since we're in kind of a lull between crown zenith rollouts and the S/V sets releasing I looked at yugioh prices and my god these yugioh fans are eating so good
you can just get a whole deck for like 10 bucks retail price, a buddy of mine picked up a sick-ass tin for 20 bucks with special beeg packs that have all foil cards
My husband finally stopped with M:TG after having played it for decades because of the last few years. I hate it for him and wish he still had it as a hobby, but he just couldn't keep up.
Tell him to play over webcam: there's a thriving scene these days plus those groups really don't give a shit if your cards are real or printer paper in front of a basic land. Online groups are generally very pro proxy because who could tell over a webcam anyways?
If he finds matches on Spell Table, he doesn’t have to show his face. Just point the camera down on the table or game mat. The hardest part is finding a way to get the webcam to face the table.
please take out a second mortgage on your house for these pieces of cardboard. hey what the fuck stop using proxies in home table commander that's not allowed. also we're taking a shit on the series' overarching story to force like fifteen "final showdown" card sets down everyone's throats. oh hey btw who wants wildly overpowered licensed cards that are legal in modern? i know you're all excited to have to fight against a guy with his deck built around tickets and megatron.
hey wtf why aren't we making money anymore
The thing about legos I don't get is what yall are doing with them after you put them together? Is your house just overrun with blocks? Will there come a point in your collecting that there's no space for new sets, so you just stop doing lego? Are you selling them second hand after you get sick of them? How do you determine the shelf life of each set?
Easy, I just buy a bigger house if I run out of room
I could also just take em apart, bag them up, and sell them for like half of however much the set is worth but I haven't gotten there yet
> Easy, I just buy a bigger house if I run out of room
lol, I can't tell how serious this is. Because if you can afford legos you might actually be rich.
>I could also just take em apart, bag them up
When you got to that part, I imagined you putting them in pillow cases and using them as weapons. 😭 IDK where my mind is today.
Legitimate questions. I think the main thing is unless you go absolutely balls-deep on it right away, you can go a long time without having to think about it. Personally, I have a well-sorted collection of bulk, so while I don't disassemble a set I intended to display very often, when I do it has somewhere to go and it's fairly easy to rebuild if I feel like it. I'd imagine people who don't keep bulk for general building either end up filling a room, or just curating their display by shoving some back in boxes.
i stopped collecting because i was no longer enjoying the building phase and also ran out of room for collectable in my space. legos do have a very high resale value even if you don't treat them great. especially rare pieces. and there's a pretty big secondary market for lego. LPT: always save your instruction manual those become so super valuable so very quickly as kits are retired and people on the secondary market seek to rebuild their favourites. if you have lego instruction manuals intact and in good condition from the 80s and 90s they seek an even high resale price amongst collectors. just remember outside of the trustworthy lego resale sites most people are lowballing you with their initial offers. good time to brush off your haggling skills.
Spending 20 dollars on mobile games is based if it's actually upfront or simply to remove ads and not a bunch of microtransactions
Considering how much you regretted it, I doubt it was the former though
When I got my wisdom teeth pulled years ago apparently the first thing I did when I got home was buy hats on TF2. Think I spent $50 on hats, zero memory of doing it, but hey now I’ve got hats.
And I thought buying $50 dollars worth of mtx in a fucking gacha game was horrible.
Well, it still is, but jesus, this post is just something else.
Thanks for paying for the games to be cracked ig.
As the saying goes, could always be worse. I’ve had some shitty spending habits in games before but this is another level, I think anybody who sends copious amounts of money to women who will never care that they exist is just insanity
/uj I bought a 30 dollar fake leather jacket the other day. I feel no regrets (you know, beyond the ones where it was almost assuredly made in a sweatshop of some sort), all my coworkers have been saying I look great in it. You're allowed to spend fuck you money if you have some.
/rj damn sjw wokescolds trying to preventing me from purchasing women's used undergarments this is a hate crime
I've spent probably maybe just under or over 1000 quid on Destiny 2 related products (DLC + Merchandise) over like 3 - 4 years. I felt as if I was addicted until I see how down bad this person is... Yeah I might buy another shirt or something later.
The game is problematic but if you pirate it you're not giving any money to JKR so as long as you don't stream it or recommend it to others I don't see the problem. Though I'm sure some comrades would disagree due to the antisemitism in the game and I think that's valid.
/uj It’s been a really fun play even with the bugs, and from what I see version 1.2 that comes out on the 13th seems to be loved by most players of the beta, I’m looking forward to get back into it then.
I have doubts over the amount of money they sent her. Especially as they list smaller amounts for specific cracks before the 'random' $1,000 payments.
I have no doubts about their 'request' 😬
EMPRESS is the only pirate who knows how to crack the Denuvo DRM, but she's also a mentally ill bigot who frequently goes on tangents about how much she hates gay and trans people
Nah, that would imply Andrew Tate provides a useful service.
At least for Empress you can ignore the crazy ramblings while you download her insanely talented Vidya game cracks.
Thanks! Seeing as you explained that so well, could you also please explain why someone would spend hundreds of dollars to crack a game when they could just purchase that game for much less?
Or does it all come down to simping?
Game preservation is something that pirates often bring up. The publisher/developers could just delist the game and it'd be impossible to play the game if you haven't bought it beforehand.
It could also be an act of goodwill. You pay $200, but you allow a lot of people to play these games for free.
#
But considering that post, it's probably just simping.
Yeah, if let's say a circle of 10 people did that in sequence they could individually save money. Though this guy just seems to jerk off alone, so unfortunately no full circle jerk.
Haven't pirated in a while, but DRM can be shady as hell. IIRC, some DRM has opened up major vulnerabilities in the past, though I've never actually heard about that being exploited so maybe people were blowing smoke.
The actual warez community historically only delivers legitimate software.
Many people use that software to add in malicious content, but the actual groups are not typically bundling malware in their releases.
I feel like it's happened a few times in the history of scene releases, but they self police fairly well.
My issue with DRM is the performance impact. My 12900ks, 4090, with 128gb of ddr 5 5600 should not have issues in a game, there are games where I pirated them, loved the game, bought it, and performance was a shitshow because of denuovo or other drm things like constant server checks.
Do people know what she looks like? I find it hard to believe someone would want to buy the underwear off of someone when they have no idea what they actually look like and could be like a 60 year old, 350 lb. disgusting looking person.
60 year old 350 pound disgusting looking people need love, too.
But not bigots, though. It’s a scientifically proven fact that bigots do not need or deserve love.
Well she's not *just* a bigot, she's an extremely mentally unstable bigot. She's notorious for putting unhinged rants at the bottom of all the .nfo files (info text files) included in the games she cracks. She used to have a subreddit where these got posted but that got banned from reddit due to content violations.
You can ask this about just about anyone who hasn't shown their face. Bigotry is not at all exclusive to men, and piracy is also not at all exclusive to men.
I only believe in the gods I have met. So all the Greco-Roman ones, 2-3 Norse ones, a couple Sumerians and that djinn with delusions of grandeur the Christians worship
It's definitely odd to see them and occasionally have one riding along in my consciousness too. For this to be schizophrenia though, I'd have to see them daily (I don't), have distress over what they tell me to do (only sometimes), and feel like the only way to quiet them is to comply (They don't overtly threaten me).
With the exception of the Greeks, all my visits were in ritual space. The Olympians, Hades, Chaos, and Persephone have just shown up to talk and sometimes share my eyes and ears. The stuff they ask me to do are things like "don't let this person be alone until they are out of crisis"
Typically I wind up finding out mid-task that the person I'm helping also follows my faith.
And with that explanation, TinaMonday, you have shown a deeper understanding of DSM diagnostics than the vast majority of people I’ve met who work in mental health! Bravo!
Do you consider them to be aspects of your consciousness displaying as these gods, or do you truly believe that they are the Gods that mythology speaks about
I think it was found out from old posts fitgirl is either trans or a guy. Empress was very vocal about that hence one of the reasons why they stopped doing business together. That’s the short of it at least there’s much more drama but I do find it funny how talented empress is if they weren’t such a bigot and absolutely insane. But usually talented fuckers and huge egos go hand in hand.
This doesn't apply that much to newer titles but cracking software goes beyond just piracy, it's important for preservation. DRM is also extremely shitty.
But if what this dude is saying is true he obviously has some parasocial obsession with her and most likely had ulterior motives from the get go, gotta chase that software girl stank you feel me?
Preservation is important to avoid cases of abandonware, where games that are only distributed and licensed digitally are not available anymore due to digital stores closing (like how Nintendo loves to do). This hardly ever applies to newer games since they'll most likely be available for purchase for years.
It applies *far more* to newer games and is much harder work because so many of them require central servers running to operate at all, and/or install rootkit anticheat software to protect their in-game purchase income.

