Beacon, (edited ) do games w Hunt: Showdown 1896 goes offline for a day after its latest update caused so many problems Crytek had to remove it completely

Weird how these kind of giant mistakes can be released. Is there no testing being done before release?

I have a friend who does game QA. A lot of the time issues this major are caught, documented, and then management decides the extra delay to solve it isn’t worth the effort because “it’s not going to impact enough people to matter”. Then, once a firestorm erupts due to public backlash, they try and blame it on QA.

My friend has gotten very good at ass-covering, and makes sure every issue ticket is very explicit, not only in terms of what the issue is, the cause, reproducibility, but also how likely the average user is to hit it just to avoid blame.

Huh so the TV show Mythic Quest was based on real events you say…?

Thats what they all say when they get acquired. “Won’t change our creative direction” type bs.

Make it a legally binding contract, otherwise don’t bother promising.

I wish I could say this surprised me, but I’ve kind of been expecting this for awhile. They’ve been slowly getting worse for years, it went from just a hobby project to a corporation.

If there was one god damned example of any company saying this and sticking to it I might believe them. But I have yet to be proven wrong. Sucks too as they were my go to for mods.

atticus88th,

All the examples I could think of have been recent acquisitions… which means they just haven’t soured… yet. Sadly its inevitable.

Maybe this is what it will finally take to get some of the bigger game communities off Nexus. It’s a decade overdue.

This is tragic. I have been on NexusMods since the 2000s. I learned how to mod games because of that site. I will be pouring one out for this landmark of a website after work today. Paid for Lifetime and everything, because the website made it easy to find, install, and update mods for any given game that supported mods. Damn, man. Damn.

Big_Boss_77,

Same… this is the swiftest of kicks to the nads…

Easy to say, yet so far most of the other modding sites seem to be content sitting on their butts right now.

Building an alternative would take time. And some money.

I think the new owners will fark NexusMods to death and you should start looking for a backup site to host your mods.
