Overview

• Founder Robin “Dark0ne” Scott sold Nexus Mods after 24 years and stepped back from daily operations citing burnout and stress-related health issues.
• The acquisition was finalized by Chosen, a firm specializing in scaling community platforms, led by co-founders Victor Folmann and Marinus Elgaard now embedded within the Nexus team.
• Chosen’s leadership has assured that mod downloads will remain free, lifetime premium subscriptions will be honored and there will be no paid mods, NFTs or aggressive monetization.
• Scott will continue to advise on the site’s direction through forums and the Mod Author Discord without holding final decision-making authority.
• Despite lingering user concerns over transparency and future changes, the new owners have committed to a transparent, listening approach aimed at earning the community’s trust.
