Nexus is slowly becoming the Google of mods.

Great, in terms of achivement for the website creator(s). It takes some serious work to build a very large website that is trusted by many. Building a massive thing is not the issue, what happens to the little guy when they are forgotten is.

 

Bad for individuality and freedom. Because authority (even perceivied) begets power.

Don't like a particular user? Bam f*#@ him ban. Lols.

 

I've never been a fan of forced account creation, especially if you basically effectively have to in order to access a certain part of a game, you could alleviate this somewhat by offering atleast a reduced version that requires no login but maybe 20% less download speed for a overnight download. The only reason I created this account is I effectively have a gun to my head forcing me to if I want mods.

If I need a particular mod as it is? I am forced to share my private information with you "Nexus" in some capacity.

Why allow any "no account download" at all?

Not because you earn anything doing it, but because you are turning into google. Essentially your status as a private company I call into question because you are simply gaining to much of the "market".

It's the reason why people dispute some protections google has because it's simply to large and essential to be called a private operation anymore. Google became effectively the town square and you have nowhere else to go, they have monopolised the market in what they do. It's one thing to ban someone or whatever, even be that registering a account, it's another to ban access to the town square.

 

I am effectively coerced if I want anything proper regarding modding. Yes I know Love*** exists but that is not the issue here and a poor solution because it does not adress the issues I have with this website. The issue is simply that you are becoming to big, to much monopoly.

 

Think it over. A decent reply on this would be nice, if you think I am wrong about the nexus becoming to big and in the style of what google used to be "do no evil" (they are doing more evil today than good, they even dropped the motto, atleast a tiny bit of self awareness), then give a proper argument for why this should continue as is and why The Nexus should have this much power over the game mod market.

Trouble is, Nexus has recently made a few decisions that seriously eroded that trust with the very people that provide the content. Not a smart move.

Are you proposing they do a worse job so they lose market share and maybe capable competition appears? I'm missing the punchline here.

Not alienating your content providers would probably be a good idea....... If you can't see that, then you need to wake up.

Good joke, if you have nothing sensible to say or a proper argument, get out of the thread.

The Nexus has a massive market share, they have the resources to easily enable what I requested.

It prevents what will come if the current path is continued because then nobody can make the claim I am making now.

 

You might think the nexus becoming the google of mods is great (besides, you can still search google and watch youtube, Nexus completely locks you the f*** out unless you suck their nuts and create a account). But unlike Google, The Nexus does not have the money to endure heaps of lawsuits once someone gives a s*** to start examine just how much power Nexus has. It might not come now, nor in 5 years. but come it will once enough eyeballs examine it.

 

Besides....

 

 

Bethesda and Valve already attempted to monopolize (or grab a massive market share) of mods one time. You people did not like that (it even made news).

Why would I like the Nexus having massive monopolity? It's effectively the same thing Bethesda and Valve tried. Your "payment" is my private data.

I have actually had premium on this account, so even I have supported this site once.

However it is getting to big. To big without the responsibilities.

[showler]

Accounts are needed to have any sort of moderation. And this place really, really needs moderation.

 

I haven't seen anyone banned for insufficient reasons. Even during this past month of anger their moderation has been very, very light.

This thread is quite confusing to me, I don't really know what you're hoping to achieve here?

 

I'm sorry you don't like/trust the site. You're welcome to use whatever websites you want.

 

This forum is for constructive feedback about how we can improve our services or ask for help using them - I don't really see either of those things in this thread so I'm going to close it.
