An Update From Dark0ne
I started this project back in 2001, in my bedroom, with a 56k modem, an excitement for the upcoming release of Morrowind and with no grand ambitions or intentions. I didn’t set out to build a business, I just wanted to make a place where modders could share their work without worrying it would vanish into the internet either the next time a fansite went offline or a publisher decided they were done with it. That idea grew legs, sprouted arms, and turned into Nexus Mods.
Since then, this site has been my entire adult life. Every single day, for over two decades, I’ve been "on call", whether it was fixing issues, reading feedback, pushing updates, or getting pulled into the latest bit of community drama. It’s been rewarding, sometimes chaotic, often exhausting and always personal. Somewhere along the way, I forgot to step back and breathe, or sleep properly. The dilemma of running a major social network that does not rest!
The strain of being responsible for the behemoth I created has taken its toll. The stress of the job has been a regular source of anxiety and stress-related health issues. I realised that I have been burning out and this started to have an impact on my staff and Nexus Mods as a whole. So, I firmly believe that the best thing for the future of Nexus Mods is for me to step aside and bring in new leadership to steer the business forward with renewed energy to make Nexus Mods the modding community we all truly deserve.
One of the biggest reasons I've been doing this for so long is that I've never felt that I truly found someone who really "gets" the modding community the way I do. Finding a new owner who would be able to understand and respect the myriad intricacies of both Nexus Mods as a business and the wider modding community was essential.
After months of meetings, face-to-face talks, and a whole lot of soul searching, I am thrilled to say that I truly believe I have found the exact right people for the task.
So yes, the ownership of Nexus Mods has changed hands, but I want to be clear, this isn’t some corporate “exit” or a backroom deal. This is me doing something I probably should’ve done years ago: taking care of myself. Reclaiming some headspace. And finally letting go of the idea that I have to do everything and be responsible for everything myself.
What changes now?
Honestly, not a lot, at least not from your side of things.
Behind the scenes, I’ve already been stepping back bit by bit. Over the past few years, the team has taken on more of the weight and the site’s been doing better than ever. What’s changing now is simply the formality of it, making sure the right people are in place to guide Nexus Mods into the next era.
That includes some structural updates to the company ownership that we aren’t shouting about, but I want to be transparent: they’re about long-term stability, not changing the values or direction of the platform. Nexus Mods is community-first and mod-author focused, that’s not up for negotiation.
While I am stepping back, it's important to understand that Nexus Mods isn't just about me and hasn't been for a long time. The Nexus Mods you see today has been created by a team of 40 incredibly dedicated people, some of whom have been here for over 9 years. They live and breathe modding, they care deeply, they’re experienced, committed, and they're very much still here. None of that is changing.
So if I can ask one thing, it’s to continue supporting them, the site, and the community they help nurture every day.
In terms of new faces, you’ll also be seeing more of Foledinho (Victor), Rapsak (Marinus) and Taagen (Nikolai), who’ve come on board to lead this next chapter. They’ve got deep roots in gaming, tech, and most importantly, they give a damn; about the site, the community, and the future we’re trying to build here.
Editor's Note: We've added Nikolai to the new owners listed above. He works more in the background, but is still an important part of the team!
They have my complete trust, and I’m incredibly proud to be bringing them onboard.
What about me?
I’m not disappearing. I’ll still be annoying people on the Mod Author Discord, lurking on the forums, and sticking my nose into community matters when I can’t help myself. I’ll also be working with the team to help guide the overall direction of the site, just without needing to be the person who signs off on every little thing and without taking responsibility for any and all things Nexus Mods.
Frankly, that’s a good thing, for me, for the team, and for the future of Nexus Mods.

Thanks for the warm welcome! We’re as excited about Nexus Mods’ future as you are. This post was all about Robin, giving him the credit he truly deserves. He built something incredible, creating a culture that’s shaped gaming and modding as we know it. We're here to honor that legacy and carry it forward, but we need to earn your trust.
Now, let’s clear the air on a few things:
Trust takes time.
We're committed to putting control back in the hands of creators, players, and communities. We’ll get back to building now.
Marinus, Nikolai and Victor.
I think they might actively pursue this buy, as Nexus is huge and could give them great opportunities to generate cash.
Oh... ick!
Still, at least they point themselves out so we can block them...

... Yes, it' the "SOciAL JusTiCE WarrORs!" who are wanting to upload swastika mods... Yep. That's a thing that happens all the time. O.o

There is no "censorship" happening on Nexus Mods.
