-### Detection
+!!! note "An 'encouragement' to buy DRM-Free version(s) in the future is suggested for launcher."

+    This helps with future preservation of games, and spreads awareness.
+
+### Provide Delta Patches
+
+!!! tip "For some very old games which have releases in multiple regions, providing delta patches may be acceptable."
+
+Likewise, many modders for old games usually make mods that target a specific region's release.
+
+To make things easier for end users, under ***very exceptional circumstances*** we may provide delta 
+patches which transform regional releases of games to the preferred region.
+
+An example of 'exceptional circumstances' are SafeDisc games, which cannot be played ***AT ALL*** 
+on Windows 7+ in their original form. (Modded or not modded)
+
+!!! failure "Redistribution of unmodified game files is prohibited."
+
+    By 'delta patches' we refer to binary diffs (e.g. xdelta, VCDiff)
+    that convert ***only legal installs*** to community preferred game version(s).
