Nexus Mods owner steps down citing toll on personal wellbeing by Usama Jawad If you've ever been involved in the gaming landscape, there is a good chance that you have heard of Nexus Mods. It's one of the largest websites offering game modifications online with millions of registered members. The site hosts mods for numerous popular titles including The Witcher 3, The Elder Scrolls, Elden Ring, Dark Souls, and Fallout, among others. Now, the creator of the site has announced that ownership of Nexus Mods is changing hands, 24 years after its inception. In a blog post, the site's creator, Robin Scott - also known as "Dark0ne" in the community -, has announced that he is stepping down from managing the site on a daily basis and is actually handing over Nexus Mods to a new owner. Interestingly, this owner has not been named yet, but it seems like the community will be seeing a lot more of Foledinho (Victor) and Rapsak (Marinus) in daily operations. Scott says that ever since starting the site back in 2001, his adult life has been pretty much consumed by running Nexus Mods and managing its "major social network". This has almost been an on-call position, which has taken a toll on his personal wellbeing and health due to the accompanying stress and anxiety. As such, Scott has decided to step down from his executive role to avoid further burnout. Although Scott has not revealed the identity of the new owners, he says that his exit is purely for personal reasons and not some corporate backdoor deal. The site's creator will still be around in the forums and Mod Author Discord, providing direction when needed without taking responsibility. Scott's announcement has been mostly met with praise and thanks from the community. Though, as may be expected from a rather diverse and often polarized audience, the discussion did recently veer off-course and has now been locked from further engagement by community mods. -

Why do you care? Your messages are still E2E-encrypted, those won't show ads. Why do you care if you see a promoted channel once in a while or during status updates? I see a bunch of random s**t all the time on those, anyway, so I really don't pay attention.
