Arthmoor Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Choosing an alternative that offers a smaller repertoire of mods, may be an acceptable price to pay for some.Well we wouldn't all be in this position had people not been so hell bent on making Nexus the only place to get a good portion of the mods that are here. Diversification is better for the community than a de facto monopoly, but any time I ever brought this up I was treated like some kind of pariah for daring to suggest it. So here we are with Nexus holding all the cards. Whether we all like it or not, that's just how it is now. It's not realistic to hope for or expect any kind of large scale replacement for it to come up. ModDB would be a joke for Bethesda games since it barely has anything for them there now and SSE isn't even represented there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethreon Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Gotta love people that are trying to serve ultimatums from a position of no power, acting as if they're the hottest s#*! since sliced bread while claiming to depart. We all know you're not actually leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But people can start with using alternative download sources like Mega and all the others who are free. Smaller mods can be even on free gitlab. Delegating Nexusmods as an indexer. Distributing mods towards your own site, LL, ModDB could be the next step. Of course, won't happen. It's too cumbersome for the enduser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider the thing people are threatening to leave because of the "Cheap Fast Slow download screen like a bad Mega upload site", to go to a site like Mega, seems pretty silly, especially since those sites have something like a 60 second wait time as opposed to a 5 second wait time.

It's too cumbersome for the enduser.There need to be valid alternatives first. Reputable ones, not known warez portals like Mega. Not sites known to be author-hostile like ModDB. Or sites full of porn like LL that will get your work associated with the seedy side of modding. Maybe if you presented some actually viable choices your argument might hold some weight. Oh, and the old adage holds: If the product is free, YOU are the product. o_O You have used Mega exactly 0 times. Why not try it out before commenting on it. :wink:Actually I think he has. As have I. It's definitely NOT a legitimate means for distributing files and is going to be 10 times more annoying than anything Nexus is currently doing. Every download I've ever seen there has at least a 30 second timer on it unless you pay for premium. No way in hell I'd ever provide them enough information to drain my bank accounts with.
