From what I gathered, she's pretty much a genius at cracking

Cracking Denuvo isn't particularly hard as much as it is extremely tedious. Checks are baked everywhere in the game code, so there are (at least) thousands of little edits you have to make, and if only one of them was implemented wrong or hasn't been located (this is gamecode, tied to in-game events), no more game. (This is a flawed explanation, but you get the deal)

It's enough to drive most crackers insane... hence EMPRESS.

I only took 1 Reverse Engineering class in my CompSci program, so I could be wrong... but I am pretty sure it is both extremely tedious and also extremely difficult to crack Denuvo
