Generally when a corpo says they are not doing some thing what they are telling you it’s that that thing is precisely the first thing they are going to do.
And yet we are surrounded by the bones of companies and projects that were killed by private equity.
This is the end of Nexus Mods. It might not be today, it might not be tomorrow, but the cord will be cut the moment it’s not suitable for the new overlords.
Guys, you can trust us! We absolutely won’t do the thing we are known to specialize in! Honest! What? You think we would just go on the Internet and lie??? Nobody does that!
Time to move all your mods to loverslab
Fuck yeah now I can get ALL my mods from the same place
I’m willing to withhold judgement. But, Chosen’s website reads like bog standard vulture capital trying to pretend they are not going to ride in and enshitify anything they touch. With lots of broad claims about being “community driven” and AI art. Maybe this will work out; but, I wouldn’t be putting money on it.
That said, I don’t blame Dark0ne for wanting to step back. He’s be running this wonderful site for the community for a long time and deserves the opportunity to go do other things. I wish him the best of luck and I hope that NexusMods survives this transition.
I have a lifetime membership. Let’s hope that doesn’t go down the drain if shit hits the fan.
lifetime means you or the company, whichever dies first
Not even close. Lifetime means until they figure the negative PR is worth axing lifetime memberships.
Didn’t use it much, but deleted my account anyways.
Can’t you use r2modman instead? Or does an old source mod community exist?
