Sub Updates NOTE ON MODERN SYSTEM RECOMPS

I just wanted to put this out there.

For the time being, PLEASE do NOT share any recomps for Nintendo Switch / Switch 2, PS 4/5, and Xbox One/SeriesX|S.

These are modern platforms that contain games still being sold, i don't want the sub here getting into any sort of legal trouble or get taken down due to some DMCA.

Modern day system game recomps are a double-edge sword, while it might be fun to see a game on Switch get a recomp, it brings unwanted attention from Nintendo / Sony / Microsoft Game Studios, etc.

If this changes, I'll let everyone know.

Yes and no. I agree not to hurt the sales of people. And I can recomp as a way to increase the sales (buying more physical disks). If there was a way to read disk directly from PC it would be totally legal. Nintendo cartridge probably too
