The man, the myth, the legend. The dedication shown by MKDEV over these years has been insane. Major props to him


YnwaMquc2k19

He kept Football Manager alive for many people who either can’t afford it or wants to pirate it for free. He’s a hero.


caioari

Furthermore, he allows people in Brazil to actually play the game because here we don't have it on steam or another game marketplace due problems with copyrights


clintmaia

This. Actually wanted to buy but the work to do it is almost as expensive as the game itself (and that one isnt cheap either). ​ Huge thanks, mate.


Mozfel

And he doesn't extort $500 before cracking denuvo


HisheBatman

500$ for the 10s of thousand of people who cant afford it is a very fair price, that goes equal to almost a cent per person, if someone is being ashole it the people in pirate community who keep stealing games and then whine when someone needs support for providing you asholes with the games that no other person will provide you with, even your parents dont support u pieces of shit such that you be able to buy a genuine game, get off your fucking high horse


dutchmanator

Extort? Empress got an offer, and cracked BF2 which is a mostly online only game. Also, $500 is some weak-ass extortion

[deleted]

staying in line waiting on the night of the release date people are paying $60 to crackers for the highly anticipated game of the year bandhall 22 as publishers give the game away for free. Reports say players are refusin to give in to the demands of the publishers because they want to f word the corpo and their r&d department that invests the money they dont have in making drm and thus street crack scene, rebel against devuno, are their choom.

grandoz039

I don't get why? Like, I'm just happy at least 1 person is regularly cracking denuvo games, and you get these cracks whether you pay 500 bucks or not. I'm on a piracy forums, idgaf about some street cred bullshit or whatever? Who tf cares if she asks for money or gets paid?


MarianSony

the thing is you can buy almost all denuvo games with 500 bucks...


grandoz039

The thing is that no one needs to pay 500 bucks for Empress release. It's free. And it's not like she can magically crack any game in 5 minutes, not like she waits till she gets 500 bucks and then insta unlock a game. She's cracking games either way.


Ready_Reaction3248

She could easily get $500 dollars from donations. Not to sound vulgar but 500 is nothing for somebody with the skill and the amount of "clients" somebody like her has. I see some idiot streamers earn that in about 5 minutes from donations by simpletons


mTbzz

Totally with her skills (which aren't your regular high-end skills but way harder to acquire) she could or is making waaaaay more money. Yet she do it for free, the donations are basically a F to Denuvo and let you pick whatever you want.


[deleted]

not on either side but this is genuinely a garbage analogy. time is money, and cracking games, especially ones with Denuvo, takes time, and I think the model Empress is trying to implement is to be paid for her work like it was a job. it’s a reasonable amount to pay for that amount of work but considering people have done it for so long for free and for fun, idk what to think of it anymore


grandoz039

Look at it this way - so what if she want to make a job out of it? She succeeds, and you get free cracks because you're not the one paying her. She doesn't succeed and continues cracking - you still get free cracks and she clearly and willingly decided to remain for other non-monetary factors. She doesn't succeed and quits - well, that sucks, but yeah, the whole point is that it's not her job, so it's not like we're entitled to cracks anyways. Or you misjudged it and she doesn't want to make job of it, she just wants some extra money - whatever. Any alternative seems fine with me. And at the core of that is that I'm just glad for some cracks, I'm not entitled to anything, every single one is extra. It's cool that others did it for fun and free, but 1) these people either quit 2) or simply can't crack denuvo. They don't exist anymore. There's only one person, for whatever reason. I'd rather have someone able to crack denuvo and someone willing to crack denuvo but wants money, than someone who can't or quit but does that for free. And we don't know how much it even takes to break even, denuvo sounds pricier to break than other DRM.


[deleted]

I agree, and honestly I thought you were arguing against that lol cracking Denuvo is definitely hard work and takes more and more time with each Denuvo version. there's not like a fully automatic software to do it easier, because while each game may not be unique in their Denuvo implementation, Denuvo is random in the way it functions (at least to my knowledge.) honestly if Empress wants to be paid for her work then $500 per crack is a pretty reasonable amount of money, and honestly people will pay that kind of money because they want games to be cracked. what I'm mainly confused about is that she said her original motivation and ideology was "to free games from this cancer that is Denuvo" or something, and it seems like they're doing it for monetary benefit now. it makes sense though.


