Does anyone know if the grievance is legitimate?

I just got the game and I’m not familiar with the history here, but I am using the original mod in question. I did verify the files as well and they are indeed the same.

I’m not even sure how to see if Donation Points are enabled on a particular mod or author’s account.

I don’t mind mod authors getting some kickback if that’s an option, but taking someone else’s work is rather poor.

Edit: Looks like this mod was now taken down.

Edit: There’s a forum post from the author of the mod in question that mentions talking to the Nexus staff.

Hopefully this was all just a bit of unnecessary drama.

    The uploader reuploaded another persons mod (which isn’t monetized) under a more clickbaity title and basically enabled Nexus related monetization to profit from it. So now everyone downloads this mod, the uploader gets rewarded for it, while the actual mod author of the mod you downloaded gets fuck all.
