Deleted files...

[BadLucky1776]

Starting to notice a lot of Deleted files all the sudden on the Cyberpunk Nexus. More so that I remember seeing in my entire time on Nexus.

 

Are these self deletes or has Nexus Mods been overrun with control freak "do-gooder" police? Just askin...

 

The thing about fostering that activity... is that at some point it deletes you too.

I believe it is more about people learning to do things.

 

There are plenty of new mod authors in CP77 community, compared to older games. Some things - quality control and copyright - might have not been as obvious to them than they are for more experienced authors. Tools and methods also develop all the time.

 

Script Extender was just released, people on servers have found better ways to make things, some mods were done by ways that are not exactly safe for the save. Etc.

 

And then there are personal reasons. Some new authors might have released popular mods. Then they noticed how draining it was to keep them up to date and running.

 

We will see plenty of more deleted mods. We always do. Then we will also see new mods coming up.

 

Gems will stay up and create a foundation for most builds.

I think you are talking about the music replacers, right? Yeah, may be there is some further slight skittishness using copyrighted music. Which is justified. You can sit there and complain about it but ultimately you are not the ones who would be legally and financially liable.

Nexus Mods runs under Black Tree Gaming Ltd. Of course the company keeps it's file share clean.

 

Not much to do with: control freak "do-gooder" police?

 

More to do with: Does the company actually want to continue, or get sunk by major company copyright cases, after ignoring written policies of Nexus Mods - as required by internationally accepted standards and UK law.

 

I believe that answer should be quite obvious.

 

There was a yet another mod today that was likely using copyrighted music without license. I just asked audio modding community to make sure that further content comes from open license sources.

 

No one wants mods getting deleted and author accounts getting warned / banned. But we are clearly seeing a situation, where new generation of mod authors got too excited and did not stop to consider what they were doing.

"Does the company actually want to continue, or get sunk by major company copyright cases, after ignoring written policies of Nexus Mods - as required by internationally accepted standards and UK law."

 

Hrmm. Sounds like a good corpo response. Do-gooder control freakism... the answer would be YES. I wonder if anyone reading this actually got the point of Cyberpunk's main theme. Can't see the forest for the trees I guess.

 

Have fun with the next generation of games. They will be bland Soviet era TeliTubbies Choose your own Adventure where all the free choices only lead to what is good for the corporation/market collective (Remember communism/national_socialism/fascism are all rooted in the Roman concept "fasci" the collective). Good luck, cause only cr@p spews from that fountain.

And why might that be? Because no one in their right mind would go the work to make these mods when they know there's a good chance their efforts will be wicked out of existence for whatever thought crime they may have committed in someone else's eyes. I'm looking at mod dev' whose entire dev folders have been deleted. Cancel Culture much?

 

The books were burned in Germany because businesses that capitulated with the National Socialist put pressure on private institutions to do so. Try reading history. It starts small and grows like a wildfire in a dry pine grove.

There are plenty of independent artists, who are either releasing the content under open license or happy to grant license for radio mods, so that they would get heard.

 

Creating custom radio mods from that content would be far more in spirit of aforementioned "Cyberpunk main theme", as opposite of pushing simplified songs with 9 producers from mega corporation artists to Nexus.

OP Uses the site for free, complains about not getting copyrighted stuff for free.

 

LOL

This thread is going to go nowhere good. The OP can't tell the difference between a fantasy game set in a dystopian future and one of the most prevalent laws of society which boils down to "don't steal". Might as well close this as nothing productive will come from it.
