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
