don’t worry, it’s even worse than that:

they already built one, and then abandoned it!

the NexusModsApp (terrible name) WAS OS-agnostic and already in beta.

they killed it because it was “splitting their resources”, and “confusing users”… bullshit, their new onwers forced them to cut costs.

they’re effectively dead, just a matter of time until their new owners slaughter the golden goose because it isn’t laying eggs fast enough…
