So i came across a title I haven't thought about in +20 years, and I'm trying to weigh the options of edits that probably need to happen.

Furcadia is an extremely old and niche MUD/MMO that is highly editable with custom pixel and sprite art. Literally has been an ongoing and updated game/app since 1996. Think of it I guess as a pixelart and UGC version of PS Home or Second Life.
All the updates have generally been ongoing and minor, but there are some here and there that push it past the point of an Update entry. More to the point, they had a successful Kickstarter in 2012, "Furcadia: The Second Dreaming".

Now, I personally have no problem making a new Update page for Second Dreaming. The main obstacle I see right now is 2 fold:
-
The main Furcadia entry is using the The Second Dreaming cover, which pretty clearly violates the guidelines. So trying to track down a proper cover for a 27 year old, PC only, F2P game will be a challenge, much less make one that comes off as accurate. Plus finding time-specific screenshots/videos.

This "could" be a moot concern if I understand correctly that Update cover art is supposed to overwrite the root title's category on Twitch when I make the Update page. I just want to know if I have that understanding wrong and it's actually something Twitch does on their end for special cases like Fortnite?
