Until it’s not. I don’t see anyone handling it as well as the original owners.
Yeah. I have a feeling we're going to loose a lot of modding history through slow rule changes and people that made mods years ago not fighting to keep their mods up.
it slow but people that likes to do archive should have their own mirror of things.
For mods the better approach would probably be that each game community host their own mod portal. No single point of failure.
Ever try finding the websites of old mods? Each project having it's own site just means it will be quietly lost when you aren't looking. You need a system when each project hosts a mirror other projects. Storage is cheap and the bandwidth demand for old mods will be minimum by then.
Nexus is basically dead to me.
Naive if you think this is only going to stop at pointlessly banning NSFW mods. This is only the beginning of the enshitification.
I don't even use NSFW mods, I'm just not gonna stick around as some soulless corporate entity slowly destroys the site.
something something uncomfortably prescient metaphor... 😶
Loverslab exists, they probably have what you're looking for
This but unironically
We need more modding sites.
Hmmm, bit curious about the automated enforcement system, but they claim the newly unallowed content already wasn't allowed before and they're just changing the wording of the terms.
Yeah, corpos always claim that. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, we just changed some words, it doesn't actually have any practical effect....
Yeah, well if it doesn't then why bother doing it?
I hope Lovers Lab doesn't suffer the same bullshit of "oh noes,
nudity and sexare illegal!"
