I don't usually write in forums. I've been on Nexus since 2011. It's one of the few sites I whitelist because I care about the site and want it to succeed. But the recent changes to "incentivize" the premium subscription are just too much. Not because a 5 second wait is too long, or the few extra clicks, or the one download at a time, but all of them together. It's the mindset of "If we screw over the customer enough, they'll give us more money." You're charging us for a solution to a problem you created. Nexus made the site more annoying to use and proceeds to ask us for more money to have things back to how they were. Nexus, instead of making your subscription service more appealing and attracting users who "want" what you're offering you've instead punished those who can't (or won't) pony up for something they used to get for free. You offered a great service and have removed what made it so successful in the first place: It's user-friendliness . Especially since there was no announcement, no explanation, nothing. A surprise addition no one wanted or asked for. You went from "How can we make the site better for users" to "How can we make it just annoying enough to get them to pay for it". With the AAA gaming industry, we expect them to be milking us for everything, screwing us over, and introducing shady practices to get us to spend more money. I don't expect that from Nexus. You've removed aspects from the service and dangle it in front of us like a carrot on a stick. You can disagree with me, that's fine. I've seen the few other threads of people jumping to the defense of Nexus. I'm just saying how I feel. I don't feel like a valued user, I don't feel like I'm seen as anything but a shut wallet to be pried open, I don't feel like Nexus cares about me. And maybe they don't. But when your customers don't feel appreciated, we'll go elsewhere or go without. So, for now, I'm going without. It's a shame, Nexus. A damn shame. I get it, you need money. That's not my fault though, so don't take it out on me.
