Nexus Mods Owner Steps Down After 24 Years to Focus on Mental Health

  • Robin 'Dark0ne' Scott, creator of Nexus Mods, stepped down and sold the site after running it for 24 years to focus on his mental health.
  • Scott cited the strain and stress of managing the extensive modding platform as the primary reason for the leadership change.
  • Nexus Mods, founded in 2001 as an Elder Scrolls fan site, became the top destination for PC game modifications and now operates with a 40-person team.
  • Scott assured the community this turnover is not a corporate exit and promised the new owners prioritize long-term sustainability and a community-first approach.
  • The ownership change marks a new era aimed at maintaining Nexus Mods’ role as a mod-author focused platform while addressing Scott’s well-being.
