After 24 years in the modding biz, the founder of Nexus Mods—easily the biggest mod site on Earth—finally hung up the creation kit yesterday. Robin 'Dark0ne' Scott announced in a news post that he was leaving behind the daily running of the site, telling millions of users that "The strain of being responsible for the behemoth I created has taken its toll."
In Scott's place came new owners, and that's where things immediately got dicey. The people taking up the reins were only referred to in Scott's post by their first name and site username, but after a bit of digging by Nexus users, people quickly put together that the site had come under the umbrella of a company called Chosen, whose homepage declares "We partner. We amplify. We conquer."
