There’s nothing for Blizz to do. All the addons are within Blizz’s guidelines for addons

@Kaivax

1. Add-ons must be free of charge.
   All add-ons must be distributed free of charge. Developers may not create “premium” versions of add-ons with additional for-pay features, charge money to download an add-on, charge for services related to the add-on, or otherwise require some form of monetary compensation to download or access an add-on.

A website that hosts them and has ads still falls within the rules since Blizz can’t do anything about a website not charging users anything and only blocking api access

I get how you guys feel though, I 100% will not be using overwolf, I decided this back when they first announced “ads or a premium service”

Except it does violate the policy.

or otherwise require some form of monetary compensation to download or access an add-on.

Forcing people to view ads, which grants monetary value to them, is indeed profiting off addons.

I encourage everyone to email WoWUI@Blizzard.com to make sure they’re aware of what Overwolf is doing, if the forum CMs don’t address it. (At least I hope that email still works. It’s the email listed in the Addon Policy Threads)
