    The beating around the bush about who it was actually sold to certainly doesn’t bode well.

      100% chances that it was some shitty hedge fund VC that will squeeze the place for money ruining it utterly

      Edit: From a comment elsewhere:

      People on Restera did some digging: https://www.resetera.com/threads/nexus-mods-site-has-been-sold.1219452/post-141554013 Site of the company itself: https://wearechosen.io/ Here is a monetization “cheat sheet” that the CEO posted on LinkedIn which is linked on Chosen’s main page if you scroll down: https://i.imgur.com/ztjS4K7.jpeg In the CEO’s LinkedIn profile it says this: Working closely with teams at NexusMods and beyond to build meaningful, sustainable experiences If I had to guess the acquisition details are under some sort of NDA right now

          That’s enough for me to stop freaking out and screeching that the sky is falling.
