Nexus Mods' transfer of ownership

[What's His Face]

Not that I really care at all, but I think if they hid nude mods behind a paywall, that'd be hilarious. It would also quite literally cause the biggest meltdown the site had ever seen. I'd doubt they'd ever do it, though.


I'm not gonna lie, I'm way too old to care about any of the controversies that are a result of egotripping mods or whatever. If any mod had a controversy surrounding its removal, the creator undoubtedly found a way to redistribute it. To be honest, I just realized I've been posting in this thread way too much. I'm gonna stop now since I'm not actually adding anything of value to the conversation and like you said, I started to sound snarky. Which wasn't my intention, by the way. More like banter. But tone is difficult to establish through text sometimes. But heyo, cheers for the conversation, all. I hope for all of us that the future of Nexus bodes well.

True, but some would still pay. I can also see locking downloads to no more than 3 per 24 hours, 10 for $10/month, or unlimited at $99.99/month. This includes using a mod manager.

Yes indeed. The largest database of mods on the internet, with the most thorough documentation of the creation and evolution of modding culture, should just cease to exist. Because the same dudes who 'really hate politics in their videogames' had their politically motivated mods deleted. Definitely worth binning the whole thing over that for sure.

You overselling nexus a little too much, moddb is much older and has significantly more impact on "modding culture"
While i don't think nexus should cease to exist. That place is pretty scummy and they deserve all that shit they getting

"Politically motivated" like scantily clad women.

Bin it.

I expect nude mods and the like (like the weird-yet-funny Pregnant Eve mod for Stellar Blade) to be locked under a payment tier at some point.

that would be uhh, funny and scary. i have one mod for the good skin textures which is NSFW, noooo!...

but also i'm not sure you can legally paywall something created for the game you don't own? i mean, this is why some moddevs go to the CreationClub (Bethesda's payed mods shop) - because you're "allowed" to make direct profit from your work there. right? if i understand it correctly.

of course there are countless of ways to monetize (donations and stuff) one's work, but it can't be implemented openly (and not by stealth!) i think.

Believe it! Scantily clad women have become VERY political these days. People have to take a side on everything now and it aligns with people's politics pretty neatly.
