The point is that Overwolf is defending themselves from the API allegations in this thread. If you want to accuse them of being liars, go ahead. Only time will tell. Iâm using Ajour and it hasnât been shut down yet.
Link has been updated since it was originally posted. Too be honest, I donât actually care what Overwolf does with their property (curseforge) that is up to them. They will either meet the communityâs needs or destroy it. I donât have any stakes in the matter. I get my addons from alternative sites with their own management apps.
well according to the creator of wowup, they are shutting down tho
We all knew from the beginning that one day the powers that be would be coming one day. That day was yesterday. Yesterday I was approached by a member of the Overwolf team who essentially told me I could either join them by embedding WowUp into their framework or stop using the CurseForge API.
Today I had a meeting with the Overwolf team. Despite many theories swirling around it was not as eventful as you might have hoped. The call went fine. Options for continuing to use the CF API were discussed for a majority of the meeting in hopes of finding a way to coexist while continuing to benefit the authors. After all, helping authors continue to create things that we like should be the main goal of each application. No concrete solutions were decided on during said meeting so hopefully we will continue communicating for the benefit of the community.
Ok now what?
One takeaway from the meeting was that nothing is changing yet. So, for now itâs business as usual continuing to provide a client that does what you need. Weâve gotten a lot of suggestions and requests over the last few days that weâre in the process of organizing so we can get those out to the 2.0 alpha as soon as possible.
u do know overwolf ownership doesnât take effect till the 20th right? so of course nothing changes yet. but already throwing their weight aroundâŚtrust them all u want. I will not
You donât need every single update. Addons will tell you when theyâre too out of date and need to be updated. When that happens, just check all your addons, it takes literally 5 minutes max.
Absolutely none.of that says theyâre shutting down. You failed to comprehend what was said.
Vague and not the actual quote of what Overwolf said.
Meaning they could join up or voluntarily not use the API. It was a veiled threat. Nowhere did Overwolf say âyou canât use the API.â They asked Wowup to voluntarily stop using it.