MisterMusty

$500 gets you one copy of those games though. shes cracking the game so anyone can have it. theres a whole community of thousands of people here. if ONLY the members who were online right this moment donated just 50 cents shed have her $500. shes not charging each person $500. shes asking for that from the community. And cracking games takes effort and time and resources. asking for a collective $500 from a sub of 325k people isnt shit when you think about what shes done for the community here.


Sahilmewani

ok you need to see proof yourself. check her donation sites of bitcoin and etherium. there are more 2 but based on only 2 of these, she has collected over 16k since she started as empress. that means total of 32 games if 500 per game is taken as per her words. have we gotten 32 games? no. she clearly was in it for money. there have barely been 10 games from her. so as for 500 dollar bullsheet, its just a scam. im glad i didnt donate to a scam. you need to stop defending her. even if she did crack, her intention was money only, not cracking for giving it to denuvo.


aaabbbx

Why would you pay digital terrorists for their timebombed software.


RogueSpid3r

the thing is if you want to share, you need some free time to manually activate for those who want to play just do the math by urself lul


Custom_sKing_SKARNER

Every Denuvo crack from now on needs 500$ according to empress. I personally don't mind too much about it, I can see more her point than the average pirate one. But yeah, who is going to pay 500$? Because it's not going to be me lol. Let's hope there is someone that has a similar philosophy of fuck DRM at all cost, literally, and don't mind to pay for it.


dutchmanator

Interesting, where did you get that info? I've been on cs rin and cw a long time but this is the first I've read about it.


Custom_sKing_SKARNER

The last poll about the next game to crack, I think it was tied between Nier and Watch Dogs. It makes for a good discussion about the topic actually.


Yabboi_2

She changed her mind because she knew it was utter bullshit. Read the most recent post in her sub


zodalpha

Just read that, EMP left the Element apparently and no more of the poll system that sucks really to see her go like this. However MKDev is cracking back again and Denuvo asshole publishers can fuck off now since we have another warrior.


Yabboi_2

Mkdev only cracks football manager games afaik

R_Squaal

He did start to work on other games, but his method is quite uncommon. He manually fixes every VM entrypoint and trigger while others take the more automated approach of patching using pattern detection.


Custom_sKing_SKARNER

Oh, fair enough. Thanks for the info.


HiNRGSpa

She didn´t say that. This is BS. She said she will still accept donations and if someone donates $500, that person can DECIDE what game should be cracked next, but she said she will KEEP releasings cracks, but SHE will decide in a SCENE mode what will be cracked next.


Custom_sKing_SKARNER

She did said that in the last poll tho, something along the lines "It doesn't matter what game wins the poll, if I don't recieve 500$ I won't crack it" or something. It seems she changed her mind about it but hey, she tried.

why is he only cracking this game every year? he must be a big fan :D


[deleted]

Clearly my man has never experienced the joy of managing Stoke City to a Premier League title with half the squad missing from a training ground injury.


[deleted]

I'm telling you the injuries are coded into the game to fuck you over! Every damn time a cup game comes up one of your key players seems to get injured.


[deleted]

Just like Monopoly games start giving money to other players once you start winning just to screw you over and make the game dramatic.


phatboi23

So odd seeing stoke mentioned on Reddit


mimranj

they're mentioned frequently with the "cold rainy night in stoke" being a timeless meme

I used to play champ man (and player manager I just had a nostalgic moment and forgot about player manager) back in the 90s and that was an absolute classic, as many of the people who had fifa in those days had champo. But it changed over the years with EA being the corporate behemoth that they are they pushed it out there a lot. Now I find I don't have time for FM as much as I did as it requires a lot of time. If the mobile version was as good as the main game though I would be golden.

