What brings you back—rage, boredom, or did rusty promise you a cake?

Nexusmods transfers petabytes of data per month.

Thats from a few power users who can pay for that. Should be mostly collections and giant overhauls or mods like Nehrim/Enderal if they are also hosted there, which take so much bandwith. Those would then need to be hosted by their creators as torrent or they need to upload it google drive or something.

fNexusmods is a service ran for profit, they should be squeezing the people that have the money using the leverage they have

They can try but piracy finds a way, always. And most people use it because its free.

The funniest thing is that, chances are Nexus may have been able to run on ads just fine if they had allowed the mods they were constantly censoring to stay up.

But no, they chose ideology over profit. They refused to see how the wind was changing and went broke by staying woke.

Most people simply don't pirate, especially in western countries.

They'd see the slow download, see the warning from Nexus telling them that bandwidth has been restricted to be fair to all games blah blah blah if you wish to download faster you may contact publisher X here and let them know to sponsor Y game blah blah blah

Ads don't pay **** anymore, it's why every company is moving(or moved) to alternative ways of funding. Nexus has long gotten most of its income from their subscription AFAIK, and the main reason the lifetime subscription was taken away.

Gee I wonder what kind of pole smoking ******** are going to be in power over there now. AIDS research has been such a detriment to society, in a just world these ******* would all be dead already

[UltraFan123]

AIDS research has been such a detriment to society, in a just world these ******* would all be dead already

Afaik, the only reason AIDS research became a thing was because Freddy Mercury - a high-profile ****** - died from it.

Had no super famous artist died from AIDS, then nobody in the world would've known nor cared about it.

yes but these usually play on console, people who want a pc usually also want mods and know how to get stuff for free.

more like pedobytes in their case

[SoLong]

Let's hope the new owners monetize the **** out of that website and squeeze those insufferable ****** and tumblrellas for ever penny. I want the site to burn while I fiddle to the shrieks of enraged landwhales.

Dear god, that goodbye post though. I've never seen a site owner stroke themselves off quite that publicly while selling out. Rest In **** Nexusmods, may a hundred mod websites sprout in your wake so modding can finally grow without your insufferable stranglehold.

Eh, enough ******* would've died eventually that they still would've prioritized it

Oof. What are the chances a gamer and not a ****** takes over?
1%?
Less?

It's over for nexus trooncels

[Tweed]

If I were to suggest a tactic it would be copying Netflix(during their rapid expansion years) and applying a global bandwidth limitation across all users on a per game basis and allowing publishers to optionally pay to increase this. This would leverage their massive library of mods as a weapon, Bethesda and similar would be coerced into paying because it would be too difficult to switch to alternatives at this point.

Why would a publisher/devs pay for recurring cost like that when they can just release the mod tool kit and not have to deal with the upkeep services?

Because they host 90% of the mods people want

And the other 10 percent is on Loverslab.

Which leaves RPGHQ with....

Everything here seems to make sense though for a profit-driven F2P except the creaming over NFTs.

EDIT: Unless they're referring to in-game crap as the NFTs, but even then.

"Play-to-Earn" is cancer with AIDS for gaming.

They don't care about that, they care about profit.

[Godjjjita]

Nexus made me learn to appreciate games without mods. Only mods I install now are DEI removers and maybe bugfixes if needed, hopefully found outside nexus.

[rusty_shackleford]

I'd be surprised if NexusMods is even profitable.

[SoLong]

I'd be surprised if NexusMods is even profitable.

According to some industry estimates it's about 10 million per year. This is just from subscriptions and ads, it doesn't count any kickbacks they might get or DEI money infusions.

[Magick]

It will not allowed to discriminate ******* in it's own room.
It will be love *******.
It will be choose *******
It won't mod ******* out of the game
It will be happy.

"The developers made choices and these should be respected"
On a modding site, lol...

[NotAI]

Honestly, nexus sucked a long time ago too, even in the morrowind days; the guy who ran it was very annoying to interact with in my experience, it merely got a bit worse over time, as most things tend to.

[LemonDemonGirl]

Hope this kills Nexus

Plot twist: it won't.

Pathetic.

God I hope ai replaces these *******. They are replicable, and they know it.

If they're losing money, then yes, something must be done to turn things around. If they're currently profitable then your suggestion is just Jewish.

"profits are Jewish"

Give me all the extra money you make or you are the biggest hasidic ****-blood sucker in the world

I didn't say that profits are Jewish. I just take issue with the notion that being profitable is on its own insufficient -- rather you must twist and squeeze those around you for all the profit. It is avarice.

OK, so what's the line? How much profit are they allowed to make?

You should always do that to people who don't deserve money (like game developers).
