Modding is...
It's one of the things that defines PC gaming – keeping our favorite games alive (and better!), bringing us together as a community, a way to explore our passions, sometimes an open door into the industry of our dreams.

So it only stands to reason that Nexus Mods – the biggest, most active modding network out there right now – has a very special place in our hearts… The Nexus Mods site has just undergone a huge redesign and we took the occasion to say thanks to the PC gaming community together!
Check out the letter to the community below, and drop by /r/PCMasterRace to enter the massive Game & Gear giveaway where you can win from among $3,000 worth of GOG.com games, as well as hardware and gear from MSI and CORSAIR!

One more thing, from all of us to you: stay great, stay passionate, and keep modding on! <3

A message from Nexus Mods

In celebration of our new site design, we have teamed up with GOG.com, MSI, Corsair, and PCMasterRace to share our love for PC gaming worldwide through a massive giveaway! Before we get into the juicy details though, I wanted to take a quick trip down memory lane and look at some of the previous designs we've used at Nexus Mods before reaching this point.

See the news for more

Throughout all the various names and aesthetics of this site, our community has always been a driving force in our success. It is your passion and dedication that keeps us going and allows us to continue growing. Which brings me to the point of this little stroll down memory lane!

As I mentioned at the start, we have joined forces with some great companies in the gaming world to bring you a chance to win some incredible loot. We feel we've picked companies that shared a similar mindset to our own.

The folks over at GOG.com were immediately on board with the cooperation. Modding wouldn't be possible without the freedom to do what you want with the games you own, and it's a great way to get involved and explore your passion for gaming. These are ideas both GOG and Nexus Mods very firmly believe in.

Similarly, CORSAIR and MSI were both excited to work with us and have made offerings that are more than generous. CORSAIR is offering a full peripheral set to bring glory to your gaming setup, and MSI wants to help bring your system into the modern age with a few serious hardware upgrades.

Finally, we have decided to host the event on the PCMasterRace subreddit to reach an even bigger audience of PC gaming enthusiasts. Modding is a hobby with its roots dating back to some of the earliest PC games. While the use of mods has recently opened up to other platforms, on no other platform can you dig into a game's engine and bend it to your will like you can on the PC, and the PCMasterRace subreddit is chock full of posts that elevate our favorite platform.

This is more than just a celebration of our new design. It is a celebration of modding and PC gaming as well!

Thank you for all your support over the years. We look forward to providing a place to share and discuss mods for many more years to come. Head on over and enter the contest for your shot at some glorious prizes!

always love me some Nexus Mods, thanks for the announcement and giveaway
A big note, which GOG managed to totally ignore in the above, if you want to enter you need to have something called a "Reddit" account. Apparently the whole free and open part of the message is ironic!!
Another giveaway only for certain groups of people, nice!
mods are indeed one of the best parts of PC gaming. they're both a great learning experience and a great way to add new life to a game. I've messed around modding a bunch of games, and I consider how much I modded a game to be a good indicator of how much I enjoyed that game.

big ups to Corsair and MSI for the promotion.

Yeah, really sucks that they didn't just hold the giveaway on the GOG forums, where they would reach literally dozens of PC gamers (all of whom already use GOG).
Of course, then they'd just get complaints from non-GOG-users about having to make a GOG account to enter, and about the games not being Steam "keys". [shrug] You can never please everyone.
Very nice! Great way to promote yourself, especially on the r/pcmasterrace page which until recently really only acknowledged Steam.

GOG, you should encourage r/pcmasterrace to let users have GOG flair (since Steam flair is available).

Worse: Wants to associate your real name, with your email address, with your reddit name. And then wants to link to your Facebook account and Instagram account...

Not sure what the problem is. Gog is one of the people adding things to the pile, why do I need to create some account on a third party site which has nothing to do with the giveaway to enter a competition from a site I do use? If non gog users want to enter they have Facebook or twitter or one of the other options there to do so. Why does every give away have these requirements, totally uncessary, they could just include an enter as gog user, simple.
I'll be honest, I don't use mods much. I'm to lazy and stupid :P

I don't use reddit either, and have no intention to, so I'll skip the giveaway too. It's not some "argle bargle I hat GOG for making a giveaway there" thing, I get it's a marketing thing. I'm just saying thanks, but no thanks.

In the same boat. I got banned for politely (and I was polite) for calling out an EA rep bragging about their accessibility while refusing to offer support to deaf players like myself.

Only thing I see of interest on the list is Stardew Valley.

Looks like another one of those Demonoid (or whatever the website was called) giveaways where it's GoG only because the keys come from here.

But yes an alternative method of entry would have been a plus.

The point is that the reason companies donate prize to something like this is for marketing, to attract new customers. We get tonnes of freebies all the time for being GOG members. This is a way to bring new people in and let them know GOG exists.

It's not like you're missing out on a guaranteed free game, it's just a competition.

Yeah I was ready to enter too (I use Nexus for older games especially) but don't have a "reddit" account or whatever it was called and am not going to create one just to enter. To each his/her own. I would have preferred it to only be an email required but whatever guess they're using this giveaway as a way to induce new members to their site. *shrug*
Nexus Mods requires a login to download anything.

Oh well. Time to bang on the war drum.
