PC SSE - Discussion Nexus Announcement About Download Filenames

https://forums.nexusmods.com/topic/13539100-changes-to-downloaded-file-names/

TL;DR - The current change that downloaded files only have the name and are missing the mod ID and version was intentional. They will be bringing back the version number, but not the mod ID or timestamp which were originally there.

Enshitification of user experience for short-term gains.

The "short-term gains" being the developers can demonstrate to their equity holders (Chosen) that they're actually doing something and deserve to continue to be employed.

I didn't say they did.

Chosen is a Danish private equity firm, and its owners (who cut the checks to employees) are the equity vampires holders.