The moment you create an account on their platform, you agree to their rules and TOS, which includes their File Submission guidelines:
TL:DR - "Don't publish bigoted mods on our platform or we'll have to remove it."
Don't agree with these rules? NexusMods might not be for you then.
*Chefs Kiss*
Look at Twitch, a dying platform, because all they do is alienate their userbase.
I think what you might not fathom is that... the people who wanna be bigots ARE the minority of users on Nexus. And Nexus has NO reason to cater to them, because the folks that are NOT bigots are who would leave if they start allowing it... and they outnumber the bigots 5 to 1 conservatively.
Also (again) this site is operating under the EU now... and they have pretty strict laws that would get Nexus taken down if they started hosting those kinds of mods. So no... they do NOT need to do that. That would be bad LOL
If they have not relocated their place of business to Denmark, then this statement is incorrect. The United Kingdom is no longer a member of the EU. If the company is still based in England, English law applies.
Put in that what you want.
Company is based in Denmark.
Denmark is part of the EU.
Therefore: Nexus us now under the purview of the EU now.
Yea, it's been two days, my dude.
(Although, to be fair, this is likely you self-soothing with this thought, so I shouldn't be ornery to you about it. Mea Culpa )
Rockin.
Im feelin pretty good with that outcome too LOL
(Sorry to ruin your gotcha, though :P )
How quickly you turn toward the wind. Impressive.
Oh dear... how to make you understand that just so long as bigoted, hateful mods are still unwelcome here, Im happy as a sung little bug in a rug?
That's an absolute *WIN* for everyone who wants to be able to mod without having alt-right Not-See stuff bogging up their feeds.
"Oh! That protection is not happening in the exact way you said it might!"
LOL, and? Anything else, peanut?
Have a beautiful rest of your day! <3
Yeah, seems a one sided argument. I can list several mods that offend each and every one of these.
Seems it only works for the benefit of one group.
Also, everyone here is a bigot as they try to conform others to their views and dislike other views political or religious. If you need help with that definition look it up.
Seems it only works for the benefit of one group."
Care to elaborate on that?
What a banger argument. I wonder if my table will last that long **head <> table**
Hilariously and sadly I've seen someone here argue that because the TOS has changed a few times, it doesn't mean anything.
You know, you really should try to avoid any more head injuries, you're already at a disadvantage, it would seem.
@AleniaVamp2000 Phew, now you've really thrown me a curveball. I'm speechless.
EDIT: Oh i forgot something: sarcasm off
You are making comments on an announcement. You are still bound by the TOS.
But I am also *so happy* you took the empowering steps to remove your mods. Good for you!
I tried. My comments keep getting flagged and banned. I guess there isn't "censorship" here after all **rolls eyes**
Daaaaling, you make nothing but vague statements laced with alt-right talking points that could be taken 5 or 6 different ways, depending on what you're responding to, which you don't provide. (So you can then say "No one is smart enough to understand me!")
You have yet to make an actual point... mostly because if you make a clear statement, that can be argued on facts, and you have shown yourself to not be a fan of those. But I await, with bated breath... Im sure your next bit will be just enchanting.
Wonderful! Then it all balances out. You don't offer much more than leftist talking points paired with framing, name calling, and a lot of emotions. Perfectly aligned with DEI and gender politics.
And there it is.
Oh... it's gonna be a good day.
"Perfectly aligned with DEI and gender politics."
Can you explain to the class what is wrong with wanting Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion?
... ... ... they did start it LOL
WileCoyote68: "@AleniaVamp2000 Sorry to say this but reading comprehension doesn't seem to be one of your strengths."
"Wonderful! Then it all balances out. You don't offer much more than leftist talking points paired with framing, name calling, and a lot of emotions. Perfectly aligned with DEI and gender politics."
"What a clever person you are. In fact, I only signed the terms of service once. Any changes made after that can only be considered tacit consent at best. And now read my statement again, you still don't understand it."
If your interpretation of DEI didn't just refer to marginalized groups but include everyone, then there would certainly be nothing wrong with it. But you are full of hatred and rejection and do not accept anything outside your perfect little echo chamber. That's annoying and disgusting. So please ignore me, just like you said you would yesterday. Was this statement clear enough for you?
Rules for thee not for me. Typical
Either read everything on the subject or leave it alone. Nobody needs this nonsense.
