There are more than 100,000 mods on Nexus Mods for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim \u2013 Special Edition.<\/figcaption><\/p><\/figure>\n

Nexus Mods, a website known for hosting mods for thousands of PC games, has been handed over to new ownership, according to former owner Robin \u201cDark0ne\u201d Scott.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter months of meetings, face-to-face talks, and a whole lot of soul searching, I am thrilled to say that I truly believe I have found the exact right people for the task,\u201d Scott says in a post published on Monday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Scott, who launched the project in 2001, says that the site \u201chas been my entire adult life\u201d and that \u201cthe strain of being responsible for the behemoth I created\u201d had taken a toll. He realized he had been burning out and that he needed to bring in new leadership.<\/p>\n

Scott didn\u2019t specify who the new owner or owners are, and the company didn\u2019t immediately reply to a request for comment sent to its support email address. However, users will be seeing more of two people, who Scott identifies as \u201cFoledinho<\/a> (Victor)\u201d and \u201cRapsak<\/a> (Marinus),\u201d as they have \u201ccome on board to lead this next chapter,\u201d Scott says. \u201cThey\u2019ve got deep roots in gaming, tech, and most importantly, they give a damn; about the site, the community, and the future we\u2019re trying to build here.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the site has changed hands, Scott says that \u201cthis isn\u2019t some corporate \u2018exit\u2019 or a backroom deal.\u201d Instead, \u201cthis is me doing something I probably should\u2019ve 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scott will also still be a presence. \u201cI\u2019ll still be annoying people on the Mod Author Discord, lurking on the forums, and sticking my nose into community matters when I can\u2019t help myself,\u201d he says. And he\u2019ll work with the team to \u201chelp guide the overall direction of the site.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
