You control your own disk but by putting it on nexus you’ve put it into their repo and said others can depend on it.

Preventing removal (from lists) was just necessary.
Its not unreasonable to say if you release a mod and others depend on it you cant change your mind. Imagine if anyone could remove their contribution to the linux kernel at any point.
Its not about them taking ownership, its about them preventing petty drama which is actually the most important job for a mod site.

Nexus does have collections, modpacks installed via its own modding tool.

Intrigued that theyve charged him with terrorism, but still dont say anything about the motive.

That jank engine is what makes the bethesda games modding community work.
If they give it up theyre throwing away a huge advantage, and we will get worse mods.

- Comment on "My 'Microsoft will probably be a good steward of the brand' statement isn't aging well" - id Software co-founder John Carmack speaks out after devastating Xbox layoffs 3 weeks ago:
Wait, the plan was to get recurring revenue out of single player games by tying them to gamepass.
This failed, for entirely predictable reasons, and now MS is holding a load of very mature, stable game studios and needs them to male checks notes double the revenue (actually, profit). This simply isnt posssible.
Theres a story out from early in the year about MS requiring a 30% profit margin across the firm which when applied to games is just nonsense. Not ambitious or unrealistic, nonsense.
Games is a terrible fit for MS and the companies who allowed it to buy them for stability are realising that.

"You can’t rule out the possibility that executives are idiots, but that shouldn’t be your default belief. I don’t think there is any obvious path that would have doubled the revenue from Id games.

- Comment on Shopworker sacked for tackling suspected bacon thief 1 month ago:
I say this a lot but in general theyre not stealing it to eat, theyre stealing large amounts of high value meat to sell it on down the pub.
Theyre actually preventing people from buying good food by nicking it all. We are not talking about someone taking one loaf of bread because theyre hungry.

- Comment on There's never been an easier time to boycott Microsoft, the most boring video game publisher in the business 1 month ago:
At least gamepass and the ms aquisition spree gave us Pentiment.
Seems a small thing to have released after buying half of the industry but thats microsofts problem. Maybe they can sell them all again when they get bored.

- Comment on Game Consoles Are Pricing Themselves Out of Relevance 2 months ago:
Fixed hardware for devs to target for games is great, thats the advantage of consoles.
Honestly one of the xbox problems is theyve fragmented “xbox” so much you have to start caring which one you have for different games. Huge mustake.
- Comment on Game Consoles Are Pricing Themselves Out of Relevance 2 months ago:
I think theres an argument here for making consoles better at other computing stuff to be more relevant.
Not sure they can market that effectively tho even if it might help overall.
