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.

Nexus is dead, Start making a new one.

venture capital

Aaaand it's gone.

Talk about putting part of your life's work completely out to pasture.

I give it a year. What a shame.

They're definitely gonna monetize it to death.

I think the new owners will fark NexusMods to death and you should start looking for a backup site to host your mods.

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.

Well they've promised so that's that. No story here.

Make it a legally binding contract, otherwise don't bother promising.

I’ll give it 8 months before it’s dead

Probably a good time to start up a rival mod site that every one will flock too after these guys backpedal on their word.

Something synonymous with Nexus.. CapitalMods anyone?

Pinky promise?

Thats what they all say when they get acquired. "Won't change our creative direction" type bs.

Maybe this is what it will finally take to get some of the bigger game communities off Nexus. It's a decade overdue.

So, just half to death then?

Ok, so what is the current alternative nice option for SkyrimSE mods?

Preferably one with a mod manager/download client. Vortex is kind of janky but it did the job. I'd prefer not to manage any of this stuff manually, like cavemen. it's been decades you shouldn't need to do that

As if it wasn't already.

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.
