Can't you use r2modman instead? Or does an old source mod community exist?
Time to move all your mods to loverslab
Fuck yeah now I can get ALL my mods from the same place
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.
You can trust us! We use words! See, I'm saying things and that means it's set in stone and I'm totally not lying! We just spent the money out of charity, we're not looking to get an immediate return on investment and then increase profit from there on! No, never!
Not to death, but to near critical I bet
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.
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.
Ah man, I'd been holding off on setting up another TES game on my PC since going to Linux. Now I'm going to have to go pre-emptive mod shopping for the essentials, and do it for so many games!
It's a real shame that between crypto currencies, federated servers, and bittorrent we still haven't come up with a fair and robust system for hosting large content archives.
The need for corporate-funded servers is killing video sites, mod sites, emulators, streaming, libraries, and so much more. Even the "self-hosted" crowd is like 90% dependent on cloud-hosting companies.
Someone should be spinning up the next alternative now because zero chance these tech bro 'tards manage not to fuck things up.
Moddb still exists
At least GOG is getting into mod management too.
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.