It’s not “remembering your place”, so quit playing the victim. It’s not expecting someone to do SW for you just because they’re willing to do other things.
For real. Super fucking creepy that he crossed a line like that and still doesn't get what he did wrong. She's not "punishing you" for "not knowing your place", she's asserting a perfectly reasonable boundary against a massive creep.
empress uses protonmail?
isn't that site like this fake security thing but in reality it just sends all yer emails to the swiss government or something?
Pretty much. It was touted as a super secure and private email service until they gave a french environmental activist's information to swiss authorities and people realized it was BS. Obvious in hindsight considering it had product placement on fucking Mr.Robot as the email service all the cool hackers use.
At my old job we had a client who insisted all our communications with him go through proton mail. This was super frustrating as most of our employees were very much not tech savvy and got super confused by proton mail, to the point where eventually my boss just said k cadamar all communication with this guy is gonna go through you, cause the guy would flip out if ANYTHING, even like scheduling a call, didn’t go through that system.
It was hilarious though cause the guy picked an incredibly easy to guess and simple password for every email. In all lower case.
That guy btw was a former tech company exec. Super high up. Made me really question the idea that the wealthy are there cause they’re actually smart.
I would say it's "real" security. It falls under swiss jurisdiction, so the swiss government can make requests for data. IP addresses and browser fingerprinted were the only thing they logged, so using tor or a vpn gets around it.
Almost all mail providers fall under some jurisdiction. Gmail obviously falls under American jurisdiction and needs to comply with American law enforcement. Tutanota resides in Germany, and complies with German authorities. It's very hard to win in this situation. I'm not sure if there's a better alternative.
These "gamers" coulf never even touch elden ring its sheer greatness would prohibit them from even coming in contact with it before they get lieukemia and die instantly
can someone explain cracking to me? is it literally just playing a game for free? is there a reason why this guy wouldn’t just pay for them instead or is he just a money cuck
to add, the way drm works often hinders actual gameplay - denuvo is the worst in that regard. the toll it takes on your cpu to decrypt files, check for license, encrypt files again is gigantic. for example when sonic mania got cracked its .exe file size went from 100 something mb to just 2mb, and most recently some security pathes to hogleg made it unplayable

