You’re definitely not going to see any ads inside WoW addons or anything wonky like that. That said - you’ll never see an ad in-game, just in-app. Eventually, as we’ve seen with gaming apps, we believe non-intrusive in-app ads will support mod authors and help them invest more time and effort in their creations. Clearly, subscription will be one of these options, but we’re also thinking about an opt-out without payment. But, in parallel - for those who do not wish to support creators, we’re thinking about ways of opting out. You might remember the ads on the old Curse client, before the Twitch acquisition, so we’re thinking about iterating on that experience.

With 70–80% of ad revenue going to creators and distributed based on mod usage, we want to look into incorporating in-app ads in a way that is not intrusive. We want to make modding a legit profession, and we want to find ways for modders to make a living. The website will stay exactly the same, and the mod manager will leave the Twitch client and become a dedicated CurseForge app for PC and Mac.

CurseForge will remain a standalone brand, within the Overwolf family of apps. We’re getting all the code from Twitch, so we’ll start with everything as is, and then gradually add new features and tools like global search and smart sync, based on the needs and interests of the community.ĭefinitely not. A dedicated CurseForge team of engineers inside Overwolf will be in charge of continuously improving the Curseforge app to be the best mod manager out there.
