      I mean, it’s not hard to start a mod site.

      I think what’s harder is to figure out a commercial model where you can manage to pay for the infrastructure and resource usage and write the associated client software.

        The client software is the big one. ModDB has the others but is all but dead save for a few old titles. Vortex really did Nexus a lot of favours; it’s turned into a great program, making modding easy for non-techie users.

    Unfathomable how Microsoft and Bethesda could leave so much money on the table not having Fallout 3 remade and ready to launch next to the show

      They are banking on the fallout 76 model. Trying to get people to buy lootboxes and whatever.

          Ah my bad. I remember they having bad dlcs and cashgrabby content at launch. Perhaps i’m misremembering. :-)

            The launch was awful but they never had DLCs or loot boxes. The biggest controversy was the subscription service.
