Something quite unexpected here - the newer owners of Nexus Mods have now acquired the popular community website SteamDB, a site that many rely on.

    In it they note SteamDB might finally gain a proper API for people to use, and there’s no plans to put adverts on it.

    Cool. 😃

    But, they will be looking to commercialise it somehow - as they said, “SteamDB needs to make money”.

    Oh… 🫩 Aaaaaaaand it’s fucked.

      Yes it’s fucked because running servers costs a lot of money and SteamDB runs on donations. So I hope you did donate at some point when you used their services and disapprove of this development.

      Does my life time membership to nexus mods mean I also get life time membership to steam DB now? If not then fuck off nexus mods you sack of dog shit. I already regret how shitty you turned your site into don’t do it twice.

      If it does then my point still stands but I will also take advantage of this.