What nonsense? You mean the obvious downplay and disregard for adhering to the TOS regardless when it was agreed upon? Did you forget that TOS can change with/without notifying an individual but they still must abide those TOS? Did you also not know what bigot means? Certain people here are targeting certain groups which violate TOS. So they're being reported. Pot, kettle, does that medicine taste good, etc etc.
"If your interpretation of DEI didn't just refer to marginalized groups but include everyone, then there would certainly be nothing wrong with it. "
What a starter. Explain to me how white, straight males are oppressed to the point of needing special laws to protect them? Tell me, when was the last time a white man was say... lynched by an angry mob. Or kidnapped by authorities, and then trafficked? Or got pulled over for driving while white? As a group, you are simply afraid that if you become the minority, the new majority will do to you what you have done to them... it's a sad way to live one's life.
"But you are full of hatred and rejection and do not accept anything outside your perfect little echo chamber. That's annoying and disgusting."
Naaa fam, I don't hate you. I actually feel pretty bad for you, because you have been fed poison your whole life, given this idea of some beautiful past where everyone had to defer to you and your social power. You're just mad that the world changed, and you might not be the "Standard model" anymore.
BUT: I do reject hate, and abuse, and hold contempt for those that try to justify it. I will protect those that you attack. I will make you say the quiet part out loud so EVERYONE can see the poison you wanna spill out.
So please ignore me, just like you said you would yesterday. Was this statement clear enough for you?
You wanna engage in this convo, I wanna engage in this convo... You can always block me though, I guess... that would be a win lol
And there it is.
Ironic calling things you don't like or agree with "n@zi" while being more like n@zis than the actual n@zis were.
LOL, one of the mods everyone is screaming about being taken down had LITERAL NOT-SEE FLAGS ADDED INTO IT.
Also? I see mods on the Nexus all the time that trigger my personal "Ick Factor". Like the ones that give Skyrim characters giant anime heads and Tattas that have better mapped out physics than a Blue Origin flight. It's a squick for me. Do I think those mods should not be allowed, or removed cause they ick me out? Absolutely NOT. They have every right to be here.
That tolerance ends when the hatefulness begins. Modding out pride flags is trying to erase LGBTQ history and people. Adding in Not-See flags is a test to see if TRUE antisemitic content will be allowed, and if it IS allowed, it will only get so much worse.
Study up on the paradox of tolerance, and get back to me. Hope this helps :)
Oh, don't worry Boo, none of us here expect any of that from you <3
Im speaking for myself, about myself. It's presumptuous of you to assume that Im not on one of those groups, and therefore unable to speak up about it, Boo.
BUT ALSO OF NOTE: No one HAS TO BE represented in said groups to speak up about their mistreatment.
*gigglesnort*
All the PMs thanking me say otherwise my dude, but go off :D
I did not have "Genny told Johnny that Robby said he heard Rita say no one likes Tommy!" on the ol' checklist of "I can't argue my points without looking bad, so I'll just Smarm".
Allow me to let you in on something... Im not here chasing points or social clout or trends, and there is not a single little nugget of f*ck residing in my tiny bones for who likes or dislikes what I have to say.
Now... where were we? Oh, yea, you were trying to shut me up using High School Mean Girl tactics. Right, carry on!
Oh, they understand... ... ...
LOL, "The tide are turning" he said in his anime protagonist voice.
You are right though, the tides ARE turning. The next generation is not going to accept the backslide you are rooting for, they are in fact, actively dismantling the social programming that the regressive are trying to force on them.
So good luck with that :D
It's a Danish startup consisting of gamers, not some psychotic Wolf of Wallstreet dudes. But we are all here to make money and provide for our families.
I've noticed that the new owners' country of origin has come up from time to time here. I'm not really sure why, though. As far as I understand, Black Tree Gaming Ltd (the parent company of NexusMods) will still remain incorporated in the U.K.
In regards to their background, we know they have some roots and specialized interest in the gaming sector, but looking at their social media, they clearly have a streak of buzzword-laden posts that seem to indicate a keen interest in monetization.
100% agreed. I'm not even remotely opposed to them making money. If you're been paying attention, Nexus has been struggling to pay the costs to maintain the site, which has been skyrocketing as of late.
https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/06360077/filing-history *
I believe that Nexus CAN do much better financially without ruining the site.
*Edit: I see there are several new filings this week... Robin Scott (Dark0ne) and a couple others have been terminated from the company and Sovwood Bidco Limited has now taken majority share.
**Edit 2: Info on Sovwood Bidco -- https://x.com/Vara_Dark/status/1935493822256914433 -- they're a shell company. Yeah, nevermind, this isn't good.
