Nexus Mods, PC gaming’s premier destination for mods, is changing hands after almost 24 years. Site founder Robin Scott, aka DarkOne, announced the change in ownership but didn’t make clear who the new owners are.
In a post on Nexus Mods, Scott doesn’t explicitly state who the site’s new owners are, only that it took many months of meetings and face-to-face talks to find a new owner that would “respect the myriad intricacies of both Nexus Mods as a business and the wider modding community.” The new owners are focused on “long-term stability, not changing the values or direction of the platform,” Scott said, and that the site will continue to be “community-first and mod-author focused.”
“So yes, the ownership of Nexus Mods has changed hands, but I want to be clear, this isn’t some corporate ‘exit’ or a backroom deal,” Scott said. “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.”
