Soften up restrictions for API access to 3rd party
The one of advantages of Curseforge's platform was the ability to choose how you want to experience modpacks, with what launcher and such. With new announcement, Overwolf wants to restrict the choice of how want to play. New projects will automatically restrict them to curseforge only, and creators couldn't even know about this.
Please reconsider some of decisions here. Players deserve a choice of how they want to play.

Thank you for the feedback and everyone who voted and commented. At this point we do not have plans of changing the submission flow. Every author can choose the option that suits them, there's no default choice.

I agree with this — locking players and creators into one platform takes away the freedom that made modded Minecraft thrive in the first place. Options and flexibility are what kept the community growing for years. Glad to see the clarification, but still hope Overwolf keeps player choice as a priority.

perhaps, id consider peoples ethics on such things as a community , there's blatant mod abuse corruption which i have evidence and plenty of good belief. theres too much stress on the moderation team overall with NA based customer service representation. and less opportunity for fair and quality driven case sorting. only a suggestion with 3rd party restrictions, is community (even virtual) change :)
i think you should make servers for pepole to be together in the same modded worl what am trying to say is just make a server for pepole and friends
I think the best "default" choice is to delete everything from curse and put it on github. It's always been poorly run, but damn, good job Satan.
Nice information

curseforge moment
Hi all
Rip curseforge never again.
Just give up on CurseForge and Twitch - it's clear they have zero consideration for users and are happy to ruin the platform for profit.

I will be moving away from using any mods that rely on Curseforge for hosting their mods/modpacks because of this. I understand as a business you need to make money but taking away a feature people are used to without at the very least providing an alternative is just a stupid business decision.