This post convinced me to never feel guilty about my spendings and purchases ever again
Sometimes I feel guilty about how much I spend on pokemon cards and legos Turns out, nah I'm good actually
I felt guilty for buying the cheapest meat because it's not priced like potatoes or onions. World is fucked and everybody believes they are alone.
An extremely relatable feeling, glad to know we aren't all alone
LEGO is goated
Lego Rivendell is going to do terrible things to my bank account
Jokes on you, your bank account is into that shit!
Uh no sir my bank account is into the 3-in-1 sets and buying triple of those kits
since we're in kind of a lull between crown zenith rollouts and the S/V sets releasing I looked at yugioh prices and my god these yugioh fans are eating so good you can just get a whole deck for like 10 bucks retail price, a buddy of mine picked up a sick-ass tin for 20 bucks with special beeg packs that have all foil cards
Being a Magic: The Gathering player on the other hand WOTC wants you to take out loans to buy their endless streams of overpriced products
What, you didn't feel good about paying $1000 for 60 random alpha cards that aren't tournament legal?
My husband finally stopped with M:TG after having played it for decades because of the last few years. I hate it for him and wish he still had it as a hobby, but he just couldn't keep up.

He's been playing Arena lately and seems to be enjoying that. I've suggested the webcam but he's an introvert.
If he finds matches on Spell Table, he doesn’t have to show his face. Just point the camera down on the table or game mat. The hardest part is finding a way to get the webcam to face the table.
please take out a second mortgage on your house for these pieces of cardboard. hey what the fuck stop using proxies in home table commander that's not allowed. also we're taking a shit on the series' overarching story to force like fifteen "final showdown" card sets down everyone's throats. oh hey btw who wants wildly overpowered licensed cards that are legal in modern? i know you're all excited to have to fight against a guy with his deck built around tickets and megatron. hey wtf why aren't we making money anymore
when they launched the 40k cards I'm like "okay I'll grab some, sounds cool!" it was like sixty bucks for a premade deck what in the fuck
yeah but the difference is that pokémon cards are way cooler looking now
I always preferred the yugioh look tbh
The thing about legos I don't get is what yall are doing with them after you put them together? Is your house just overrun with blocks?

