Yet another Timewalking loot post ( As directed by GM)

Why should add-on creators be paid in the first place? If the "necessary evil" for getting paid is a malware infested product that the developers have no control over, maybe... another approach is preferred?Originally Posted by Clozer

I don't think supporting each addon author AND playing wow is even an acceptable idea. People can support if they want to but expecting all wow players past and current to do so is kinda unrealistic Originally Posted by Clozer

Optional donations are they way. I've given money to services I've really enjoyed over the years because I've spent the last 15 years or so with an adblocker permanently on. Originally Posted by otaXephon

If you're relying on making WoW addons for revenue, you have serious life issues. Originally Posted by Clozer

Yes, then provide another approach and I'm sure a lot of developers will leave curse. Originally Posted by otaXephon

If they don't play the game the ToS don't apply to them. Originally Posted by niztheundead87

The problem is overwolf I'd thinking of working on a subscription model so while you won't pay for the add-ons directly you will have to pay to have access to the add-on manager Originally Posted by Alvito

Which still doesn't mean anything to them about WoW ToS. You are also worrying about what if's not what is actually happening. Originally Posted by niztheundead87

As @Toybox mentioned, optional buy-in services like Patreon can provide financial backing for add-on developers. OW seemingly wants a monopoly on monetized add-on creation, however, so they can have their piece of the pie, too. This doesn't seem very consumer-friendly. Originally Posted by Clozer

An addon manager is an optional service. You can use the addons for free. Originally Posted by Toybox

Dumped the twitch app for WoWup today, gotta say it's a much faster alternative that's still very easy to use.
I hope I can keep using it, it seems likely that addon creators will move to a new site if Overwolf locks down Curse.( ° ͜ʖ͡°)╭∩╮
