CDRomance Forced Underground: Fan Translation and ROM Hack-Sharing Site Threatened Legally

TL;DR Summary
CDRomance, a popular fan translation and ROM hack-sharing site, has moved its hosted files off-site following a legal challenge. The site, known for providing pre-patched ROMs of fan-translated games and fan-made improvements, complies with the DMCA but has faced pressure from IP holders. Critics argue that the removal of such sites hinders video game preservation, as fan-made versions are crucial for making older games accessible to new audiences.
