Ragnarok101 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) Just came back to the Nexus to download some new mods for Fallout 4 (I feel like playing a new campaign). This [...] screen trying to get me to buy premium membership with every. single. mod. is immensely frustrating. Moreso if you are trying to download a mod that has multiple extra files. Really, Nexus? You're so [...] desperate that you resort to crippling your own site's UI solely to try to shame people into ponying up cash? EDIT: Is it a small thing? Maybe. But it's far too akin to the scummy business practices of mobile developers and (*obligatory sign to ward off evil*) EA's ilk. If the goal is to increase premium membership, the banner warning about download caps is fine. Adding extra steps and a download delay is just...needlessly aggravating. I've edited your post.

orbiter4 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) Why are supporters seeing this? The "Supporter" section still clearly states that : "Supporter" membership group that continues to offer you some perks including a completely ad free browsing experience on all the Nexus sites I suppose you could argue that an advertisement for Nexusmod's own Premium membership still counts as an "ad-free" browsing experience , given that it is presented as part of the site and legally speaking that might even be correct. But it still feels like a clear breach of trust. I understand that Nexus needs to pay the bills, but they could at the very least stop selling a promise that they seem to be unwilling to fulfill? (The fact that it is presented in the exact same style as every other scummy russian "freeware" site out there doesn't exactly help.)

beldaran1224 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Just want to say that, histrionics and entitlement aside, the extra step to choose "slow download" is ridiculous and highly problematic. I have no problem with advertising the benefits of a premium membership, but trying to download a mod with multiple files is just such a hassle now. You'll just drive casual mod users away. Surely it can be implemented in a way that doesn't simply serve to irritate - even a dialog box like the required files is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaebasta Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Let me get this straight, this topic is about ppl that don't want to pay for a service, wich they openly declare they abuse of (100 mods installed, and i bet you used some kind of mod manager... maybe NMM at start right?).Does any of you geniuses have a job? do you think that professionals, servers, partnerships are all free?Also premium membership is about 3000DP, a couple of translation mods and you are done free of charge, and if you don't have time, this means you have a job, then that you can pay. Also that you don't understand this simple loop right here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagelf Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 If you want first-class service then you need to buy first-class tickets. This is not a charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedp15 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Agreed that forcing popups to upgrade for EVERY download is borderline hostile and bad design. Trying to force an upgrade through the huge time sink from incessant pop-ups will do anything but ingratiate yourself with users - it's aggressive and selfish.You want people to pay for premium? Set it apart by having great benefits & new features, not by being invasive and scammy as a way to frustrate people into capitulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also premium membership is about 3000DP, a couple of translation mods and you are done free of charge, and if you don't have time, this means you have a job, then that you can pay. Also that you don't understand this simple loop right here...The point is in the design of the way this site's trying to get people to pay for premium: It's bad. It's invasive and aggressive. Imagine going to the supermarket - call it the Nexus Market: everyone's free to enter and shop around, but if you don't have a membership, everywhere you look, there's someone in your face trying to get you to buy a product wholly unrelated to what you're looking for. There are so many sometimes that they swarm you, depleting you of resources which makes you fall; crash, knocking your sensitive knees on the unforgiving concrete. You cry from the pain. You are so tired of hurting your knees (and you can't afford knee replacement surgery) that you hire some anti-sales bodyguards to skewer each life sucker with a spear, leaving their green, corrosive blood oozing on the floor. Time & money wasted, but good riddance foul parasites! When you've managed to find everything you need, in order to purchase your items and leave the store, you must go through a single line reserved only for those who don't pay up: it has multiple security checks where people scan you and pat you up and down and look into your orifices for no reason. Once you manage to undue your wedgie and have finally reached the checkout counter, the cashier begins scanning your items but the thing has "limitation software" built in so each scan takes 20 seconds or so to complete. "Just get me outa here!" You scream - but you needed those specialty diet items available nowhere else, so you put up with all that carnage and probing and time wasting. Meanwhile, you go into every other store where the isles are free of life-sucking salesman and there's no security guard with a probe waiting to extrapolate your insides. Everyone has access to the same speedy checkout and sales workers only once offer a membership with great benefits. You politely decline or accept depending on whether or not you feel the perks justify the cost of membership. Then you leave satisfied as no one has assailed you or searched your bunghole. Dramatic? Yes. On point? Also yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
