  • Well, enshittification usually only starts after a good while. If the parent company wants changes they can slowly press forward to achieve what they want, even if they are somewhat limited - those limitations are usually limited itself. E.g. WhatsApp data was seperate to Facebook at first, but slowly but surely they became more interlinked (at least internally).

    Anyway, I don’t know enough about Nexus Mods and their owners to have any idea where they’re headed. As you’ve said, there’s been no indication of them doing something shitty.



  • The dev did develop most things himself so they have the copyright and can relicense freely. Also, they’ve asked other major contributors whether they agree with him relicensing their code, which they were seemingly okay with. Small contributions aren’t copyrightable anyway, and/or the dev likely has rewritten them already.
