Users literally brought down the largest mod site, Nexus Mods, in the wake of the popularity of the Fallout series. The administration even had to introduce a check for DDOS attacks before allowing them to access the site.
Nexus Mods began experiencing problems with high traffic on April 15, four days after the premiere of Fallout on Amazon. Here is what the site administration writes:
Many modders who create addons for Fallout have encountered problems with the site. As users write on the thematic section of Reddit, it has become more difficult to upload new works. Also, some visitors to Nexus Mods discovered that it began to check users before entering the site.
Let us remind you that the Fallout series caused record-breaking online numbers for several games in this universe. Fallout 4 is the most popular among players.
