After almost 24 years of running Nexus Mods, the time has come for me to step back from the day-to-day management of the site. This isn't a decision I've made lightly - far from it - but one I think is in both my and the community's best interests.

So yes, the ownership of Nexus Mods has changed hands, but I want to be clear, this isn't some corporate "exit" or a backroom deal. This is me doing something I probably should've 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.

Hopefully this doesn't mean bad news for the future. Only time will tell.

I never even heard of this website until now unfortunately. I stick to niche modding sites like Sonic Retro since I mainly only mod the 8-bit Sonic games so I wasn't even aware of this site. (I know of Game Banana though.) I hope the community and site will continue to flourish even without Dark0ne being around. We need sites like Nexus Mods to make installing mods for people's favorite games easier.

Unfortunately, it seems like it was sold to a business called Chosen. They apparently buy gaming startups to increase profitability.

The fact that Dark0ne didn't disclose the company in the post is concerning.
