Wowmatrix on curse6/11/2023 ![]() ![]() I don't remember how this resolved itself, but it wouldn't surprise me it Overwolf did the same thing. It's been years ago, but I remember when Curse and Wowinterface blocked Wowmatrix form downloading form thier site. I can see them blocking all of these other addon managers from downloading from Curse. It may end being the only game in town to manage you mods. Players can always download, install, and manage addons manually without using any 3rd party client like Twitch or Overwolf, although these services do significantly streamline that process.Īs much as it looks like Overwold is crap software. While this new acquisition does mean that players who previously used the twitch app to manage and update their addons will have to migrate to a new service, it's also important to remember that using addon management software of any kind is not required. They recently purchased Curseforge from Twitch, with the current Twitch Client shutting down on November 17th in favor of the standalone Overwolf app now launching on October 20th. If you want to chat more about this, head over to the Discord channel,įor those unware of Overwolf, it began as a tech framework to allow 3rd party developers to build gaming apps in HTML and JavaScript, with a number of apps now in operation supporting Valorant, League of Legends, Teamfight Tactics, Hearthstone, Rainbow Six, Path of Exile, World of Warcraft, and many, many more. Downloading addons from the CurseForge repository (website or client) means you are supporting authors for their work and helping the community grow.ĭownloading them from unauthorized distributors without creators’ consent, means that you’re not. The CurseForge monetization model of subscriptions and ad-revenue helps creators develop and maintain their projects. That means we’re releasing earlier and you will have a week to download and update your addons on the new client ahead of the much expected Shadowlands release.Īdditionally, the Twitch client will continue to support addons until November 17th.ħ0% of ad revenue and subscriptions will go to Authors. We heard your feedback and updated the release to October 20th. ![]() We’ve also made some adjustments following the responses, and we are happy to share them with wowhead readers and the WoW community: You can find relevant links in the newsletter that was shared in the article to contact us with any question, request a feature in our idea portal or follow our recent development updates. We want to thank you for sharing your honest opinions in the comments section. Other updates and planned features can be seen on their interactive Trello Roadmap. Their previous roadmap received a great number of comments, many of which focused on the inclusion of advertisements within their app - in keeping with their previous pledge to increase mod author earnings by 50% by 2022, this newest update has pledged 70% of ad revenue and portions of their future subscription model to go to addon authors, presumably using the current Curseforge rewards program. It's not yet clear if the official expansion delay will have any other impact on Overwolf's development cycle, but the intent seems to be getting the app live and into players hands as soon as possible, with a short closed alpha testing period beginning next Wednesday on October 7th. Interestingly, with Shadowlands having been delayed, the previous launch date of October 26th would have still come ahead of the expansion, however neither date will come before the arrival of the 9.0 prepatch on October 13th. With this update, the new owners of Curseforge have moved up the release of their WoW addon management app to October 20th in order to better prepare for the launch of Shadowlands. Following their previous development announcements, Overwolf reached out to Wowhead with updates to their October Roadmap. ![]()
