The new owners are so trustworthy that they weren’t even transparent about who they are. In the comments of the original announcement they defend that with:

This post wasn’t about Chosen — it was about Robin and the legacy he built over 24 years. We’re the new owners and ultimate decision-makers at Nexus Mods. We’ll share more about ourselves when we’ve earned that right. For now, we’re focused on listening, learning, and making modding even easier, and yes, you’ll see us around in the community being active.

I can’t say I find that statement to be particularly trustworthy given it’s coming from an NFT bro.

Dual nominations for Paper Mario: Sticker Star & Paper Mario: Color Splash. The only thing I really remember about them is that I played them and they left me without any feelings about them whatsoever.

The store page is kinda confusing. I don’t think the line “Join forces with other players to take on the creeping night and the dangers within featuring 3-player co-op.” along with both singleplayer and co-op listed as valid playing styles is something most reasonable people would interpret the way that it really is: be exactly 3 players with external voice chat available because all other ways of playing the game will suck hard.

They’ve been sorta honest about that in interviews and such but those don’t have the same reach as their huge marketing campaign.

It’s the usual combination of AGPL + CLA, they’re allowed to relicense to any license of their choice at any moment. They’ve had the CLA in place since the previous SSPL license and the more-previous BSD license naturally allows that kind of stuff.
