Who is currently cracking Denuvo games?

I am editing a page on a wiki, and I don't want to accidentally publish misinformation.

I know of empress, but is there anyone else releasing cracked Denuvo games?

RIP CODEX

Edit: Denuvo not Denvuo

isn't it only Empress at this point, which is the entire reason why she is tolerated?
- Yup, just the nutter doing it.
  
  I feel like I'm missing something here
  
  Why do people say they're crazy?
  
  For context I have no idea who this "Empress" is
- I tolerate her because she's fuckin hilarious.
There is a crack team called MKDEV that targets Football Manager series which uses a slightly weaker version of Denuvo. They didn't crack the 2024 series so far, but chances are they will sometime soon.
- I'm pretty sure MKDEV, who is one person, quit cracking earlier this year.
  
  Oh damn, that'a sad loss
I have little doubt someone will lay into me for saying this but is even Empress bothering anymore? I haven't seen anything from her in months.
- Apperently she is busy modding starfield, she said that in an nfo
  
  Great. She'll be busy fixing that turd for at least 5 years. 😩
  
  I saw that on her telegram but wasn't sure how serious she was about it. I guess we won't be seeing any denuvo infections get cured any time in the near future cause god knows that shitheap is going to need plenty of attention.
Pretty sure it's only Empress. On another note, I would not believe the Empress story if I hadn't been around long enough to actually watch everything play out in real time.
- Is there a documented history or tl;dr I could check out to catch up?
  
  [EDIT] nvm, conversation one comment thread down linked to this: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/EMPRESS
Pretty sure it's just Empress lol
There are two, Empress and I can't remember the other name, the other person/group just does Football Manager games running older versions of Denvuo
- I believe youre talking about MKDEV, but someone else in this thread said they quit earlier this year :/
  
  Yes MKDev (also called MenuDev by some) cracked FIFA 23 before exiting the cracking scene this year.
If I recall correctly, CODEX's Denuvo cracker was Empress anyway, so it has been just her for a long while now. There have been one or two cracks by other people for games using ancient versions of Denuvo that nobody bothered to crack before, but she's the only one doing anything with Denuvo's current version.
- MKDEV cracked Football Manager 2023 and FIFA 23 and even infodumped his workflow. Sadly, nobody seems to have picked up his place.
  
  Any links to this? I'd be interested in seeing how it is done
I believe there's one that only cracks football games. I'm not too deep into the crack universe though
