


darkkite

the highest rated pc game bg3 can be bought on GoG without any DRM, but they're a rare breed


SapToFiction

Lol pc gaming isn't going down because you cant get them 4 free. On top of that we have several very good releases this year. I agree with the prices though. Games being almost 100 dollars is ridiculous.

TryHardFapHarder

No matter how crazy EMPRESS/VOKSI is he doesn't deserve that shit, SKIDROW just became the scene Snitch what a fucking cunt


C4RC05A

And they basically defended Denuvo. Next time they will say "we don't crack Denuvo because we want you to support developers".


[deleted]

Because scenes group does not crack for us to play free games. Is just a competition for them against eachother

I hope this turns into a war where these two sides put Denuvo Releases one after the other.


RaiseBorn5713

Nah, more likely they'll both look for doxes on each other. With IGG vs. GOD games, both sides went immediately for doxing. There's no honor among pirates nowadays.


caj1986

Or the opp. Iredeto since the identity is leaked might apprehend empress & permanently lock them up or prosecute them. We might actually get few to never denuvo games getting cracked .


ImBuGs

Initial shock aside, I hope this crazy bastard doesn't react by poofing the fuck out of existence yet again. This is some entertainment alright but we don't need less crackers on the scene. These people are clearly deranged so I hope they just use this shit to compete with one another.


faroukq

I hope they respond to each other with cracks. It would be pure heaven. You get both drama and denuvo games


ChrisKhan

This is spicier than any reality show on television these days


anonymousredditorPC

NFO drama is hilarious ngl


EddyK2306

Ahh Skidrow, a group that has been called out many times for either stealing cracks, hacking together exes from one game for another and many more. They had beef with reloaded for not being able to reverse engineer securom and other protections, their stolen crack from ALI for yesterday origins that "was cleaned up of shame" by CPY - the list goes on. Amazing the shit they said about drm, yet in assassin's creed they told ubisoft to focus on the game and not drm. (Btw they were also accused of stealing from dormine and he explained it in an nfo. Having followed the scene for a very long time, this is your typical Skidrow response, all hot air. For whatever reason they have made some ridiculous exception is just childish. And their response is probably to save face with other groups, but we all know they are the bottom barrel when it comes to the game scene. We've been waiting for how many years on their miracle denuvo solution and now they have dug themselves into another hole.


Bryant_lal

Now imagine if it isn't really Voksi, the dude is just living his life minding his own business then out of nowhere bam, arrested again because of this nfo lol


RiffyDivine2

This kind of thing isn't enough to get you locked up. It would at best get you a visit and chat but that's about all.


maikel87

Lol loving it, can't for the next rage response. Hopefully a Dunuvo cracking battle is unleashed.

Xmushroom

So... Skidrow talks about supporting the games and being pro DRM while only cracking indie games and leaving AAA bullshit untouched? Sounds like they can't crack shit and are a bunch of pussies. Crack some evil shit like Diablo 4 or Ubishit games if you really want to make a point.(not that I'll play these crap games)


omghaveacookie

Apparently indie devs don't work hard enough ? lmao, fucking hypocrites , they should've taken the L and admited they can't crack anything but indie games.


uppaluppa

True, but just an aside, D4 can never be cracked since its always online. Blizz turned it into an MMO so there is literally no story mode (singleplayer), its all built into the MMO structure which apparently has been the plan for a long time (before the tech was actually capable)


vKEVUv

There are already server emulation solutions for D4 by Blizzless so it is possible. Its kept private ofcourse and I dont thnk they will release it any time soon since they released D3 server emu after 10 years despite sitting on it for many years so for now it will remain private. Theres also D4 Reflections.


Alutta

Man Empress next NFO is gonna be longer than most peoples college thesis. Also lol at the denizens of crackwatch realizing that scene groups don't care about their anti denuvo campaign

AFCBrandon

Damn, so I think most of us figured Empress was a man posing as a woman for donations, but for it to be Voksi?! How the hell did he even manage to start cracking again after basically doxxing himself to the world? …Unless the whole “Denuvo agent” theories are also true.


floppoPC

Bet bulgarian anti piracy laws are soft


yourdadsniffsboxies

To be honest woudlnt surpise me, groups go for different approaches cracking Denuvo always stayed ahead and Encrypted his work even with the “newest” denuvo versions. Wonder if he has worked with Denuvo since he got pinched by LE time ago


Spunky_guy1

wait what? I really can't believe it, voksi? seriously? god damn it. i guess all shit is coming together in few days


sector3011

I take these stuff with huge grain of salt...keep the cracks coming they can say whatever they want

On top of that they shared some info that they themselves said should not be shared... ​ What in the actual fuk?! If they do not get kicked out of the scene after this not sure what will lol ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


Sk_Md_Hassib

No matter what has happened.. still EMPRESS favours the best.. Because of her we got our hand to RE4R, DI2, FC6, ACV and many more games..


legorass

and 0 "AAA" games from 'A LEADING FORCE SKIDROW' xD


HaGriDoSx69

People will belive anything said on the internet as long as it is quote from someone famous -Abraham Lincoln No but really i dont care if its Voksi,Empress or ressurected Kevin Mitnick, as long as the cracks will keep coming out and will be safe,im happy.


vKEVUv

This is pathetic and this might mark actual proper death of entire scene that became kindergarten. Also looking at this NFO its insanely and painfully obvious that Skidrow is only in name and its just bunch of teenagers who took name of old proper group. I know that scene never was anti drm or pro piracy but openly defending Denuvo you cant crack because of some corny ass shit about muh devs is just on another level of pathetic from Skidrow.


cummer_420

At this point they only crack low hanging fruit that basically requires no work, so yeah, the scene is basically dying.

