If there is any way to have the site set a preference for PC or mobile, that should be used to select the appropriate display conventions on the page.  I really hated when w10 came out with its more phone-centric layout, and absolutely DESPISE the design elements in w11.  I read from left to right, top to bottom, not from inside-out.  I am tired of having to kludge together fixes and adjustments just to get things looking better on/using all of my screen, and to try to keep using conventions that Windows developed as standards from all the way back to the last DOS version of Windows.  I am sick to death of mobile users making decisions about what 'looks good', and 'works better'.  I use a PC, and want it to be also optimized for PC, not just one or the other.

And that is fine for phone games, but many games do NOT have phone versions. A better idea would be to make a design that works well with the available real estate.

Except that some are satisfied with the way it turned out. And oh yes, Nexus has made appeasement modifications in the way the website looks based on our feedback.   Yes, not everything is liked, and I may have made other choices here and there, but "winning-out", in my view, shouldn't be the motivating factor.  The website is going to be designed for multiple platforms and some accommodations have to be made for that.  It's 2025, not 2000.  Most gamers have smartphones and do use them for gaming related activities.

A helpful way to look at it would be what is the best overall look that can be accomplished based on the fact that varying needs (and not just what I want) must be considered.

Quite right, which is why there is NO EXCUSE in designing a website for phones only or PC only. It is now perfectly possible to design a website in such a way that it changes layout based on screen size. Oh yeah - that's what they call "responsive". And that change of layout is not limited to switching from three columns to four, it can be quite extensive. Of course, that requires more work which is apparently not worth it.

I really like the new look and UI, it's so much smoother, looks great and modern (slight P*rnhub vibes, but that's okay....i mean that's what a uh...a friend...told me, so...), and it's much easier to navigate/coordinate mods and "modpack" curating. 10/10

Are they finished working on it?  Shouldn't these types of topics and the Feedback board be closed down then if the work is done?

I don't know anything about web design and what is and isn't possible, but I don't see complaining about too much empty space 20x a day in feedback topics productive, particularly when questioning why does Nexus give consideration to smartphones.  I'm pretty sure they've seen the complaint enough times to have it drilled into their brains forevermore by now.

A lot of feedback from members here have been implement.
