The purpose of the looking at the future...is to disturb the present!

PC modding repository Nexus Mods has a new owner

There are more than 100,000 mods on Nexus Mods for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Special Edition.

Nexus Mods, a website known for hosting mods for thousands of PC games, has been handed over to new ownership, according to former owner Robin “Dark0ne” Scott.

“After months of meetings, face-to-face talks, and a whole lot of soul searching, I am thrilled to say that I truly believe I have found the exact right people for the task,” Scott says in a post published on Monday.

Scott, who launched the project in 2001, says that the site “has been my entire adult life” and that “the strain of being responsible for the behemoth I created” had taken a toll. He realized he had been burning out and that he needed to bring in new leadership.

Scott didn’t specify who the new owner or owners are, and the company didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment sent to its support email address. However, users will be seeing more of two people, who Scott identifies as “Foledinho (Victor)” and “Rapsak (Marinus),” as they have “come on board to lead this next chapter,” Scott says. “They’ve got deep roots in gaming, tech, and most importantly, they give a damn; about the site, the community, and the future we’re trying to build here.”

While the site has changed hands, Scott says that “this isn’t some corporate ‘exit’ or a backroom deal.” Instead, “this is me doing something I probably should’ve done years ago: taking care of myself. Reclaiming some headspace. And finally letting go of the idea that I have to do everything and be responsible for everything myself.”

Scott will also still be a presence. “I’ll still be annoying people on the Mod Author Discord, lurking on the forums, and sticking my nose into community matters when I can’t help myself,” he says. And he’ll work with the team to “help guide the overall direction of the site.”