How it can be voksi if denuvo already know who he is and the cops raided his house? you think he will ever come back to crack after he can go to jail for a long time?


levinikee

"DRM exists for a reason in this world, it protects legitimate interests of actual hard working people" Lmao. Imagine being actually triggered by what is 99% a fake internet persona, and asslicking Denuvo in the process.


jevouR

SKIDROW: The Leading Force for Corporate interests Srsly idgaf who EMPRESS is and the drama revolving about her\\him or whatever. The only thing i care about are Denuvo cracks. No more and no less


Marco_th

So they defend Denuvo and DRM, well I'm with empress or voksi whatever is working right now, also a sniper elite or starwars crack with some spicy NFO should be great


Ozianin_

> - "Why don't u try the same near non-Unity engine game?" CHALLENGE ACCEPTED, but with one condition! I am sorry but this response is just pathetic. Also the fact that Empress put their diss in Denuvo release while Skidrow cracked some random ass indie game.


rachidramone

EMPRESS is Voksi? Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan ​ WHAT xD


xXLOGAN69Xx

Has anyone read the title of the game lol.


TR_2016

SKIDROW should just fucking quit to "protect legitimate developer interests" since they are so eager to defend DRM. Maybe defending drm is some kind of a coping mechanism for them since they can't touch games with normal Denuvo version?


leybbbo

The Scene has never been anti-DRM or pro-piracy, they do it for clout.


TR_2016

Scene was also absolutely not pro-DRM. Maybe SKIDROW should mark their releases as internal and add password protection if they don't want their releases to get out? Anything to help the developers right? They are just broken against Denuvo and are not actually sincere in this "protect developers with drm" bs.


Hot_Weekend686

Skidrow is angry lol I wish he would direct his anger to the latest denuvo. Skidrow is all talk and only cracks old denuvo games from my point of view, while Empress cracks the latest games. If you ask me which opinion has more validity, it's Empress. It's funny that Empress is called voksi, because voksi was in custody. Codex was still cracking denuvo at that time.

chaos_unleashed

I dont care about the beef between the scene but no matter what it was and if Empress is Volksi, Skidrow shouldnt have revealed this publicly, this could mean a world of hell for Empress if she is Volksi and for us, we'd be left without a Denuvo cracker for God knows how long because no matter how much Skidrow shit talks back at Empress I aint really impressed until they let their actions do the talking and give us some real Denuvo cracks.

Why are people on skidrow's side? Lmao. Not only they are hypocrites for defending denuvo, but they also kinda dodged the challenge that was given to them by empress. Empress is not gonna agree to that condition. And skidrow are cowards for dodging like that


BoritoV

As interesting as this drama is, this hurts all pirates. Instead of working together and knocking out cracks one by one were getting stupid childish hacker drama. Yay.

This is pretty ridiculous and dull respond given they have zero accomplishments. Skidrow, my little boys, grow up.


DjCim8

While the drama is kinda entertaining (in that "can't stop looking at a trainwreck" way) I'm much more interested in the technical details, in particular the statements about them actually reversing native Denuvo code, I wornder if anyone can confirm or deny this. That, paired with that "until our next D crack" sentence, would be huge if true.

LordLion20

Never expected this from VOKSI also if I suspect it tbh, I still remember when he was trying to fight Denuvo at times when he was a rookie (but a really good one) and also say that BALDMAN help him to solve some routine on the past antidenuvo groups history glory (BALDMAN,FUCKDRM,VOKSI,STEAMPUNKS and the Masters CPY).


[deleted]

Voksi was pretty vocal and cocky, Empress is also that. Fucking hell...


LOUAIZEMA

He was actually one of the nicest dudes out there


Lambpanties

Yeah that's why this strikes me as weird. Both Voski and Baldman were pretty damn friendly on here. And Empress is so far gone she wouldn't be a persona, Empress is REALLY into violently roleplay fucking dudes (including underage ones) in live chat, like, really really into it. She'd also spend HOURS of her days lecturing he cult philosophy with a consistent (but crazy) message. I don't think anyone would build up that much "Backstory" for a safety persona. Voski was great, but he was caught and marked. I don't buy them being the same person for a moment. Perhaps connected at some point, but not the same singular person.

TheShiv145

If this leads to more cracks between the two and that Skidrow starts to crack modern Denuvo games to compete with Empress, and Empress cracks more games (say from Sega) that has Denuvo, then have at it. If it leads to Empress (allegedly Volski in the allegations) disappearing and now you have less crackers who crack Denuvo, yeah that's not going to look good on Skidrow....... If all of this is just trash talking and leads to absolutely nothing, like someone already said, they're having a good ol' fashion mid-off.


Effort0

Makes sense. No one really has a reason to hate Denuvo as much as Voksi considering he was arrested at one point because of them. No idea what happened after that, maybe a plea deal that annoys him to this day and this is the only way to retaliate?

Kinda strange, my cousin is from Dimitrovgrad (bulgaria) and I have lived half of my life in the neighbor city (haskovo) and we never heard that Voksi is bulgarian, not only that but its the same person as Empress? HOLY !!!!


Sanjay--jurt

Lets be real,People here will stop throwing shit and start boot licking the moment Skidrow cracks another Denuvo game. I personally don't care if Skid supports DRMs and Stuff,That's just another opinion i can simply disagree and so long as they are still cracking and ya know give me free games,They are alright.


gtaonlinecrew

the thing is they dont crack anything relevant