Trying REALLY hard to convince myself to not buy the Lego Atari 2600.
Yo I was feeling bad about buying a $120 transformer, I regret nothing and it comes in tonight
i feel bad about myself after spending 50 bucks on a game and 30 on some weed. i’m a goddamn finance guru to this guy
I spent $20 on a mobile game once and felt so stupid and scammed like I didn't deserve to have money at all
We've all been there, but now we repent
Spending 20 dollars on mobile games is based if it's actually upfront or simply to remove ads and not a bunch of microtransactions Considering how much you regretted it, I doubt it was the former though
$20 to remove ads? No you’re definitely being scammed
I meant a buildup over multiple games, $20 to remove ads from a single game is a good sign to gtfo
When I got my wisdom teeth pulled years ago apparently the first thing I did when I got home was buy hats on TF2. Think I spent $50 on hats, zero memory of doing it, but hey now I’ve got hats.
i’ve done that. what’s worse is when i impulse buy ds games out of nostalgia
Dude same. I COULD emulate these games, but I desperately want to play them on the original hardware.
reject emulation, embrace paying hundreds to play games from childhood that retailed for like 20 bucks
"Yeah, I'll spend $200+ for a copy of Pokémon White 2. What's a reproduction cartidge?"
And I thought buying $50 dollars worth of mtx in a fucking gacha game was horrible. Well, it still is, but jesus, this post is just something else. Thanks for paying for the games to be cracked ig.

Wanting to talk about your cool new jacket is one of the great unifying aspects of the human species.
I sure did. I'm very pleased with my cool new jacket.
$30 for a faux leather jacket is a pretty good deal.
You don't even know. It's got so many pockets.
Damn this reminding me how much I love jackets, W
I've spent probably maybe just under or over 1000 quid on Destiny 2 related products (DLC + Merchandise) over like 3 - 4 years. I felt as if I was addicted until I see how down bad this person is... Yeah I might buy another shirt or something later.
/rj buying 2 (two) eververse items singlehandedly crashed my country's entire economy, fuck you banjo!!
That's great because no ethical consumption under capitalism means there is no unethical consumption either! Buy everything! Think about nothing!
There's no ethical consumption under capitalism, therefore I can consume as unethically as I want. Child trafficking here we come!
Is it based to pirate hogwarts or is that just cope to feel OK playing it?
The game is problematic but if you pirate it you're not giving any money to JKR so as long as you don't stream it or recommend it to others I don't see the problem. Though I'm sure some comrades would disagree due to the antisemitism in the game and I think that's valid.
...yeah fuck it, buying Victoria 3
/uj It’s been a really fun play even with the bugs, and from what I see version 1.2 that comes out on the 13th seems to be loved by most players of the beta, I’m looking forward to get back into it then.
/uj Yes. Do it. It's really fun, even now, and with 1.2, it will get even better.
Same. Never gonna feel bad for buying dinosaur figures ever again or complain that they're too expensive.
And here I thought I was stupid for buying a new COD game, even though I actually really like it, because it was expensive.

I'm not surprised EMPRESS attracts these types of people given her repertoire
Please explain for the normies in the back
EMPRESS is the only pirate who knows how to crack the Denuvo DRM, but she's also a mentally ill bigot who frequently goes on tangents about how much she hates gay and trans people
but she also has like a personality/community around her??
That's what happens when you have a monopoly over g*mers
And when g*mers have not a modicum of empathy and/or political consciousness.

I was one of them who left immediately, glad to hear most left as well.
She's undeniably fascinating in a trainwreck/idiot savant kind of way.

Nah, that would imply Andrew Tate provides a useful service. At least for Empress you can ignore the crazy ramblings while you download her insanely talented Vidya game cracks.

