Overwolf (Who owns Curseforge) is an israeli company which is supporting the genocide in palestine and funding the IDF

Dont use curseforge anymore.

For downloading game mods: If it's Minecraft, use Modrinth instead, for any other games use gamebanana or nexusmods.

The original tweet appears to have been deleted. and im unable to find it on Archive.org, but the tweets are still indexed by google.

They're still openly raising money for Israel, though instead of the IDF in specific its just general "those affected by the Hamas attacks"

A lot of modders have been steadily moving to Modrinth to publish their mods, but a lot of mods and modpacks are stil available only through CurseForge or FTB apps (FTB is partnered with Overwolf).

if you are using the CurseForge launcher, I'm here to tell you that you can very easily migrate to PrismLauncher.

Thankfully, the CurseForge launcher offers a convenient way to extract your instances (profiles as it calls it) which you can then import into Prism.

Go into your profile and press the 3 dots. There, click "Export profile"

Select all the files and folders

This will create a zip file of your instance and open the folder in which it saved it. Just drag and drop the zip into Prism.

With certain modpacks, Prism will show you a message saying some mods aren't available for download through 3rd party launchers. It will give you a link to the mod as well as the folder which it is watching. Just manually download that mod into that folder and Prism will take it and put it where it needs to.

Ta-da! Your instance is now on a different launcher, with all your worlds and settings.

Statement from Overwolf

...Okay, first of all, this whole statement is sadly nothing but them taking the same exact route as before: misdirecting & changing the narrative to only be about "victims" when their Home Support initiative is partnered with the ILF, an openly Zionist organization. This isn't about innocent parties only when they're partnered with an organization that contributes directly towards IDF Military Intelligence. All of the money from the fund goes to the ILF's bank account to distribute, per their own FAQ page. And even without that, the association alone is enough to boycott. Overwolf and Curseforge cannot be "clean of politics" while their CEO partners with and therefore directly supports Zionist parties.

Screenshots directly from Home Support website & ILF website

This statement overall stinks because it puts the blame fully onto people with legitimate concerns by calling them all harassers. Have some people gone too far towards creators? 100%. I know that well. But Overwolf is clearly using that to deflect off of themselves, and this is why it never should have been done in the first place. Y'all focused on the wrong shit- the smaller targets instead of the big ones, and the wrong claim that they're directly funding the IDF with CF revenue, and now they're doing exactly what I said they would: once again using the fact that that's not technically true to weasel out of people's concerns. They even directly call out the fact that it's misinformation like I said they would! They clarified fucking nothing, they repeated the same shit they already said because they know they can. We need to change the focus of the boycott so that they are forced to address their actual wrongdoing! Stop spending all your time sending threatening messages on anon and instead spread factual information with sources and reach out to creators in good faith effort to get them to speak without the fear of being attacked. They will stay silent as long as the negative consequences (financially & socially) is all on them and not Overwolf & EA.

I'm still working on a comprehensive post with everything, but in the meantime, please spread this post around.

Little update on our projects in the future

Due to concerning recent developments with Overwolf (who owns CurseForge) we have decided we will not be putting any of our projects on their platform. You will be able to find us on Modrinth when our projects are released. This includes Squashed and the Dye Mod.

The reasoning being Overwolf's involvement with funding the IDF, encouraging others to do the same, as well as numerous other issues and decisions the platform has made as of late that makes experiences worse for both creators and users.

As a user, I would encourage you to use alternatives like Modrinth and Prism Launcher. To any other modders out there, I would recommend abandoning Curse as a platform and moving to Modrinth as well.

does edge.forgecdn.net has anything to do with curseforge?

[levibonk]

let's fucking gooooo

[soft-sunbird]

Aw hell nah

This was shown in the reveal trailer last year. Some content creators like lilsimsie voiced their concerns about it back then.

Krafton, the company that makes Inzoi, also partnered with CF for mods.

As a reminder, CF is owned by a zionist company that has made it clear they support the IDF. For more information about this, I highly suggest checking out @simmers-against-curseforge.

Friendly reminder to my moots that Inzoi’s build mode uses generative AI for the creation of things like art and wallpaper and it’s not worth melting our planet for a vidya game thank you

Dear Santa,

Please kill Discord. I want XFire and Overwolf back, and not as apps

[headdunk]

unforseen upset: byond bumped down to 2nd most sketchy program willingly installed after overwolf opens browser window on uninstall

[juststubborn]

Any tech savvy here? I've got a question about reg.file

[sims-n-such]

Fuck them. They wanna know why I'm deleting? I'll let them know

I'm sorry to sending this ask to you, but I don't know where else to say it, my blog has like negative number of followers and no one will hear me there, and I remember you reblogging that post about curseforge supporting israeli army? You know the Wix site some simmers upload their cc to? It's an israeli company with hq in tel aviv, listed in usa. Maybe some people would want to stop using it if they knew.

thank you for bringing this up again anon, i was wondering yesterday if some missed that anti-curseforge post... wix is also on the BDS list of companies to boycott for supporting Israel, but i haven't seen much discussion of its role in our community specifically.

DON'T USE CURSEFORGE

DON'T USE WIX

Wix asked their employees to create pro-Israel content and fired an employee for condemning Israel

Wix offers "Stand With Israel" website badges

Wix is Israel's most valuable company

Wix employees have been called up to reserve service in the IDF

The CurseForge | Overwolf statement is pathetic at best from every perspective I'm qualified to give (consumer, political organizing, public relations, international relations), but the funniest part is that it operates the same as most Isr propaganda has been these past few months:

the statement is not to convince people who are righteously boycotting the platform to return; it's to make people who don't care enough to do so, but will in order to avoid the social cost, feel better about continuing to support a company based in a settler-colonial apartheid state that has made it clear - and indirectly reiterates this in the statement - that they stand by that state.

Continue applying pressure, especially on EA.

Happened to see this and thought yall might be interested in seeing it, if you've been looking forward to inZOI.

Edit: fyi I'm bringing this up in a negative sense, due to the current overwolf/curseforge boycott. Just in case anyone was confused lol.
