With this change, Addon management will be leaving the Twitch Client in the near future, moving to Overwolf app.
In a surprising move, Twitch has announced that they have sold CurseForge, the home of many mods, including WoW's addons, to Overwolf. Really, it was almost as big of a draw for players to join the client as Twitch’s streaming services themself were. Players that wanted mods for games like Minecraft, Darkest Dungeon, World of Warcraft, and countless more were using the Twitch client. This access alone was a big enough draw for millions to end up downloading the Twitch client, as the title holds countless mods for seemingly endless titles. Since that merger, players using CurseForge for their addons have needed to go through the Twitch desktop app to access their addons. Originally a stand-alone product, the company was eventually bought by Twitch. One of the biggest clients for addons on PCs is the CurseForge client, a reputable and well-known source for addons and mods for quite some time. While there are some modding clients on consoles, addons and mods thrive on PC games, providing graphical updates and at times seemingly entirely different gaming experiences. Whether you’re replacing the dragons in Skyrim with a stretched-out version of Macho Man Randy Savage or just making it easier to collect resources in an MMORPG, addons are intrinsic with most gaming. Nowadays, most games seem to be played with addons and mods.
