US EditionNexus Mods Owner Steps Down After 24 Years to Focus on Mental Health
- Robin 'Dark0ne' Scott has stepped down as owner of Nexus Mods in 2025 after running the site for 24 years to focus on his mental health.
- Scott made this decision due to burnout and the sustained stress of managing Nexus Mods, which he says has taken a personal toll over many years.
- Ownership of Nexus Mods transferred to new leaders Foledinho and Rapsak , who now share the 'Site Owner' title and lead a team of 40 people.
- Scott said this is not a corporate exit, that he will still guide the team and remain engaged with the community, and that the site remains community-first and mod-author focused.
- This leadership change marks the first in 24 years and aims to ensure Nexus Mods’ long-term stability and continued success as a key platform for PC game modding.