We should pick up this discussion in a month or so.
One thing for sure, I would rather see the site crash and burn, than having it go through some kind of elonfication.
I get what you mean, but this is hardly speculation- we are gathering facts. Nor is it a good idea to take a 'wait and see' approach.
It's important to gather this information because we want to know what the new owners are planning to do. They bought NexusMods with a purpose in mind.
The biggest issue right now is that they haven't been as forthright and transparent as we would have liked. It seems they've fessed up about Chosen because the community immediately started doing their own research as soon as the news article was posted. IMO this should have been mentioned right away, front & center.
As far as 'wait and see' -- if the new owners turn out to be less than well-intentioned, it may be too late by the time we find out. This is the time to diversify and back up any mods you can't live without. If they were to move to a paywalled model (which to be frank, I still doubt), it could become very difficult or downright impossible to recover some mods.
NO, just no.
bigot /bĭg′ət/
noun
Seems pretty clear to me in these posts who is using the term properly. Another word I'd add to this would be "irony" and "Contradiction" and my personal favorite, "Conundrum."
Warding intolerant people (i.e. those railing against or wanting to erase lgbt folk and various minorities which is typically the case) from one's diverse and tolerant community does not make one intolerant in turn, it's a bit silly to pretend it does. It has been shown time and again these intolerant people when left unchecked will diminish and ultimately destroy that community because they are intolerant and have objectives antithetical to the continued existence of that diverse community. If they really want to be a part of that (or any) community, they just have to become a little more tolerant, and in turn they too will be tolerated. Seems like a small thing, and a fair exchange. It's kind of a social contract thing, live and let live, all that stuff. I speak in general terms, when talking about the nexus specifically there's the actual site rules, which honestly don't differ much from normal society rules. They can all broadly be summarized as "don't be shitty".
Just in case you don't understand.
based on what I've seen here: mods that swap a black character to a non-black character immediately get nuked. mods that turn a non-black character into a black character are welcomed with open arms.
this goes completely against the so-called "community-first, listening approach".
those who claim to want Diversity, Equality & Inclusion really want an echo chamber of one type of opinion: their own.
like the example I gave above, the black-to-white mods being deleted and white-to-black mods being celebrated. or mods that remove trans flags from a game get deleted, but mods that add them into a game are celebrated.
it's massively hypocritical and 100% opposite of "diversity". Diversity means multiple choices for every walk of life, not only one type shoved down everyone's throat.
if Nexus Mods wants to be an echo chamber for what people describe as"woke content" only, that's just fine. it's their site, they can do what they want with it and anyone who doesn't like it can just leave. as long as they openly admit it.
people respect honesty, not hypocrisy. politician-like speeches about unity and community only to then turn around and do what I described above.
Oh, I would LOVE to hear you explain how working to make the playing field equal for all genders, and minorities hurts you. Im sure it would be a masterclass.
"like the example I gave above, the black-to-white mods being deleted and white-to-black mods being celebrated. or mods that remove trans flags from a game get deleted, but mods that add them into a game are celebrated."
Let me nab the crayons: Mods erasing diversity, created to tell minorities "You're not welcome even in my games" are not allowed because they go against the Nexus TOS. Wanting to hurt a group historically under-represented in games is *bad*.
Mods that *increase* diversity, are allowed, because they don't tell an under-represented group in games to go kick rocks. Or is your implication that there are not enough white males represented in games?
There are no rule that says I have to tolerate intolerance. Besides, it is bad for business and ones reputation.
I know this because I very rarely meet people that says all these horrible things when you are face to face with them in situations that matter.
So somewhere they must know they are in the wrong on a fundamental level.
You use mods to have bigger boobs - bigoted mod as you want to erase flat chest women
You use mods to have bigger and more perfect butt - yes, bigoted, as you might seek to erase people with small butts
You want better skins, makeup, muscles - yes, you guess it
YOU USE MORE MONEY MODS - you hate and laugh at the poor people.
Jokes aside, the so-called bigots here just don't like this is one sided. Replacing a flag or UI text is not erasing people, but Nexus did what it did, opened whole lot can of worms and now this will be insufferable as if it's kept the same, you will keep hear about censorship, but also how bigots are destroyed....and if its reverted back - I think it will be even more scary then
I want to add something here, as I feel that you are making these statements in good faith.
Opening the floodgates to the Alt-Right on this site will burn it to the ground. They will see to that. There will be r@pe mods, there will be lynching mods, there will be "Hunt the GAYS!" mods, and they will FLOOD this place with hate.
