      Why would they be removed from Nexus? If the developer is wanting to do that, more power to them

        Because the endgoal is that something like the nexus can’t exist as only mods published through CC can be loaded.

          That’s a fair thing to be concerned about, but until we have signs that’s what’s happening, there’s no need to act like the sky is falling

            Yeah, people kept saying that when people like TotalBiscuit were warning against micro transactions, paid DLC, pre-sales, etc becoming the norm.

            Now the entire industry is shaped around it.

            But it’s the start of the slippery slope, and having a mindset like yours where it’s more or less “wait until it happens then attempt to do something” is what allows shit like this to happen.

            It’s better to prevent it all together than it is to slowly accept the enshittification of what are, ultimately, passion projects or things people do for fun.

              Exactly. There’s assloads of precedent that if you allow a single company to normalize this crap, it’ll be an industry wide thing within 5 years.

              It happened with paid DLC, it happened with Microtransactions in full price games, it happened with pre-sales, it happened with subscription fees and season passes in full price games.

              People keep pulling this “bwah, it won’t be so bad”, for it to get 10x worse than anything we expected.
