Overwolf are absolute scumbags.
I will not use this crap program. I'll do as I do now and support addon authors through patreon.
It looks like it's cool to hate on overwolf now. seriously, 70% of revenue goes to devs. what's wrong with you people? there has been zero constructive criticism in this comment section to overwolf, people just found a devil and they will stick to it doesn't matter what
What a load of crock, screw that company. So glad I just manually install my add-ons nowadays.

Welp, back to manual install if it happens. I rather not support and use Overwolf.
Big corporation whining about small open source software the provide light malware-free alternative that isn't trying to spy on your folders to sell your personal info to targeted ad companies. Cry me a river.
I wouldn't mind video ads in an addon manager, or another form of ads. I wouldn't mind some freemium like cursewas before twitch. I just don't want some piece of ^&*! intrusive spyware/adware crap software like the overwolf client.
The amount of people thinking that overwolf is trying to be the good guys here is baffling. Overwolf isn't doing this for the mod authors and out of kindness of their hearts, thats just how they sell their bs. Overwolf is doing this for overwolf. They are going to monetize addons and they spin this off as addon creators are suffering. Guess what, no one makes addons for money! thats against blizzard's tos.can't wait til overwolf capped the addon market and you need a "non-mandatory" sub to download more than 1 addon per hour and higher download speed than 3kb/sThey already went out and said they are adding a subscription service soon. And how will they get people to use that to make money ? by limiting $%^& so we are forced to sub.
I wish Minion would give it a go and work it out so more WoW mod authors would use their site for addons. It's a good interface but it doesn't have the amount of mods that CurseForge has, and many are not updated.