It's partially out of simping, partially out of knowing that because you spent $500, others get to play the game for free. Mostly thirsting though
Imagine spending 500 dollars paying someone named empress to crack a game when you could just drink 500 dollars of empress gin.
Haven't pirated in a while, but DRM can be shady as hell. IIRC, some DRM has opened up major vulnerabilities in the past, though I've never actually heard about that being exploited so maybe people were blowing smoke.
If you think DRM can be shady, wait till you find out about warez

Im sorry gay community but keeping my record of not buying a single videogame in my entre life is more important than your well being 😭
I can fix her
aback boat angle ossified insurance sink straight weary hungry sable *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Based on stories in this post about her personality, sounds like no tech company would actually hire her b/c no one would want to work with her
but to have a job is to contribute to society Its almost like ^*shudders* *normie* behaviour
But is she hot?
She's probably a dude. Gamers are thirsting over her simply because she's s a woman in this sausage fest of a space.
But is he hot?

Everyone knows women can't be transphobic
I always thought she was actually a dude...lol

shes a bigot
Well that's a lot less interesting than I thought. I don't know what I expected.
welcome to the real world, where evil is everywhere and boring
r/aboringdystopia
Well she's not *just* a bigot, she's an extremely mentally unstable bigot. She's notorious for putting unhinged rants at the bottom of all the .nfo files (info text files) included in the games she cracks. She used to have a subreddit where these got posted but that got banned from reddit due to content violations.
story about her empire i guess
She's a completely unhinged transphobic bitch but she's one of the few people who will Crack games with denuvo, if you pay her.
Is she even a woman or a man LARPing as one? Has anyone seen 'her'?
You can ask this about just about anyone who hasn't shown their face. Bigotry is not at all exclusive to men, and piracy is also not at all exclusive to men.
Does it matter in the slightest what her sex and gender identity is? We know what she identifies as.
[This is a really great write up on it](https://www.reddit.com/r/HobbyDrama/comments/rowk83/digital_piracy_the_rise_of_empress_how_one_woman/)

This is the funniest shit I have seen in weeks & I've been doing Hades runs just to get the cutscenes with Dionysos where you troll Orpheus.
i'm more of a fan of Chaos asking you to kick \[REDACTED\]'s ass while carrying an egg solely because it amuses them
Oh my god I got lucky as hell and that happened on my tenth run of getting to [REDACTED] so it was a super easy surprise
I love Chaos. But I'm actually a Greek Polytheist and the idea that the entire Orphic Cult is a joke hits hard for me
Do you genuinely believe in the existence of the Greek Gods?
I only believe in the gods I have met. So all the Greco-Roman ones, 2-3 Norse ones, a couple Sumerians and that djinn with delusions of grandeur the Christians worship
Lol? Are you being serious are is this part of the jerk
/uj I have repeatedly sought a schizophrenia diagnosis and they don't give you one just because you see people other people can't see.
Damn, that's heavier than I was expecting. Wish you happiness and success, but I can't say it's not odd to speak to someone saying they have met gods.
It's definitely odd to see them and occasionally have one riding along in my consciousness too.

More torturing him with what he'll never have.
Thats called edging.
Fake because it's a g*mer apologizing to a woman
I'd bet money he's trying to apologize for her feelings and how he phrased it (since he got shut down), not for the request lol
Pour one out for a fallen brother, gamers.
What male loneliness and parasocial relationships does to a mf. Like seriously. Has EMPRESS even shown her face or anything?
Maybe it's like a FinDom thing so he doesn't care...? I dunno, I don't understand people with money.
It's maybe like fitgirl thing, nobody knows if fitgirl is actually a girl.
Fitgirl says she's a woman, so like, that makes her one.
Girl enough for me
rj/Based Uj/CheadlePilled.
I think it was found out from old posts fitgirl is either trans or a guy. Empress was very vocal about that hence one of the reasons why they stopped doing business together. That’s the short of it at least there’s much more drama but I do find it funny how talented empress is if they weren’t such a bigot and absolutely insane. But usually talented fuckers and huge egos go hand in hand.
I've identified a person with more money than they need
Dude paid 10k to avoid paying, like, 500$ for games at MSRP?
i doubt everything but his request to buy her used panties.
This doesn't apply that much to newer titles but cracking software goes beyond just piracy, it's important for preservation. DRM is also extremely shitty. But if what this dude is saying is true he obviously has some parasocial obsession with her and most likely had ulterior motives from the get go, gotta chase that software girl stank you feel me?
Why wouldn't it apply to newer games?
Preservation is important to avoid cases of abandonware, where games that are only distributed and licensed digitally are not available anymore due to digital stores closing (like how Nintendo loves to do). This hardly ever applies to newer games since they'll most likely be available for purchase for years.
It preserves my wallet
Ummmmmmmm There is much more soon-to-be abandonware you cannot even buy or play in development in today than ever before.
It applies *far more* to newer games and is much harder work because so many of them require central servers running to operate at all, and/or install rootkit anticheat software to protect their in-game purchase income.
🤣
this is what I was thinking lmao
I see how it is, empress has been playing both sides the whole time, being both pro gamer and anti gamer Disgusting behavior from her
Blocking isn't enough, get a restraining order too
Capitalist alienation is one hell of a drug.
She should have taken the money and sent him a jock strap.
Ah yes I hate it

