Wait, was it confirmed sold? The news post on Nexus fron this morning indicated that the existing head admin and CEO (of 24 years) was just stepping back (and not even away entirely), and had already put the year+ in of identifying two successors from his existing team.

I didn't see anything regarding a sale, and the existing admin said quite a bit about taking this seriously from a standpoint of what's best for mod makers and users and not best for business profits.

Edit: I'm not seeing any company name given because as far as I can tell, it wasn't sold. It's the same company, same employees, the person at the tip top is just shifting.

And since when is "comicbook dot com" a source for game modding news? Unless someone can show me something from a more direct or reputable source, I think this is just someone running with the most click bait interpretation of the nexusmods post.

Edit x2: Dormedas's resetera link has some convincing investigation that the two people named as taking over the reigns may work for a company that provides esports training, and also consulting services for user generated content focused companies.

Sounds like people need to start taking their mods off of there quick.

I’ll probably keep using it and see what happens. To be honest I’ll just go where the content is, and if the new people fuck it up it’ll likely go elsewhere.

Could have been worse. My first initial on reading the title was that some enshitification factory like Fandom. com or Microsoft had bought it

edit: wait nevermind. Chosen apparently is a literal enshitification company

They had a good run. It was fun while it lasted.

I wonder if someone could upload a snapshot of it to the Internet Archive.

This is shit but... if people weren't already concerned over the massive monopoly that Nexus had then they weren't paying attention.

I uninstalled Nexus Mods. Thank you.
