I'm a good boy.

I'll just wait for the FitGirl release.

Spoken like a true fitgirl follower

haha is that a good or a bad thing?

I've looked so hard and couldn't find it just now, but it's possible I was thinking of Empress

One of them (I think) had a cult following and to "join" you'd have to act like a submissive male or something to that effect and acknowledge women or her being superior or something to that effect

I'm a little foggy on the details and can't find it right now but hopefully someone knows what I am talking about and can link an explainer lol

That's Empress that had the sub following. She was knows as being the only person who could crack Denuvo DRM until the hypervisor bypass was found

Or the only one insane enough to crack multiple titles. I think there were 1 or 2 other groups who did but it seems to be a headache inducing time sinks which could prove pointless after many updates. Please do correct me if I am wrong on that as I am pretty out of touch.

Nah, I think your right that others have cracked a game or two, but then said they would never do it again. And I think there was someone else who would crack Denuvo regularly, but it was for Fifa or some other sports game and that was all he did. Empress was just the only one to do it consistently, and it quickly turned into a shit show with her cult and her asking for donations/saying she would only crack certain games if people donated thousands of dollars

anthropologically speaking it might be worth paying her if she'll keep doing it. most cracks are forever, after all

I'm going to have to disagree with you there. Denuvo is sold as a subscription and the devs/publishers aren't going to be paying for it forever. They usually remove Denuvo in a year or two of a game's release, and then they usually get cracked immediately after
