After crashing Nexus Mods<\/a> on launch day and racking up 82k unique downloads, Fallout: The Frontier started to face accusations it was secretly a “fetish mod” – with critics highlighting a number of questionable moments from the mod as examples. Last night, things escalated rather dramatically, as one of the mod developers was ejected from the team for allegedly posting “animated paedophilic content”. A few hours later, the entire mod was taken offline. <\/p>\n
