My GOD Curse. Take some of your money and buy wowmatrix. You obviously can&#39;t develop a decent updater yourself. Due to your actions, I have to use two broken clients, and manual installs to update what used to be easy and free. </p> <p>Combine that with the timing of the whole thing. You did it when it would cause the most disruption possible to your would-be customers? Why? I can guarantee it wasn&#39;t for your regard for customers.</p> <img src="http://my.curse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=467388" width="1" height="1"></description></item><item><title /><link>http://my.curse.com/blogs/fron/archive/2009/05/02/updating-addons-goes-commercial.aspx#466690</link><pubDate>Sun, 03 May 2009 19:01:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">045f8e2a-3b25-43b2-9769-9c60de2974e3:466690</guid><dc:creator>PixelMuse</dc:creator><description><p>Imho it has been disapointing to see Curse go more and more commercial over the years. The site is filled with advertisements... background ads, banner ads, ads on the updater and sometimes when I go to wow.curse.com I am stuck viewing a full page advertisement where I have to click &nbsp;&#39;skip ad&#39; to continue to the page I wanted to see in the first place. </p> <p>Now with all these ads I am sure that Curse is making decent revenue to provide a profit for their excellent site. Don&#39;t misunderstand I think Curse.com is an awesome resource to the gaming community and feel that they deserve something for their efforts. I feel the same way about addon developers. However where is the limit? It seems to becoming so overly commercial that frankly it is a turn-off. </p> <p>I don&#39;t use wowmatrix, never have and I disapprove strongly in what they are doing, but it seems like Curse charging for full features in their updater was the wrong route to go. </p> <img src="http://my.curse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=466690" width="1" height="1"></description></item><item><title /><link>http://my.curse.com/blogs/fron/archive/2009/05/02/updating-addons-goes-commercial.aspx#465478</link><pubDate>Sat, 02 May 2009 14:27:46 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">045f8e2a-3b25-43b2-9769-9c60de2974e3:465478</guid><dc:creator>nyxtyr</dc:creator><description><p>wowmatrix was stealing from curse and wowinterface hence the reason for blocking it</p> <img src="http://my.curse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=465478" width="1" height="1"></description></item><item><title /><link>http://my.curse.com/blogs/fron/archive/2009/05/02/updating-addons-goes-commercial.aspx#465473</link><pubDate>Sat, 02 May 2009 14:22:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">045f8e2a-3b25-43b2-9769-9c60de2974e3:465473</guid><dc:creator>dotted</dc:creator><description><p>Fail rant is fail</p> <img src="http://my.curse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=465473" width="1" height="1"></description></item><item><title /><link>http://my.curse.com/blogs/fron/archive/2009/05/02/updating-addons-goes-commercial.aspx#465471</link><pubDate>Sat, 02 May 2009 14:15:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">045f8e2a-3b25-43b2-9769-9c60de2974e3:465471</guid><dc:creator>Indelible</dc:creator><description><p>You don&#39;t have to pay for the updater.
