Twitch Acquires Curse

[Deleted]

All those free addons that we have been using. You can kiss the free part goodbye. Bet the farm we see some type of monetization. If Amazon/twitch didn't see a viable way to make a steady profit they wouldn't have even bothered. Imagine if all your addons just disappeared. Now imagine what you would give to have them back. Addons like DBM , I see $4.99 a month. would you give it? You can bet somebody , somewhere is figuring up what the community would give for each addon and at a decent price that they know the customer will give. The wheels are turning...

curse wont charge for addons in a game, cos someone will make a client justl ike curse did for free

There is free Curse and Premium Curse already.

Blizz already has taken a stand against paying for addons, (Curse premium you are paying for the fast,simultaneous addon downloads not the addons, so they say)

like i said u dnt have to pay $ to use the client do you, curse premium is pointless, most people dnt have alot of addons to warrant premium and if you do then i bet your game screen on wow looks terrible

lol what the fuck are you talking about? You realize these addons are just uploaded on the Curse website and aren't being developed by actual Curse employees, right?

Also Curse is a garbage company, has always been a garbage company, and will continue to be garbage after this purchase. I really wish it would just die out.

I will now end all of my posts in OT with either the phrase "kappa" or "raise your dongers". You're welcome.

Also, posts in OT will involve 300000% more emojis.

So uhm, you know that posting on Curse doesn't mean they own your addon right? Even if they have a "we can do what we want with your addon" clause for uploaders, the original author retains the copyright and the right to upload it to any other website they want for free -- which would probably kill Curse as everybody seeking those addons would abandon it for the free alternatives. Not happening.

I also use the Curse website to download my addons. Just because I hate a company doesn't mean that it isn't convenient.

Also, I started using this website before it became apart of the network and I was sad to see that they acquired this site.

Adblock still lets abs through if they pay for it. Just browse MMO champ on mobile, the ads are out of control.

Curse has no rights with the addons, nor do they create them. They only help with distribution.

For someone whose does their research, you keep pushing Adblock which has been proven to be worthless and easily by-passed.

That's kind of funny in it's own way.

Actually it's rather terrifying.

Same can be said with Steam and Skyrim mods. But they sure as hell tried a way to profit from them. Glad that failed.
