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'

    The new owners are so trustworthy that they weren’t even transparent about who they are. In the comments of the original announcement they defend that with:

    This post wasn’t about Chosen — it was about Robin and the legacy he built over 24 years. We’re the new owners and ultimate decision-makers at Nexus Mods. We’ll share more about ourselves when we’ve earned that right. For now, we’re focused on listening, learning, and making modding even easier, and yes, you’ll see us around in the community being active.

    I can’t say I find that statement to be particularly trustworthy given it’s coming from an NFT bro.

      Yeah, you don’t start out as a folk hero by hiding behind a black screen and waiting for the right moment to pounce. Sorry NFT dude.