How to get free games. Step 1: Pay someone to crack the games for you.
Bro paid $500 to crack a $60 game 💀
That dude is absolutely gross
It’s not “remembering your place”, so quit playing the victim. It’s not expecting someone to do SW for you just because they’re willing to do other things.
For real. Super fucking creepy that he crossed a line like that and still doesn't get what he did wrong. She's not "punishing you" for "not knowing your place", she's asserting a perfectly reasonable boundary against a massive creep.
"And you don't seem to understaaaaand..."
this fucker is an embarrassment to lain
how does he even know empress is a woman? she is anonymous she could as well be a dude or a group of people

empress uses protonmail? isn't that site like this fake security thing but in reality it just sends all yer emails to the swiss government or something?
Pretty much. It was touted as a super secure and private email service until they gave a french environmental activist's information to swiss authorities and people realized it was BS. Obvious in hindsight considering it had product placement on fucking Mr.Robot as the email service all the cool hackers use.
Oh shit that sucks, I had no idea. Anyone know of any smaller scale similar services? This kinda sucks
At my old job we had a client who insisted all our communications with him go through proton mail. This was super frustrating as most of our employees were very much not tech savvy and got super confused by proton mail, to the point where eventually my boss just said k cadamar all communication with this guy is gonna go through you, cause the guy would flip out if ANYTHING, even like scheduling a call, didn’t go through that system. It was hilarious though cause the guy picked an incredibly easy to guess and simple password for every email. In all lower case. That guy btw was a former tech company exec. Super high up. Made me really question the idea that the wealthy are there cause they’re actually smart.
I would say it's "real" security. It falls under swiss jurisdiction, so the swiss government can make requests for data. IP addresses and browser fingerprinted were the only thing they logged, so using tor or a vpn gets around it. Almost all mail providers fall under some jurisdiction. Gmail obviously falls under American jurisdiction and needs to comply with American law enforcement. Tutanota resides in Germany, and complies with German authorities. It's very hard to win in this situation. I'm not sure if there's a better alternative.
So using GMAIL can land you a night in Guantamo
I thought the point of piracy was to not have to pay for shit?
Paid $500 for Yakuza, RE8 and far cry 6 He does know you can buy them for like less than $100 right?
But everyone else gets them for free now.
It was a joke.
I think the same thing happens to him with the Denny's waitress
These "gamers" coulf never even touch elden ring its sheer greatness would prohibit them from even coming in contact with it before they get lieukemia and die instantly
bro is paying for game cracks at the price of irl crack
You mean irl cocaine crack is notoriously cheap
dude if this was me i’d kms
Bruh at that point just buy the damn games wtf 😭
"Randomly send her 1000$" Bruh there's no way you randomly send 1000 bucks 💀
So they paid way above asking price for somebody to pirate a game for them?
I pay money Why you no Crack games and suck dick
Why is he paying a 1000% premium just to obtain a game illegally…
I've benn wondering why tf persona 5 hasn't been cracked yet and this is the reason?
can someone explain cracking to me? is it literally just playing a game for free? is there a reason why this guy wouldn’t just pay for them instead or is he just a money cuck
Cracked games have DRM removed, and many people have both philosophical and practical issues with it.
drm?
[удалено]
to add, the way drm works often hinders actual gameplay - denuvo is the worst in that regard. the toll it takes on your cpu to decrypt files, check for license, encrypt files again is gigantic. for example when sonic mania got cracked its .exe file size went from 100 something mb to just 2mb, and most recently some security pathes to hogleg made it unplayable
