I do not understand how something left it's Beta phase with less functionality/options than the thing it's getting updated from, guess Nexus is joining the modern gaming circle that it usually fixes. Even what's there is worse than it's predecessor, the site is slower functionally and as an experience as well, and the less I think about the new search bar the better, it's a damn travesty. Subjectively it looks much worse in every way, incredibly soulless. Any small pro that came out of this is so overshadowed by the cons that it's not even funny anymore. The money spent on this could have gone into a bonfire and it would have been money better spent, at least it would have given somebody some warmth.
Nexus is a monopoly on the level of Youtube in it's niche, so I am incredibly unsurprised that monopolies are gonna monopoly, except Valve but they're an exception to the rule. Considering the Nexus track record in the last few years I can even say that the response to this was very much expected even. I wish some other site would rise up to the challenge and at least eat some of the market share but most modding apps being linked into Nexus one way or another make that an uphill battle. Best we can hope for is a legacy mode but considering the down right malicious response to some criticism, I expect this is some nepo babies pet project that needs to exist and be seen, so low chances even for that.
This is, I think, my first post in these forums in the 15 years of this account, hopefully I can avoid having to rant/post in the forums for another 15 years after this, one way or another.
Edit: Apparently I made another post at some point that doesn't actually exist, neat.
