    This is hardly news, Nexus has removed mods like these in the past from games like Spider-man and Skyrim. Their rules are pretty straightforward when it comes to stuff like this.

      Online news stories primary goal is to gain viewership and “customer reaction” measured by traffic figures. Although I agree this shouldn’t be news, it is undeniably a successful news story due to the interactivity it’s creating.

      As long as people are triggered into clicking on that link, it’ll be seen as “what the people want” and therefore “good news story” by the media.

      Yes I’m aware I’ve just described click bait to someone who clearly would understand the concept, I apologise lol
