The plan is to distribute 70-80% of ad revenue to modders, while the company keeps the remainder. The positive news is that Overwolf wants this to be a good way for creators to earn money based on how frequently their mods and add-ons are used. Not that Twitch’s app wasn’t doing its job properly, but modders generally seem to be much happier after the change. “As we move to onboard mods onto our platform, we’re positioning Overwolf as the industry standard for building in-game creations.”īased on what users have said about this transition, the new CurseForge app is cleaner-looking and very user-friendly.
This is because Overwolf purchased the mod-management platform CurseForge from Twitch, with the aim of making modding a “legit profession”, according to this statement: Players can now use the CurseForge app, which is owned by Overwolf. Unfortunately, downloading World of Warcraft Add-ons is no longer possible via the Twitch app.
