I like to know more about the ways in which NexusMods has treated their modders. I remember in 2021 they announced they would no longer support modders deleting their own creations, which caused some controversy. On the other hand, they have paid over $3 million to modders.

Would such a question be on-topic here on Arqade?

A few additional thoughts:

  • I think having more questions focusing on auxiliary services like this one will enrich our community.

  • It might become a self-answered question, as I like to do some digging.

  • Modding is very much a part of gaming. For modding itself we have GameDev, but this website acts as a hub between modding gamers and modders. The existence of and actions taken by a website like NexusMods have great implications for gamers like us, which seems to make it very much on-topic, so I am mostly doubting the germaneness of the nature of the question.

  • With the titular "here" I mean on the main site :)

  • Coming back to this question later, I think my original intended question was, and what will be a good example question is: what was the impact on the modding community of the decision by NexusMods to stop supporting modders to delete their mods?

Will questions on the workings of NexusMods be on-topic here?
