While their plans for a newer Nexus Mods app were shelved, they continue working on revamping Vortex and they want to get this popular mod manager on Linux.
I’ll eat a sock if Nexus actually embraces open source.
Their entire modus operandi is amalgamate and gatekeep and profit off of the open contributions of others.
Would they fork and then privately develop an open source project, possibly in direct violation of that project’s liscense?
Sure I could see that happening.
But… actually do open source right?
I’m entirely ready to boil, salt and butter a sock, but I don’t think I’ll need to.
They like to be the ones that make up dubiously and likely legally unenforceable intellectual property rights policies, and then enforce them highly arbitrarily.
I genuinely don’t know how to describe this kind of mindset other than ‘extremely reddit powermod’.
