Why am I having to find this out through a Reddit thread and not through an email? Why have you not notified people via email yet? Not everyone checks the site everyday you know? And not everyone checks the notifications either.

Personally I believe that Bethesda didn't see much promise in modding in the early days and probably viewed it as a novelty. Now that it has become such a big thing and that it's being sought after so heavily by the console community, they have to change their perspective. And honestly, I believe that Bethesda sees this as an opportunity to cash in. I believe the creation of Bethesda.net was a way to cut Steam out of the profits of paid modding, so they could keep more for themselves. Also it's a way to reach console users who have no alternative to receive mods for their system. Thus forcing them to have to buy from Bethesda's service, when the time comes. So after the many years all of you have spent building up the modding community and providing invaluable resources, Bethesda is here to take advantage of everyone's hard work. With this they took the same approach that Steam first did, which was a huge mistake. They are attempting to make the system completely automatic to save money, so they don't have to hire additional staff. This of course will not work and instead of learning from others mistakes, they'll just make the same ones again. Also I would just like to add that if they have an incompetent system in place, they can then keep the mods up for longer and so with paid modding earn more money. Just some food for thought.

In response to post #31699195. ^This sums up my feelings exactly. I couldn't have said it better myself.

In response to post #31701780. #31702235, #31704800 are all replies on the same post. You can also try disabling all your mods and see if you still encounter the problem. If you do not, then you might want to turn on your mods one at a time to find the culprit. If it is a problem with a mod, I would report it to the mod author right away so it can be fixed.

I don't know what people are upset about. I've run into very few problems with The Nexus since this all started. I think I've seen the site down once, and have only had slow downloads a few times. I'm sure for most people that use this amazing service, they're doing so for free. In that same vein, I must say that they have no reason to complain. You all are doing amazing work. The few problems there have been are easily worked around on the users end. And let me just add that there are websites that have far less traffic and more money behind them that have many more problems than yours. You all do an excellent job, and deserve the utmost respect. I know that I, and many others here, appreciate everything you do. So please don't be discouraged by a few bad eggs, as it were, they are the minority. And as always thank you for all of the information. It's nice to have people who care enough to communicate the problems they're having, rather than shutting people out. Keep up the superb work, you all are doing wonderfully. And I'm looking forward to all the changes and upgrades you've outlined. Thank you.

I'm hopeful they will come up with an alternative." They only use PayPal? Well sorry guys I was geared up to send some money your way, but until you have an alternative, I'm sorry but I'm going to have to abstain. I've had too many problems with PayPal in the past to ever use the service again.

If more businesses ran like your site, with all the love, care and attention you give it. The world would be a far better place. Thank you for your sacrifice, your sincerity and your passion. There are too few people in the world who care as much as you do, and I think it's a real shame. If I had money to give, I would. If there is a way I can help, I will. So thank you once again, all of you, for your dedication. I know it means a lot to me, and hopefully it means just as much to everyone else.