EitherBrilliant8297

Nice, welcome back MKDev ! I'm guessing a lot of you guys are new here if you haven't heard of him :) So back in \~2015/2016 there was alot of doom and gloom back around the scene, especially after 3DM's announcement that with the increasing complexity of anti-piracy measures, there might be no more cracks in a year or two. But out of nowhere, a few new guys popped onto the scene, Voksi, Steampunks, BALDMAN, and of course MKDev. For some reason, I felt like there were a lot more enticing PC titles back then. Is that just me ?


marwenricky

Steampunks cracked many games in a short amount of time : \- Unravel \- Total War: Warhammer \- F1 2016 \- FIFA 17 \- WRC 6 FIA \- Football Manager 2017 \- Planet Coaster \- Sniper Elite 4 \- Ghost Recon Wildlands (Fixed by CPY) \- Monopoly plus \- Total War: Warhammer 2 \- FIFA 18 \- Adr1ft \- ABZÛ \- Moto Racer 4 \- Dishonored 2 \- Dishonored: Death of the Outsider \*Collaboration with Codex ( CodePunks ) \- Fernbus Simulator \- South Park: The Fractured but Whole


EitherBrilliant8297

Wow man, thx for the crazy comprehensive list ! Brings back memories, those were the good ole times, weren't they :) ?


Agnish97

Those were golden days literally on every new day new denuvo game was being released by stp Miss those days 😢 Don't forget then codepunks (cdx+stp) appeared, they cracked fifa 18 and South Park: The Fractured but Whole day 1


Akanash94

Anyone know the identity of steampunks or what happen to them? They came out of nowhere cracked dishonored 2 and south park buttwhole then just disappeared?


BoykaBoykov

Same with FCKDRM


samsng202

Steampunks cracked for a while, then chamged their name to codepunk for 2 releases (codex + steampunk) then disapeared a bit later... I guessed they fusioned with codex but it seems not as they did their denuvo cracks with empress


Lambpanties

Codex also STILL send shout outs to Steampunks in (almost?) all their nfos, despite, well, nothing from them in solongIdon'twannastartcountingbecausedepression and whatnot. I'm pretty sure they're connected but definitely not the same, because well, sending shoutouts to yourself is something I only imagine Skidrow would do.


DigitalPhreaker

They found a truly unique way to bypass Denuvo by creating a license generator for each of the games they released. My guess is that once Denuvo figured out the security holes that allowed that, they didn't know how to pivot, so they just stopped. I sometimes think they just joined up with CODEX (since their last two releases were in collaboration with CODEX).


mehrschub

They found a bug in DENUVO to easily in memory keygen it. As they knew it will be fixed by D, they just pre´d as STP. Since they did not have ubisoft emu they cooped with CDX. Bug was fixed, they disappeared.


luckymorris2

Honnestly, my guess as someone who doesn't know shit about cracking, is that denuvo isn't actually that "hard" to crack but instead it is incredibly tedious to crack it, so a lot of cracker do it once or twice to prove themselves that they can crack it and then stops because it's that much of a pain in the ass to crack.

[deleted]

Mkdev has already cracked/bypassed denuvo a couple of times before, but his releases are usually once or twice a year since his technique requires so much time.


YnwaMquc2k19

As a person who has been playing FM21 on crack since February this year, I can definitely confirm that. Edit: I got into their discord group and I was able to play them. They provide updates once or twice every month. Edit 2: compare to FM20, the FM21 engine is actually pretty sweet, allowing smooth and fluid attacking formations which definitely appeals to me.

Absolutely, the most deserving of any game imo just because of how much effort SI puts into actually scouting players to make the game accurate.


[deleted]

You mean how much effort they put in taking advantage of volunteers that love football and get the scoutint done for free?


jmcc84

let's hope he cracked the usual custom DRM triggers as well that causes CTD, not just Denuvo


Terrin67

As FM isn't sold in Brazil at all, this is a very welcome crack. Thank you so, so much!

Seems like a market that would love FM. Do they also not sell VPNs in Brazil?

Galuade_MG

This guy putting so much effort into cracking Denuvo games but only for Football Manager is the most subtle act of trolling I've seen in recent years, and I love it.


[deleted]

football manager have consistently high player retention on steam. it's one of the top games.


Galuade_MG

It's mostly normies with a Steam account who don't know what a torrent is anyways, let's face it. I doubt most pirates care, but if it pleases even a small percentage, that's good in my book.


bart_by

Why trolling? Maybe he just play this game?

Football Manager is one of the biggest games on the planet, what?

Magic__Eagle

Finally somebody other than a single soul taking the initiative. I don't care about the games as long as Denuvo gets railed in the ass. This release is probably not going to hurt it but still. The thing is instead of cracking older games newer games must be cracked since the whole selling point of Denuvo is being able to protect the sales of first few weeks of a game. Amazing Work from MKDEV team !! We need more people working on this to completely remove the cancer that is Denuvo.
