I don’t have access to Twitter’s balance sheet, but I’d wager a guess that they’re on financial life support in the short term, and they’ve got a stage 4 cancer diagnosis in the long term.

The only thing Twitter has going for them over a competitor like Mastodon or Threads, is their name. And Musk has made sure their name is covered in shit and mud.

Twitter was doomed before Musk bought them, and they’re super doomed now.

You need to clear your cookies for Lemmy.world

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.

Could you even tell?

After all, we are in the era of advanced LLMs.

It would be nice to interact with my own family and friends

That’s a straight no from me.

We can already interact with our friends and family anywhere we choose, but Lemmy is one of the only general discussion areas left on the internet that isn’t full of the stupidest people on the planet.

Bringing our family here will just result in real identities taking over and limiting discussion to what’s acceptable in all our little social bubbles.

I don’t think anyone would even notice next to the garbage that’s already served by default on Reddit.

Motherland if I’m not mistaken.
