  1. In response to post #73618083. #73618123 is also a reply to the same post. Yes I read the news and seen the picture you are referring to. But to my understanding That's 2 clicks, not 1 like before. and that's why I made this comment. Edit: Whatever I guess It's time to use old right click open new tab like in those old sites
  2. Hi, before you could stay in the same game while browsing the mods by clicking on Nexusmods icon which now leads to the main homepage. Is there a way to keep going to the game homepage you are browsing with just one click? because honestly I don't understand this change since I suppose anyone will spend more time by browsing from whatever game homepage's mods than by going to the main homepage to switch games. So while now it's great and faster to switch games, browsing mods from the same game (which I supposed was the main purpose of this site) has become quite... "annoying?"

The main problem here is that people targeted the wrong targets, well, they targeted the easy/most vulnearble part, the mod authors... and many will keep buying games via Valve and Bethesda while name-calling mod authors... I'd like to see each and every one of those, just for a day having the skills Chesko and many other mods authors have proven to have and receive an e-mail from Valve and Bethesda with that (in my opinion and from the outside, scam of a deal) and see what would they do. Has anyone tried to put in Chesko's (or any other mod author) shoes? Yes they are other mod authors that haven't agreed to the deal, but what do people know about the mod authors that accepted the deal? What do they know about their families, their bills to pay, their economic situation? What about the dreams they may have? Thinking about the possibility of joining a real gaming company? Te possibility of eventually being proposed a job to do what they love? THIS IS MADNESS!! A SACRILEGE!! Well, this reaction it's understandable if you choose randomly a mod and see the ratio "endorsements/downloads" or "thank comment/downloads"... and better not to even think about the ratio "donations/downloads"... Anyway, all this doesn't matter, mod authors are people that spend time, efforts and work to make mods. I think any person who spends their own time and efforts to produce anything is in his/her right to decide if he/she wants to be paid for that. So many filling their mouths with "I'd definitely pay for that mod!" and when this happens... we all have seen the truth during the last days.(No, the cut is not an excuse for many many many sick behaviours) People keep pointing mod authors, but they weren't the ones who had the idea, they aren't the ones that see the entire community as cows to milk "We think the communities you support on Nexus offer a ton of value to mod-makers and customers" (by Valve) I don't like to have to pay for mods, in fact I will not pay for any mod (with that s..t of a deal where just giving you a table to show the result of your efforts and time spent they keep 75%), If the free mods eventually disappear, which I doubt, I won't buy any other Bethesda game because, in my opinion, without mods Bethesda's games are a failure. Horrible designs, full of bugs, and sorry but in my case, after two minutes of dialog I get bored. I won't buy any more games from Steam, I'll try to find them in other game suppliers, buy the physical game, that's what I will do and it surely won't be nothing to those companies that see us as cattle, in their own words "mod-makers and c u s t o m e r s" to milk. But I will keep respecting and admiring those mod authors that have the skills to make mods regardless of having (or not) been proposed a deal that may feed their dreams. Chesko, I don't think you will read this, but anyway, I'm sorry for what have happened, keep chasing your dreams whatever they may be, and specifically about modding do what you think you have to do, mod for yourself, stop modding, have your time and come back to share your great works with us, it's up to you... (ironic mode [ON]) but don't worry too much, because you know, you only have to share a new mod for free and you will see that the most of those who are treated you like the worst criminal and are here still being critic with you and demanding something from you (although I am still trying to find a reason that may give them the right to demand anything from you) you will see the most of them (if not all) will forgive you... and everything will be tea and cookies for ever and ever :). at least for them, because the damage they may have done to you, you know that's irrelevant. (ironic mode [OFF])
  4. In response to post #24594124. If you really want to hurt Valve your decission should be... stop using Valve. No more purchases in Valve, buy the games from other game supliers, buy the physical game... if it's exclusive of Steam/Valve then don't buy it. This new "pay for mods" is an extra income for them, a new market, a big one if the modding community go to them, but the way to hurt them is to stop using Steam. Play the games you already bought but in regards of the new ones, buy them anywhere else. Anyway, you and/or me alone won't matter, but the whole modding community doing so, then yes... things would matter.
  5. I'll never pay for a mod, simply because if I start, when do I finish? How do I keep 200 mods paying for them? But once said that, I think we all should take things in a more mature way. The mod authors are in their right to consider they want to be paid for their work. In the end, it's their time spent and their work done, and we all know in this world few things are for free. The modding comunity and this site as other sites are great and I don't think (hope I'll be right) this will mean the end of modding as long as the modding community will ignore those mods. There sure will be modders that will go on with the way it's always been, people spending their time making mods for the love of it. There will be others, though, that will think they should charge for their work, and they will be in their right to do so, as we will be in our right to skip or pay for those mods. What I'd like to ask, (although I'm just a guy that downloads mods) is people to stop for a second and think about it or just count to 10 before spitting whatever comes to their minds, well to be honest, as curiosity I've gone to see the profiles of several of those who have been the most harsh and disrespectful towards the mod authors that decided to join the Valve coup d'etat, were those who had almost no other comment and almost no endorsements... meaning those guys that have been the most incendiary, their profiles show they didn't respect the modding community at all. So please, don't let yourselves get carried away by those guys. The best we can do is to ignore them and the mods for pay. It's us who have to pay for those mods. If we don't pay, they will have to come back or stop. It's the same as how many of the people that are criticizing this change are using addblock? What would happen if all of us were blocking the adds of this site, nor giving any donation to this site, not thinking that the owners of this site have many costs to have this site running for us to find everything and download with jut one click? Maybe this will be a good thing, for us as a community to ask if we, the ones who have only downloaded mods have done anything to help the community. how many of us have donated for mods we love? how many have really endorsed all the mods we have been using? How many have thanked the mod authors for their altruistic, until the date, efforts to improve the games we play?
