Nexus Mods' new owners promise they won't monetise the site to death as users panic at the whiff of venture capital: 'The new owners are here… not sitting in a distant tower, remotely directing us all towards some nefarious goals'
"We won’t compromise on what’s made Nexus Mods special."
Hmm where have we heard that before? Any eta guesses?
5 months.
2 for the new owners to come up with a plan on how to extract the most value from their purchase.
1 to implement a shitty idea that will immediately get community backlash, then revert it.
2 to wait for people to forget about it before introducing the same idea but presented in a less shitty way.
If I was to place any bets on what they would do, it's either going to be: selling comments and mod descriptions to a corporation for LLM training; or adding time-tracking analytics to their modding client and selling that data to advertisers or research firms while making users require a subscription to use third-party clients.
