Oh no they won't. Gamebanana is a chore to use and an absolute eyesore. I don't think people are going to want to give up a coherent UI after getting used to Nexus.Looks like everyone will go to GameBanana.
If history is a guide they probably sold it to some conservative religious people who didn't know what they are getting and half of the lewd or controversial mods will be delisted in under a year.
Next time can you please put some context in the OP? That would be really cool, and far better than just a lazy copy/past of a link...![]()
An Update From Dark0ne
After almost 24 years of running Nexus Mods, the time has come for me to step back from the day-to-day management of the site. This isn't a decision I've made lightly - far from it - but one I think i...www.nexusmods.com
There was no context available when I posted it lol. The statement doesn't mention who it was sold to and only cites two anon people as the new leadership of the site.Next time can you please put some context in the OP?

Thanks!
Something like this is good enough (thanks Grok haha):There was no context available when I posted it lol. The statement doesn't mention who it was sold to and only cites two anon people as the new leadership of the site.
I'll try and take a look later tonight and see if anything's been uncovered.
No problemsSomething like this is good enough (thanks Grok haha):
"Nexus Mods founder Robin "Dark0ne" Scott is stepping down after 24 years due to stress, selling the site to new owners Victor and Marinus. He'll stay active in the mod authors' Discord, and most staff will remain. The decision has been made to prioritizes his mental health and ensure the community's future."
Not doing this to trow shade at you specifically, it's not much but I just hate to see a single link in a OP![]()
Again, as this seems to need to be repeated. Nexus was the only place which properly supported APIs, mod managers and cool software like Wabberjack (ex.).Nexus was a piece of shit anyways, so nothing of value can be lost, biased censorship, egocentric devs that looked down on their own players, and a system that constantly tried to get money out of you. It might not be the best place but ModDB kick its ass a thousand times. If it werent because of kids from 2010 that couldnt copy and paste files the site would have died long ago.
I would like to think this could make Nexus better, but it probably wont, the guys that buy it want to earn more money or it would be just a waste of time. On the plus side, other sides would see a rise on popularity.
Again, as this seems to need to be repeated. Nexus was the only place which properly supported APIs, mod managers and cool software like Wabberjack (ex.).
None of the current other modding sides (GameBanana, ModDB, etc.) does that. Despite some issues, Nexus had by far best infrastructure for a modding site, short of Valve's Steamworks supported mods and even with that Nexus offered more flexibility.
I expect all of this to go down the drain though with the new buyer (who they can't even mention apparently). We will see paywalls, raised subscription fees and general cuts to services.
So it's not looking good for Nexus.
I am not too sure about how true this is. So take it as you will.

I'm actually a bit perplexed about the amount of hate Nexus getsPeople want to act like Nexus has nothing to offer because of the Spider-Man mod debacle etc, but if you're going to ignore the hundreds of thousands of other mods that exist in a centralised, easy to find place then you're missing the forest for the trees.
Again, nobody else offers this functionality. It saves literally days of messing around with mod lists. And yes, they charged a very fair amount considering the bandwidth and the need to support the API amongst other things.And? They charge for premium for it and acted like the owners of modding. Not worth it by any means. Modding is a powerful thing by and for the community, you even learn a thing or two by just installing mods on your favorite games.
And yes, they will rise the subscription and many things will be worse, and they had it coming.
I think I've figured out the scoring system. Let me break down the numbers because I think I got this right:Again, nobody else offers this functionality. It saves literally days of messing around with mod lists. And yes, they charged a very fair amount considering the bandwidth and the need to support the API amongst other things.
Now this will probably be all f-d up.
Its just a site which is hosting mods. The real star are the modders.I'm actually a bit perplexed about the amount of hate Nexus gets
People are even saying that nothing of value was lost lol
Textbook a-hole buyout. No wonder they are so silent about it.

Thank christ he's finally banned.Someone from resetera acquired it.![]()
Yep. It's all so weird to see how this all ended up if you've been there since the start. All of this 'banning' mods for political reasons and shiteIts just a site which is hosting mods. The real star are the modders.
Nexus is also a perfect example to show the positive and negative sides of "centralization". It can be a very useful and convenient for users, but it can be also used as a weapon against them. And Nexus decided they wanted to use it as a weapon as well. So yeah, they fully earned this current sentiment.![]()
Eh this seems like a total nothing burger. They're legally required to do age verification in the UK now (and EU?), so they're doing that. They're also going to make sure that adult mods are categorized correctly (good) and they're adding more categories for mod authors to select and users to vote on (also good). They're also scanning screenshots for child abuse (weird and lmao) but again that is just to comply with legal requirements as a website that allows user-generated adult content.![]()

Seems like that's because of the UK/EU nanny state. Maybe bye bye in a lot of European countries, but probably not everywhere. Yet.![]()
