Honestly is NexusMods profitable? It’s hard for me to imagine it is. For the longest time I had a free account until I bit the bullet and went premium, but part of me feels like I’m in the minority.

lets hope this doesn’t turn into overwolf-curse situation where overwolf pissed off enough modders and mod-users they had to release standalone curse app after all

It is the biggest website for mods atm.
Lets hope it wont go down hill after that.

They found out who they sold it to. It’s some shitty monetization company. There’s a post about it on Skyrimmods.
“users will be seeing more of two people, who Scott identifies as “Foledinho (Victor)” and “Rapsak (Marinus),” as they have “come on board to lead this next chapter,” Scott says. “They’ve got deep roots in gaming, tech, and most importantly, they give a damn; about the site, the community, and the future we’re trying to build here.””
So do local backups of your fav mods fellas, enshitification incoming

Can it get worse? From a technical perspective the site is a train wreck.

The site has been extremely censorious and ideologically biased for a long time, I wonder if this will make it worse or better… ah who am I kidding, things always gets worse.

Hosting costs on a site with that many downloads must be crazy.
Im not sure who can afford to make an Open/Free version of it now that Nexus will likely be dead.
I cant afford another site hosting like that. Its clear Nexus didnt make a ton of money either.
