Probably a good time to start up a rival mod site that every one will flock too after these guys backpedal on their word.
Something synonymous with Nexus… CapitalMods anyone?
Promise in one hand, shit in the other, let me know which one fills up first.
Won’t monetize to “to death”, just right up to the line of death.
It’ll always be at 1HP from now on.
Define “death.”
- Some lawyer, probably.
'E’s only mostly dead.
As a software engineer i always found nexus simply archaic. Hot take but the molding industry might be better off with a new mod index.
Time to cancel the subscription for fast download i guess.
Reminder that ModDB still exists, and works.
Maaaaaan. Fuck. I really like Nexus Mods. Get ready for another enshittifying ride to the bottom.
I miss FilePlanet. That’s where I got my first Morrowind mods many years ago
At least GameBanana still exists, though there aren’t as many uploads there as Nexus. Still good that there’s an alternative
Does anybody remember Cheat Planet or is that just me
Fileplanet content is back but not how it looks right now.
File a lawsuit. Paying customers are supposed to do that if they were given an explanation but in bad-faith language.
Mod hosting seems to be a great usecase for torrent. It only need a suitable frontend and we are golden.
Someone mentioned this in another thread and I found it interesting:
Ckan kerbal space program mods
Apparently its a frontend for mods that’s hosted on github
Would a federated discovery frontend work? Peertube’s back end of the service would probably work great as a starting point since it uses torrents to ease up on traffic for individual servers
Seems like a good idea. I wonder if there’s anything already similar. It’d be a real treat to see a VC company get shafted.
Hit me up with an addy when you’re on it!
Ooh I’ll take some addy too. Been too long and I need to clean my fuckin house.
Translation: “Once all the hub-bub dies down we intend to as slowly as you’ll allow, slip in monetization.”
Yup we’ve never seen this happen before, not ever. Not once!
/s
Exactly! No venture capitalist has ever taken something that could be monetized but wasn’t, bought it out, and then proceeded to monetize it into irrelevancy before…
Just the tip, you won’t even feel it.
Narrator: they monetised the site to death.
… and beyond!
See all these free mods!? They’re just for you to use however you want to!! Pretty awesome right. Just enjoy this .5mbs download. Oh you want faster download speeds? Well… Sir. That will be $12 a month. Evil laugh
Don’t they already do that?
Tbh, unless you’re downloading a DLC size mod or a big 4K textures pack the installs are nearly instant at the moment
That’s the joke
No they will sell it to someone that will though
„Trust me, bro, we won‘t enshitify, please don‘t leave and make something new elsewhere that’s out of our control.“
