Hey, all you guys shrieking against the ruthless profiteering of the thuggish capitalist overlord Overwolf - how many of you have ever once donated to or supported an addon maker?Room Goes Quiet.Yeah, thought so.
This sounds like they are trying to stop people from using competing addon manager programs...Thank you so much curse for selling out to this company. >_<
WoWHead or MMO Champion need to step up and save us from these bastards.
Wow. Why such vociferous anger at Overwolf?
Overwolf is like tp they flush well.
Just gonna throw out a link to WoWInterface - with a little bit of juice they could take off. Already have an excellent addon manager. Right now what they lack is support of addon authors.https://www.wowinterface.com/addons.php
yeah *!@# overwolf for wanting to pay addon creators /s
Addon managers are not 'scraping', they are using the API, this term is being used to cause confusion. They are not hosting, nor are they 'taking' any files."Distribute the authors’ intellectual property without their consent" - This is nonsense. The files are being transferred from CurseForge to the user's WoW directories which is exactly what the authors intended. It is no different than using Firefox vs Chrome to transfer the file."Prevent us from tracking engagement, and therefore you impact authors’ earnings" - Also nonsense. OW can have the API bump a counter. If it isn't tracked it is an OW choice.
are curseforge scrapings bad for your health? do they stain the carpet? are they as hard as glitter to get out of the laundry?
