24 Years of Legend: The Founder of Nexus Mods, the world’s largest gaming MOD website, stepped down

Passionategeekz On June 17, technology media NeoWin released a blog post yesterday (June 16), reporting that Nexus Mods, the world’s largest gaming module (mods) website, announced the handover of ownership. Its founder Robin Scott (community nickname “Dark0ne”) will withdraw from daily management after 24 years of its establishment.And hand over the ownership of the website to the new owner.

Passionategeekz quoted a blog post and introduced that Nexus Mods was founded in 2001 and has become an important platform for gamers and MOD creators. It has millions of registered users around the world, covering module resources for popular games such as “The Witcher 3”, “The Elder Scrolls”, and “The Ring of Eldon”. It is the world’s largest game module (mods) sharing website.

Founder Robin Scott recently announced through a blog that he will no longer be responsible for the daily management of the website and transfer ownership to the new owner. The identity of the new owner has not been disclosed, but Scott revealed that Foledinho (Victor) and Rapsak (Marinus) play more important roles in the website’s future operation.

Scott admitted that since the founding of Nexus Mods, his adult life has been almost occupied by website management and a huge “social network”. This almost 24/7 working state has brought him tremendous stress and anxiety, which has seriously affected his personal health and quality of life.

To avoid further “burnout”, he decided to withdraw from the executive role. Although the identity of the new owner has not been made public, Scott stressed that the withdrawal was purely personal reasons, not any behind-the-scenes transactions of any corporate. He will remain active in the forums and Mod Author Discord in the future, providing directional advice if necessary, but no longer assumes management responsibilities.

Scott’s departure announcement has sparked widespread response in the community, with most users expressing gratitude and appreciation for his efforts over the years. However, due to the diverse backgrounds of community users and often diverge in opinions, some discussions gradually deviate from the topic and even cause disputes. To maintain order, community administrators have locked in the discussions and prohibited further comments.
