In December 2015, the website reported a possible security breach of account names, and recommended that its members change their passwords.įinancial information was not breached, as the website uses PayPal for all transactions. Revenue instead came from premium memberships, with the site otherwise free. Scott indicated in 2013 that the Nexus sites would remain free of corporate investment in the foreseeable future, also avoiding direct ads. This resulted in more than 200 additional games being supported by early 2017. Scott made use of the TESSource website with his new venture. Scott soon became tired with the revenue of the websites being split when he was operating the websites by himself, and made the decision to break away from TESSource in 2007 and founded his own website under the name of TESNexus.
After the success of Morrowind Chronicles, Scott and the friend he was working alongside founded a company by the name of GamingSource and created the website TESSource, which allowed users to upload their modifications and content for games in The Elder Scrolls video game series.
Nexus Mods was founded by Robin Scott and a friend in August 2001 as a fan site for the Bethesda Softworks game The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind under the name of Morrowind Chronicles.
