Well.. To early (looking for a job starting early 2019) and can't relocate because of my wife and her new job. Beside that, I'd love to apply. Good luck to those who apply, this is a dream job for many, including myself :D

I'm afraid that is not that definitive of an answer as I hope. In the mentioned example we have the following: 25k unique people who have downloaded before the system 26k unique people who have downloaded the file after the system (25k of which have also downloaded it before) -> So from what I read, it could be either, 26k or 1k.. both are unique downloads after the start of the new system. Please clarify the given scenario: 1k or 26k? I do get the necessity to ignore all that has been before "day 1". But this example is about activity that is _after_ "day 1". Will a redownload - e.g. because of an update of the mod - not be counted just because somewhere before the system he did download that file? It is not that hard to program the system to be able to tell this apart from a redownload of a file you have already downloaded after this "day 1". You have to keep track of all users downloads to tell apart a unique download even after years, so you have the data at hand you need. I'm sure you have great people at hand to solve this =) If not..ask one :tongue: But if you do not count a honest download just because someday before the new system this user has downloaded it, the system is seriously flawed. I fear this to be a very reason of the hole "seperate patches" issue that has been mentioned and feared before. See: Every modder who has already created a mod that got thousand of downloads and reached its full audience is simply ignored by the system. Only new mods and new games would benefit. There is no "transition" from the old system to the new. This would leave a very bitter taste... And if a fair transition means modders get just cents, it would at least be fair. That could happen anyway. If we as a modding community fail to raise enough money so every modder could get a noticeable cut, then there is very little we could do about it. leaving out part of us would corrupt what the donation system tries to stand in for. To end this: Don't get me wrong. I really like the idea and the way the system will be set up. All I fear is a fair transition. I respect the time and effort that you most likely put into this and the effort you put into nexusmods. I'm with the site for quite a while with different accounts over time. I love how this site has evolved and the support I get from the people here as a modder. I even considered to apply for a job here a few times, but I feared working from germany would not be possible. I'm still mad about me not trying =( Maybe next time.. So beside my rant: Thanks. Really, I mean it =)

So here is my question on all this: Lets say I have 25k unique downloads before the system goes live. I opt in, I release a new version of the file because I care about the quality of my mods and get 26k unique downloads for that file. The "total" count for the hole mod will change by 1k. a) Do I get my share for 1k because 25k of those who downloaded did this also before the system..? b) Or do i get my share for 26k because all these are from after the system, even though part of them had my mod before and just got the new version? Hope my question is clear enough. If a) is the answer, I would be very disappointed because that would mean quality matters not a single bit. My mods consist of hundreds of changes and I update them from time to time to improve the overall mod quality. a) would pretty much counteract that.