Dark0ne drew a line in the sand, I think, because we have seen it happen in real time now with what took place with twitter. And he drew a HARD LINE. And I respect the hell out of him for it. He has caught all kinds of flak for it.
But what I want to address is this idea that every action is tit-for-tat. The idea that the context of the actions of the mod maker are "The Same". When a modder uploads a mod that diminishes diversity (The black to white mod) that is an active choice to say "I don't even wanna LOOK at you. Not even in games." It is an act of contempt, not just a mod.
Equating that tit-for-tat with a mod that increases the diversity of a game is often because... well, most games are centered on the white male experience. (Independent games are better about this, but just by hair) Allowing mods that let under-represented groups experience the game a tad bit more intimately is just not the same thing. And it's not the same thing because these two things do not exist in a vacuum, they exist through our culture, and our culture is STILL actively oppressing these groups.
Anyways, I agree that this should be a nuanced convo, Im just not sure... this is the place for *that*.
isn't the woke left trying to make WHITE PEOPLE a minority at this stage? look at what's happening in Europe. I shouldn't even have to elaborate.
my implication is that hipocrisy is rampant here. you preach about diversity which is about having a bit of EVERYTHING, yet what you really want is an echo chamber filled with only what YOU want.
you clutch your pearls when someone posts a mod that "corrects" a character in a game based on a specific historical background - which you can just ignore because downloading said mod is 100% optional for those who want it. it's called having multiple CHOICES.
but trans flags in games that underage children play - which can easily be interpreted as GROOMING - are fine.
like I said, if Nexus is a woke-left echo chamber, that's just fine. just be upfront about it instead of using politician speech to dodge the question and pretend there's no censorship. that's how they burn their own site to the ground, no help from "the alt-right" needed.
if being a woke echo chamber is a good thing...then why deny it so vehemently? because deep down they know it's not.
so quit the through-the-teeth lies. it's not working for the lamestream media - that's why their ratings tank, shows get cancelled & charlatans like Jim Acosta & Joyless Reid get fired left and right - and it doesn't fly with gamers. but don't take my word for it...look at all the games flopping hard on a monthly basis & studios going bankrupt and shutting down because nobody wants that junk.
I'm sorry to report that despite our best efforts there is still no shortage of disgruntled socially inept white dudes spouting nonsense and picking the wrong targets for their anger and there likely will never be. Here's a helpful guide for those who need it and would like to improve both as a person and the planet in general: punch up, not down (as a general vague guide: authority is upward, minority is downward). I know, it's harder and takes more effort and requires bravery. But it's the right thing to do. As a bonus, it will also make women like you more because as it turns out, being a seething vat of hate for random people who have done you no wrong is kind of a turnoff for a lot of people. Not that you need this of course, you're all strong men who are not desperately lonely. I'm just saying.
Anyway, that gay dude or those blue haired activists out there isn't what is ruining your life. It's very likely the people running the government and megacorporations, because they are ruining everyone's lives and the planet. You should probably also look critically at whoever is whispering this weird stuff about white people being a minority in your ears, they might be lying to you. I wonder why they would do that?
edit: also, I have to ask, in your worldview, how do you explain the success of BG3 and CP2077 which were filled to the brim with "the woke"? Like if games fail because everyone is tired of "the woke" and these two games were both massive successes selling hundreds of millions of copies, what gives? Could it be that these other games and series failed because they were kind of mediocre or just cheap cash-grab attempts, regardless of any political stuff? This theory seems to cover observable reality better.
projecting much? that is the standard programming of a typical "leftish libtard", seen primarily all over tiktok and bluesky - the same bluesky that claims to be all about truth, openness and inclusion yet they ban JD Vance within 15 minutes of signing up before he even got a word in...hmmm where have I seen that before?
any "disgruntled white dudes" would be the ones triggering said "leftist libtards" by poking fun at them on instagram and completely destroying their warped world view with basic life facts.
on the topic of BG3 and CP***...I wouldn't know because I haven't played either of them. but if they are indeed "woke" they certainly sound like a very tiny minority in an ocean of disastrous woke flops. Ubisoft has one foot in the grave, Bioware's name is 6 feet deep in the mud with the Failguard already being a nail on its coffin-in-the-making, and even EA is feeling the heat.
