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.

I have a lifetime membership. Let’s hope that doesn’t go down the drain if shit hits the fan.

Not to death, but to near critical I bet

Not even close. Lifetime means until they figure the negative PR is worth axing lifetime memberships.

Someone should be spinning up the next alternative now because zero chance these tech bro 'tards manage not to fuck things up.
At least GOG is getting into mod management too.

Time to move all your mods to loverslab

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.

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!

Can’t you use r2modman instead? Or does an old source mod community exist?

I’ve been talking about how ridiculous Nexusmods is for YEARS now. I’m just glad more people are turning on them.
Alternatives exist. While Nexus definitely has an edge in terms of features, there are some competitors rapidly catching up (eg DEG Mods). This announcement was just the motivation needed to get more people considering leaving that cesspit of a platform.

DEG Mods is catching up pretty quickly.
