Oh nooo does this mean they're going to start forcing an agenda into their mod website? Wait...

>>712829797 (OP)
they are going to remove 'sexualized' mods. download everything now.

>>712833119
Dark0ne was based you like it or not, in the end he was forced to act certain ways, new owners will go that way ten times faster and worse.

>>712833302
Not disagreeing I don't know anything about the admin politics on nexus but it's been on a rapid decline anyways and that'll hopefully push people into an alternative faster

It's intentional

Well, they weren't blocked before, until the sites blocked them. So the purpose wasn't defeated until it was.

>>712838675

Discord is one of the WORST things that ever happened to the internet. Shitty ass gatekeeping bullshit.
And lets not forget Patreon cuck cancer too, second worst thing.

Since it's over, do we build a proper mod site, /v/? Without the looney censorship.
Or where should everyone mass exodus to?

>>712841947
A new mod site won't work because everyone will either point towards Gamebanana (dogshit) or the aforementioned shitcord servers (bigger dogshit).

Never gonna happen anon-kun.. you fucking wish, I also fucking wish.
Theres shit like gamebanana which is also just a different taste of the same cancer and unreliable, and other minor sites no one cares about.

You're spot on about ProtonMail, they don't let you accept verification emails without verifying your phone number "because of misuse"
It hasn't been good in a long time. The textnow numbers and stuff make you pay to use them for verification too. As for the VPNs real schizos use mullvad and mullvad only

This is good news.
With any luck someone gets cagey enough about corporate ownership and alternative is made.
Worse case scenario it gets run worse than it already is, and someone makes an alternative after a period of shittiness.

If you had bothered to actually explain anything, you would have a leg to stand on. Someone demanding that you hunt down a link to the specific event/post/whatever that you remembered and told them about is being an insufferable ass. But if you just make a vague accusation with no substantiation whatsoever, you are the fag. Kill yourself.

>>712851928
>The less centralized things are, the better they are for us.
No the fuck they aren't. We already live in a hellscape of things that aren't even particularly old being lost to time because they were hosted in some obscure way like a filehost link on a forum. Backup efforts are nowhere near good enough. There was a massive pornography community on tumblr and most of it is utterly impossible to find now. Content is just gone. Discord can't be archived AT ALL.

>>712836483
Let me explain the situation using the common sense you NPCs sorely lack: the shitlib owner of the Nexus did what you retarded leftists do every single time when presented with the opportunity: throw the cause under the bus and run with the money.
This will result in the site going to shit soon due to corporate idiocy, and mods going to some other place instead of that censorship infested shithole.
All in all, a win for humanity.

>>712852856
We're at the point where we need a site dedicated to just being the centralized backup. A place where people can post their google drive folder of a thing and other people actually have a hope of finding it because it isn't tucked away in some obscure webforum. And then some redundancy can be applied, the content being rehosted in several different places, all linked, and kept alive. Hell, even shift it into a dedicated backup torrent tracker. The Internet Archive isn't really this, not yet.

wait a minute, I download actual gameplay mods and don't get so triggered by blacks or pride flags existing I feel the need to create a safe space from them, so I don't think this actually affects me. have fun you guys.

>>712848419
literally illegal to not have moderation in the eussr and bongladesh

>>712853584
You honestly think those gameplay mods aren't going to get moderated or monetized as well?

>>712848419
Because then you get stuff like Armored Core 6's decal upload website where half of them were fake codes and onlyfans referals

>>712853751
The only country where its illegal to not moderate a online game is China, because they want to control what people are saying about the CCP

>The days of PC gaming are numbered
Modern gaming already killed it, especially with the proliferation of Unreal since all the normies "think" Unreal is mod-friendly when all the mods that come out for Unreal games are just skin, audio or small stat changing mods. Not something in the leagues of the old Stalker games, total war or even elder scrolls/fallout with full conversion shit.

>>712852856
You would think the people currently using discord to develop and distribute their mods would want a way for their own work to be backed up and archived but apparently not, ya know?

Maybe a new more corporate ownership will stop letting people pull their mods when they have a meltdown, given that any lost content is lost monetization. That would be nice.

>>712854512
I miss demo disks

>>712852856
>We already live in a hellscape of things that aren't even particularly old being lost to time
This ties in with the new standard of games being continuously updated (instead of going gold then having a post-release manual patch and expansions released) and forcing mods to be continuously updated (and existing in a workshop that integrates with the latest revision or a host that makes older files inaccessible). Want to play an older version of the game? Enjoy playing it vanilla because the versions of the mods compatible with it are fuckin' GONE, kiddo.

>>712854320
Oh, that's coming, after the censorship wave

>>712829797 (OP)

do I need to remind you of all the drama that happened when Nexus tried to start archiving old file versions

>>712829797 (OP)
So nothing changed?

>nexus made it easy
no it didnt it made you login. You shouldnt have to login to dl mods. They just wanted to track people to sell the data.

