As if it wasn’t already.
Talk about putting part of your life’s work completely out to pasture.
I give it a year. What a shame.
No kidding. And his post saying it was in good hands knowing full well it’s venture capitalists. Fuck him.
I’ll give it 8 months before it’s dead
Thats what they all say when they get acquired. “Won’t change our creative direction” type bs.
Make it a legally binding contract, otherwise don’t bother promising.
I wish I could say this surprised me, but I’ve kind of been expecting this for awhile. They’ve been slowly getting worse for years, it went from just a hobby project to a corporation.
If there was one god damned example of any company saying this and sticking to it I might believe them. But I have yet to be proven wrong. Sucks too as they were my go to for mods.
All the examples I could think of have been recent acquisitions… which means they just haven’t soured… yet. Sadly its inevitable.
Maybe this is what it will finally take to get some of the bigger game communities off Nexus. It’s a decade overdue.
They’re definitely gonna monetize it to death.
venture capital
Aaaand it’s gone.
This is tragic. I have been on NexusMods since the 2000s. I learned how to mod games because of that site. I will be pouring one out for this landmark of a website after work today. Paid for Lifetime and everything, because the website made it easy to find, install, and update mods for any given game that supported mods. Damn, man. Damn.
Nexus is dead, Start making a new one.
Pinky promise?
I think the new owners will fark NexusMods to death and you should start looking for a backup site to host your mods.
Time to cancel the paid subscription for fast download i guess.
