riku98523 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'm noticing modders moving from The Nexus to the steam workshop and saying they refuse to support the nexus anymore. If this trend continues and the big name modders refuse to support The Nexus things might look bleak in the future. Can anyone explain why someone would do this in the first place? Is it simply a person being too lazy to spend the extra time uploading here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korodic Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 it just came out. -.- and there were dozens of threads on this already. So nothing in this post has proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubjectProphet Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I prefer the Nexus. I HATE Steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riku98523 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 it just came out. -.- and there were dozens of threads on this already. So nothing in this post has proof. The top rated mod on the workshop right now has the creator staying plainly " I do not support the Nexus" he even removed his mod from the nexus (arrowsmithing) which had to be reuploaded by another member (with permission).

Korodic Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Well, it isn't hard to be top rated in anything when it was out for a few hours :biggrin: But anyways, that person probably is just mad (bro) over getting the ban hammer or something.

riku98523 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 I hope so. It would really suck if people stopped releasing here. I think the workshop has some cool ideas but I'm worried about conflicts and the auto updating. Scripting mods could become a big issue (though the CK now has a scripting function so it might work better). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minngarm Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Its not like that mod is that hard to duplicate anyways. I doubt anyone would jump ship over this guy going over. Now I have noticed some of the more popular modders already having uploaded some of their work to the SW. Which is fine especially since they still have their mod here on the nexus. I also find that samutz guys comments amusing that he left because of the moderators when in fact that is the primary reason I use nexus over any other site, because they weed out the undesirables kind of like a gated community.

elvinkun Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 The workshop is for casual users, more than "modders", it's simple and all, but I personally find the fact Steam does stuff for you and there are only two things you can do - Sub and Unsub a bit creepy. Plus it's been just a few hours, and mostly anything in there is here as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 It might be slightly logical to expect that banned mod authors aren't going to upload their mods to the Nexus... Remember there's always two sides to every story, and if you want both sides, all you need to do is ask. People lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
