I totally agree here. IIRC you either have to register with a mainstream e-mail provider account or they actively block temporary email services.

I understand only allowing subscribers to download files, but going to extra distance to only allow people to use their main e-mail accounts is too far.

Personally, I don't want to give them my e-mail address. I don't want them to sell my e-mail address to the next bidder, to make some cash to run their platform, or leak it in the next database breach or whatever. Personally, I don't use gmail or similar any longer. But then all kinds of people put their mods on NexusMods and thus beyond reach for me, without being aware of contributing to an ecosystem, that extorts users e-mail addresses.

Personally, I am also not frequently in the mood to solve shitty captchas, especially not from big brother Shoogle.

Well, it would have been nice to play some mods, but this price is too high to pay for me, so I guess then I just have to treat it as not available on the Internet.
