    This is hardly news, Nexus has removed mods like these in the past from games like Spider-man and Skyrim. Their rules are pretty straightforward when it comes to stuff like this.

      The news is more that the mod existed. And it may not be particularly shocking news but it’s still notable when people put this much work into hate.

      Online news stories primary goal is to gain viewership and “customer reaction” measured by traffic figures. Although I agree this shouldn’t be news, it is undeniably a successful news story due to the interactivity it’s creating.

      As long as people are triggered into clicking on that link, it’ll be seen as “what the people want” and therefore “good news story” by the media.
