Other dedicated WoW addon hosts include Tukui and wago.io. Some are holding their breath to see what happens when the old API is finally turned off. Other popular addon managers like Cursebreaker and Ajour folded. I decided to remove Curseforge support from Strongbox entirely. Overwolf also made it very clear that access to their addons will only happen under their terms, requiring a rather draconian and unfair legal agreement to be signed. Overwolf are being particularly aggressive with monetisation and locking down APIs that have been free to use (but undocumented) for many years.
Both have been around for a long time.Ĭurseforge merged with Ace, was bought by Twitch and then sold to Overwolf. wowinterface has the better community but is less popular than curseforge and a lot of addon authors will only publish on one host. The two largest addon hosts are and Curseforge. I also maintain a list of WoW addon managers past and present. I have a WoW addon manager project called Strongbox targeted at Linux users. Long time lurker here, thought I'd take a moment and describe the state of things. Quoting: Raaben Quoting: ssj17vegetaA command line tool would be neat too, to update the addons just before launching the gameThere was Cursebreaker, but thanks to Overwolf's changes that and other addon managers are left to die out in favor of their adware/spyware delivery monitization client.
