The founder of mods hub, Nexus Mods, is leaving the outfit after it has "changed hands". 

In a post, Robin "Dark0ne" Scott said that he had decided to take a step back from the site, something he believed was both in his and "the community's best interest." The new owner goes by the handle 'Foledinho' and has assured users that mods would remain free. 

"I started this project back in 2001, in my bedroom, with a 56k modem, an excitement for the upcoming release of Morrowind, and with no grand ambitions or intentions," Scott wrote. 

"I didn’t set out to build a business, I just wanted to make a place where modders could share their work without worrying it would vanish into the internet, either the next time a fansite went offline or a publisher decided they were done with it. That idea grew legs, sprouted arms, and turned into Nexus Mods.

"Since then, this site has been my entire adult life. Every single day, for over two decades, I’ve been 'on call', whether it was fixing issues, reading feedback, pushing updates, or getting pulled into the latest bit of community drama. It’s been rewarding, sometimes chaotic, often exhausting and always personal. Somewhere along the way, I forgot to step back and breathe, or sleep properly. The dilemma of running a major social network that does not rest."