>>712857454
That doesn't mean nexus didn't make modding easier that just means it came at a cost

>>712857454
>You shouldnt have to login to dl mods.
This. All the mods also are not very easy to install, it should be very easy process, but since it's not (not anymore at least), I have to assume the people left in the modding community are incompetent hacks.

>>712857558
Modding shouldn't cost shit

>>712857175
Yeah I accept all cookies, dont run adblockers and dont have a password on my wifi

>>712857772
I agree with you, but it did and Nexus is still what turned modding into basically a 1 click install

>>712857875
Do you have a bluetooth watch that also emfs you?

If they actually remove nude mods in games the site will crash and burn and something else which will allow those mods will quickly take its place. If they want to absolutely fuck themselves they'll do that. Otherwise, nothing will change and everyone (sort of) wins

>>712857875
It's true I'm posting this from your wifi right now, come outside I've got beer let's get the BBQ going

Is creating an account really a huge deal? It's not like you're geoblocked or anything... I mean they could implement something like that.

nexus uses account creation as a form of censorship.
Basically they put nsfw filters on everything bit strangely only on some sections like the Bethesda sections.
Effectively hiding mods from people who dont login.
No such issue exists on the cp2077 section for example where the same sort of mods are not filtered at all.
It enables censorship and its an attempt to bait people to register so they can see the mods

>>712859165
Who said trust?

>>712859272
That doesn't answer the question of "Is creating an account really a huge deal?".

>>712859443
It is, their passwords are like 15 characters long. Everytime I log into that dogshit site I've to recover the password.
It's a pain in the ass.

>>712859443
>and its an attempt to bait people to register
Think it through, Anon.

>>712859545
You're the one seemingly not thinking this through.
Ranting about why you dislike the reason you think they're trying to make you create an account doesn't answer the question of how difficult making an account is.
It takes like, 15 seconds and never affects you in any way whatsoever. I really don't see why you can't just do it and never worry about it again.

>>712859827
I'm not him. "Bait people to register" implies that there is a motive to have people registered. What might that be? Again: Think it through, Anon.

It's liability waiver or something by creating an account you are confirming to be of certain age. Don't think there is anything "DEEPER" than that. Mostly to cover their asses possibly maybe?

>>712860212

Their moderators are literally hugbox reddit tier retards. Its not a coincidence that literal transgender porn addicts started flooding their moderation when nexus began embracing nsfw mods.

Do people not remember elianora? one of the most infamous tranny (I think biological female?) modders who tried to pull strings and get authors banned for making "misogynistic" content? eventually even she got BTFOd by the literal trannies when they ruled in favor of having porn mods without restrictions.

Nexus is just a melting pot of tranny degenerecy and genunely greedy cunts.

It was already a censorship-addled tranny hive. It's not like who owns it matters at this point.

>>712863762
>elianora
I haven't heard that name in a long time. Not sure if it was true or it could have been a different modder all together but I was hearing that they were stealing assets from other modders to create those "comfy" house mods and also others like clothing. Could also be misremembering

>>712862282
They've left the Elin mod alone for some reason despite usually being a buncha pearl-clutchin' trannoids about anime stuff so I'm good for now.

You are an actual retard lmao I never disagreed with you. Read the whole post from start to finish and don't skip any words. It's really not a tough one to understand. Yes, I know there are other email providers. I never fuckin implied I didn't. I said your data is still accessible on a throwaway account if you use the big email providers. The reason I said it was to make the point that you should use a different email provider. Does your mom know your browsing /v/ without your helmet again?

They do though anon, there's hundreds of thousands of mods that are hosted there and only there, that you can't get anywhere else because the mod author was autistic and didn't want anyone reuploading his shit anywhere else then disapeared to go jerk off to hentai or something and never came back to modding.
I have a random fucking mod for skyrim that adds another Khajiit head I can pick which is really, really well made and looks cute and shit blah blah blah however.
This mod is only on nexusmods, and requires another mod to update it and repackage it to even use, this other mod is ALSO on nexusmods.
There's also the ten trillion requirements you need, and the fact that almost every mod manager is linked to nexus.
We're looking at the modding equivilant of the loss of the library of alexandria.

Although it could really be that bad, I think a lot of people are severely overreacting.

The most likely scenario is that basically nothing happens for a year and then they'll add daily bandwidth caps and give the site a death by a thousand cuts over the course of many years. It's not going to happen quickly so there's no reason to panic.

The biggest problem is that everyone will probably retreat to Patreon and Discord but, again, that won't happen overnight and really it's already been happening for a while.

suck it up fags, Nexus is like PCGW; a pillar of PC gaming. It has some rot now, and it will likely spread exponentially going ahead, but in these glorious last 2 decades, it has been a veritable reverse library of Alexandria, with everything around it burning down.

is this the step we finally needed for someone to make a real effort to produce a competing website

>For those of you that don’t want to read through all the business-bro jargon here’s EXACTLY what they plan to do based on their model:
>Nexus will remain as it is for a year or so until the acquisition becomes less in the forefront of people’s minds

>After a certain period they WILL begin to implement changes to the current monetization model: ads and premium membership

>First change will likely be the addition of ads-per-download. They will start by having you first watch an add before your first download of the day. Over time this will slowly get ramped up over the years until you’re watching an add every few downloads, then before every download.

