Because selfhosting got expensive and even with community donations, we were struggling to stay afloat ever since someone decided to aggressively scrape our site.
Nexus was told outright by Bethesda to not host Tale of Two Wastelands, and Eddoursul was generous enough to take us aboard.
> Sellouts. How so? Not like TTW stands to make any money.
Also I don't understand why using a website other than Nexus to downloads mods has to be a big deal. Because you need to make another account? Who cares?
Like it was said, it's all about cost. Stuff got too expensive to self-host TTW.
TTW has been uploaded to this site less than 1 month ago and already got 8k+ downloads. In the old site, we would sometimes have 50k or more downloads a month, all of this bandwidth is super expensive and money doesn't grow on trees. TTW is a non-profit project so it's not like we make any money from it and can afford to host the files ourselves.
Donations were all used to host TTW in the past and some team members also had to pay out of their own money for years. Still, even with donations we can't get enough money to host files anymore and team members can't afford to keep paying out of their own pockets either. So we changed to Mod:Pub, a reliable mod hosting site created by the trustworthy, talented and proven FNV modder Eddoursul.
