yes I am accepting constructive criticism
My reasonings
Good
- ROMhacking dot net is a good cataloguing site but won't host any actual modded roms, just the patch files
- don't really have anything bad to say about moddb except that there's so many abandoned WIP mods hanging around
- Gamebanana has a lot of really cool shit for games that can't be found anywhere else but god is its UI horrendous
Neutral
- GitHub is GitHub
- Nexus Mods has done a lot of shady shit, is arguably moving to become a monopoly but at the same time they will remove chud hate mods and aren't a completely hostile user experience
- Steam Workshop is a lawless wasteland
Evil
- Curseforge has done a LOT of anti-consumer motions in the past and is also gunning for mod monopoly status
- LoversLab
- idk if adfly is even still relevant in this day and age but it's been the bane of my fucking existence long enough so I'm including it
The steam workshop is absolutely the most evil platform. Neutral mod sites let people get mods no matter where they bought the game (...or if), but now there's a fuck ton of games that have great mods and are available on multiple platforms, but almost all of the modding scene is locked away on Steam only. Digital enclosure act :heated-gamer-moment:
