In a turn of events the gaming community didn't quite expect, the popular game modding website Nexus Mods has acquired SteamDB, one of the largest Steam tracking databases. According to the announcement, SteamDB has been run solely by developer Pavel "xPaw" Djundik, who founded the website and has been its sole operator for the last 13 years since it started back in 2013. Interestingly, the founder has reportedly been looking for a new owner, as the burden of maintaining the website has depended on constant donations from the community, which has been generous enough to let the project survive for more than a decade.
Nexus Mods is mainly viewing the SteamDB acquisition as a source of high-quality data, which will help the company gather information about popular game versions, common PC configurations, and which game releases are trending at any given time, ensuring the modding community stays ready. According to the announcement, everything currently existing within SteamDB will remain free, with no added monetization. There will also be no ads on the website, similar to the current setup. However, Nexus Mods confirmed that they will introduce additional features that will require payments to use on the newly acquired website.
