I don't know enough about Overwolf to say yay or nay, but it is possible to use r2modman/Thunderstore without Overwolf, since I never had it installed yet I have mods published on Thunderstore + used it in the past for using mods. So I don't feel like Overwolf being bad should translate to r2modman+Thunderstore also being bad by association.
- noirscape 1y agoIt's more a warning to not get the Overwolf version of "Thunderstore", which is what they named their mod manager. R2modman is fine, but because it exists on the grace of what appears to be a third party (Overwolf), it could be shut down at any point. Which is mildly concerning.
- diggan 1y ago> but because it exists on the grace of what appears to be a third party (Overwolf), it could be shut down at any point The source of r2modman is available, and under a FOSS-compatible license (https://github.com/ebkr/r2modmanPlus https://github.com/ebkr/r2modmanPlus), together with a relatively small but dedicated community. Ideally, the actual file sharing shouldn't be centralized (imho), but it sounds overly alarmist to say it can be shut down at any point.