>The length of the ads will start short and unassuming, maybe even enjoyable, but they will slowly begin to creep up in length and wander in relevancy until you’re watching dishsoap ads on a gaming website. Just think about the way YouTube changed from 2008 to today where ad lengths have crept up and skipping has been turned off for certain ads

>LE BLACKROCK
Aren't you tired of this faggotry? The site had problems in the past and still need to be dealt with. The guy who ran this thing for 20 years did a reasonable job, but its understandable for him to not have to try and deal with the continued growth and dealing with all the bullshit of its expansion; I'm kinda surprised he lasted this long.

Still, the censorship garbage is the big issue. No matter if it was coming from him or some moderators he's employed, that needs to end. I suggest everyone who gives a shit about it POLITELY go back to the comments when they open again and mention you want evenly applied, clear policies. If the new owners see that its better for them to allow everything rather than removing things some find problematic of the
>You can't replace pride flags with american flags, but you can replace american flags with every variety of tumblrfag pride flag and that's great
>You can mod all the characters into blacks, but you can't mod any black characters into whites. You can turn everyone into a tranny, but you can't replace a tranny modded into a cis character
>Fire Emblem Fates and Engage decensorship fan translations aren't permitted (though this is more gamebanana vs nexus but still)
Push back against this kind of garbage. Nexus has its value because its a centralized repo fo almost all mods - if they want to clearly draw certain lines or whatever that's fine, but letting random mods make
>uh this is offensive to me, heckin problematic
decisions that is not a viable path forward. After all, Nexus wouldn't be where it is today or even capable of monetization if they decided to cut all the adult Fallout/ElderScrolls mods that I'm sure some felt were very objectionable.

The core of modding is the user doing what they want with their game, and sites that claim to be a central repository in support of that should uphold that viewpoint. Also, Nexus has some great FOSS utils; hope they're updated

Stellar Blade caused this didn't it?

>>712866724
There's no overreacting. I've seen far too many times a site being destroyed by a change of hands, within months usually. We'll have to do something before it's too late.

>>712829797 (OP)
Aside from all the censorship and drama that shit hole has been dying ever since steam took over as the main location for most game mods.
Nexus today is mainly only good for Bethesda mods and if you were smart you'd have downloaded whatever you wanted for your version of the game a long time ago.
Beyond the site censorship they constantly have autistic mod creators sperg and delete everything because someone in one of the comments called them a fag.

The only way to preserve any of this longterm would be if someone shamelessly mirrors it all.
If they ever get AI good at making 3d models most of these mods will become irrelevant anyway since it will be trivial to create whatever you want yourself.

bump

>>712882859
Eventually there will be a site where we can just pirate the paid mods. This sucks but I see that if mods go fully paid, then there will be places to pirate said mods. If that site is designed well enough, it will either become the new nexus or be bought out and the cycle repeats again

>>712829797 (OP)
Just use ModDB you gay ass fags. I don't know how anyone can stand Nexus other than for Bethesda shit

>>712829797 (OP)
Nexus has always been one of the most pozzed site out there.
They literally banned a mod that turns lesbian into straight, but they allows a mod that turns the straight girl into lesbian.
Same thing with skin tones;
>White to Black? Allowed.
>Black to White? Banned.

If they remove "coom" mods then the site is dead. Then again, there's no reason for jewrock to remove their biggest traffic/income.
Point is, nothing going to change.

>>712866724
>Patreon and Discord
This is the worst possible thing for modding. Its bad enough that zoomers seem to do all their projects in their little bubbled sekrit clubs. Even worse when they monetize everything. I have no interest in seeing mod discovery go down the toilet and the only file backups are on some Google Drive or whatever the fuck linked from the discord. Patreon is even worse and leads to bad behavior of mod devs - much like how oldfag pirate scene was antithetical to paying to crack yet when we had to deal with that fucking obnoxious NFO troon who had a discord harem of orbiters and took $500 to pick the next game to crack. Fucking disgusting how far we've traveled from the old ethos of the Internet in such a short period of time, but all we can do is push baclk.

>Nexus new owners, some suggest are basically some techdouche focused on monetization?
If that's the case then that's a bigger problem on one side, and maybe a lesser one on censorship - provided they don't keep the same mods or at very least ensure they enforce the actual TOS rather than whatever the fuck they feel is objectionable.

I wish modders used github, for the ones that do it's so much better.
a lot of the mods I follow for X4 have been abandoned over the years but the repos are still active cause whoever is playing at the moment just does a PR to fix it.
even if the original mod author never comes back I can just play some random dudes fixed fork and not have to go hunting for another version with a different name like on nexus.

Steam is awful for mods sometimes. If the mod maker uploads a breaking change then you're fucked and are forced to download it.