*** it's actually funny how people always name ONLY those 2 games whenever they're trying to prove that going woke doesn't make you broke. they can never come up with any other examples. too funny.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-house/3447180/jd-vance-bluesky-suspension-impersonator/
https://bsky.app/profile/jd-vance-1.bsky.social
Also not really sure how this is relevant to... anything but whatever.
I don't disagree about these companies being crap, but that's less about "the woke" and more about the fact that they keep churning out uninspired samey open world corporate-safe committee-designed garbage imo with too much emphasis on the graphical side of things and not enough on the storytelling aspects or taking any risks, making the games a sad but pretty collectathon and checklist of chores instead of an epic experience. Like, remove all rainbow flags or whatever representation and they would still be mediocre games. I think it's largely because game budgets have grown to hundreds of millions of dollars and that makes the beancounters in charge very nervous and risk-averse. The wrong people are running the industry, and it's not blue-haired activists, it's the beancounters and executives running the companies who are only interested in profits and not in gaming as a medium in which to tell cool stories or have amazing experiences. I know what demographic they belong to (largely middle-aged white men) but I think that doesn't matter, their insatiable greed matters and is what is ruining the industry. Early access buy-in, pre-orders, in game purchases, special/extended/super editions, season passes, loot boxes, complete games sliced up into DLC, level DLC, ending DLC like the actual game end is a DLC wtf, this is the garbage that is making gaming worse, and it's all driven by greed, not gender. If you want to get angry, get angry about being fleeced while being given a subpar experience in the name of profit.
I named BG3 and CP2077 because they are AAA flagship games, have sold hundreds of millions of copies, and are well known by most gamers. I mean if you want a list of other successful games with representation, it's really not hard to find. You'd have to provide an exact and testable definition of "woke" first though, it generally seems to mean "whatever I don't like is woke" for some people, or in some cases it means "anything that isn't a straight white male protagonist is woke", or any of a thousand different claims. You can't really measure anything against such a nebulous cloud of notions (also I'm not really interested but knock yourself out).
What a short-sighted view. These games are successful because the player has a choice. They can make their own decisions without coercion. Compared to other games, they have good character development and tell damn good stories. All the things that other games in the genre that didn't sell didn't have. So your remarks are just another nothingburger. No one needs to shout loudly in one direction or another; they have a much more powerful weapon: their wallet. The more players recognize this, the sooner something will change.
So I guess mostly agree? I'd still like some clarification on what "woke" is nowadays if CP2077 and BG3 weren't it. Is there "good woke" and "bad woke"? Is the complaint really about how the representation is portrayed or integrated into the game?
I can only speak for myself, and from my point of view, that's how it is. In CP2077, every character, regardless of ethnicity, race, and religion, is very well integrated into the story. I have the freedom to decide whether or not I want to start a romance with Judy or Kerry. I have a character editor and can design my character according to my preferences. I don't have to use pronouns or gender. So yes, it matters a lot how representation is portrayed and integrated. I don't buy any game that doesn't give me the freedom of choice unless it is modifiable, and I can customize it to my needs. And if I get a mod here at Nexus doesn't matter. All mods that they ban can be found immediately on other platforms. That's the only notable thing that the DEI orientation of Nexus has achieved. It's as simple as that.
Same should apply to BG3 but I didn't play it as I don't like this sort of game mechanics.
I disagree with the paragraph to which I wrote my comment. Defining the term "woke" is none of my business. I haven't even used it in this entire conversation. So, I will not comment on it.
The following applies to all activists participating in this conversation: I don't care about your opinion. In my own home and on my own PC, I play my games exactly the way I want to, regardless of what you think or feel about it. So please spare me your comments.
I miss the days when there was ONLY MOD as much as you do.
Mourn for the dead Real Nexus Mods website.
I would hope the owners have some kind of morals.
Are we sure about that? From the TOS:
"Inappropriate Content:
Content that may be generally construed as provocative, divisive, objectionable, discriminatory, or abusive toward any real-world individual or group, may be subject to moderation. This includes but is not limited to content involving politics, race, religion, gender identity, sexuality, or social class."
But I fully support the "just don't download it if you don't like it" as this is actually how mods operate. You download the mods that you like and suit you best which also promotes competition in some cases as who will create better mods. Its astonishing how much mods I DIDN'T DOWNLOAD because they didn't work for me. Should I report or complain of such mods? Hell nah, it's my own personal preference, I don't download them, they don't show in my download history, so I look for something else.
Since Nexus don't have mod hide option yet, either Tag blocking or author blocking from profile could work, or simple browser script as well if you don't like something that much.
