Resetera users have discovered that both new owners named by Dark0ne work for a company called Chosen.

We partner with founders to help scale what they’ve built amplifying their impact, supporting their team and culture, and ensuring the business thrives for the long term.

From Chosen's "Why work with us?" section:

You’ve built something players love. We’re here to protect that magic and help it grow — with the care, creativity, and support it deserves.

It's vague to what extent this is a sale. Dark0ne mentioned the owners have "changed hands", but also mentions "I’ll also be working with the team to help guide the overall direction of the site, just without needing to be the person who signs off on every little thing and without taking responsibility for any and all things Nexus Mods".

In regards to Lifetime Premium, a Nexus Community Manager wrote this comment here:

Lifetime Premium means exactly that: Lifetime. There are no plans to revoke it. Beyond the fact that it wouldn’t make business sense, doing so would break trust with the community, which is the last thing we want. We’re committed to honouring the promises made to our supporters.

Wonder if my lifetime membership will stick around.

    I'm sure It will probably be fine for at least a year or two before the new owners manage to ruin it somehow but anyway I'll just go make sure I have a full backup of my 150 gigabytes of skyrim mods.

    The big question is whether this is for the better or worse.

    Not always! Giant Bomb going independent recently is one example.

    ... It's just mostly bad.

    i mean the current Washington commanders ownership change is at least, okay. compared to an owner who was litterally blackmailing cheerleaders on foreign soil and throwing other team coaches under the bus to distract people from his own case.

    He said he'd gradually been transitioning away for some time now. But I'd like Nexus to be more forthcoming about the current owner who has apparently been increasingly active.

    So far no changes in the official UK company listings has happened for the black tree gaming ltd. (they have 14 days to list changes in ownership based on UK law). So far this seems like internal change, but we will see in the following days. But I must agree, the site has been going downhill for quite some time. "Announcement" itself was weighing in heavily on emotions than data and details, which is sleazy way of avoiding saying the important stuff. Theres no way those two had the money to do a "buyout" unless they won a lottery and if some corpo bought them out, there would be leaks or something tangible (so far theres nothing, but its too early I guess).
