  Ouch. Even selling it to Fandom would have been better than this.

  Can’t even view r*ddit links anymore because they hate VPNs…

    Really? I onyl use VPN for reddit and don’t have an issue. But then again there is a lot of VPN’s out there, they would have to find each endpoint to block.

    See the original post here. reddit.com/…/nexus_mods_was_acquired_by_chosen_a_…

    People on Restera did some digging: www.resetera.com/threads/…/post-141554013

    Site of the company itself: 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: 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 cheat sheet is weirdly coherent. Human, almost. Weird.
