JC136 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Heres a question that may or may not get me banned (i know its likely to start a flame war). but what is the exact number of mods that have disapeared from nexus since valve announced their paid modding scheme? i've seen a rough number of "500 mods" paddled about a bit, which i think is intresting, but is there an exact number.Ill admit this is a question only the nexus staff will be able to answer. intresting quote about all this that i saw someone post; "its amazinf that we will see the pirating of mods in our lifetime, noone expected the PC masterrace to really mean hitlers were running it" (friendly reminder that no one here should support piracy) it does raise the intresting question of how valve will police how paid mods are used, because short of introducing a new DRM into the game just for mods, i see it as being quite hard to tackle.

bben46 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Some modders removed their mods from Nexus - but many of those were more afraid of their mod being hijacked and put on Workshop by someone else. NOT because they were instantly jumping on the mo money bandwagon. Most of those will probably be back. A few have just abandoned modding altogether because of the Steam fiasco. And fewer still are trying to get their mods behind the Steam paywall. 500 mods out of a total of around 30,000 is barely a significant number ( 1.7%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC136 Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 i wasnt asking who or why, i was asking for an exact number. like i said, the 500 number seems a little high for me to believe completely, so i wanted to confirm an actual number.

Thandal Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 See Dark0ne's post this morning. As of an hour ago the number was 75, so effectively... ZERO.And some of that tiny fraction were actually just set to "Hidden" by their authors until this mess settles down and they know what they want to do.

bben46 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 :tongue: Thandal saw DarkOnes post before I did. So the 'new' percentage is 0.18% How is that for a 'significant' number removing their mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Closing this as just another of the dozens of redundant topics that have come up on this subject. :pinch: See Dark0ne's post this morning http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/2798644-steam-service-providers-and-some-how-needing-to-clarify-the-nexus-stance-again/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
