I think GDlauncher should just make a workaround, and then leave the code easily tweakable by the user with a few file changes or something. Personally I don't think it should be valid, but it is as far as the law is concerned and in this case it's not technically being used monopolistically. Now I would probably argue that Curseforge being able to put a URL reconstruction clause in their TOS fringing on monopolistic, but it's certainly not illegal or tortious as there are far more restrictive TOS out there that are totally legitimate.
#GD LAUNCHER MOD#
The issue with monopolies is that they deprive people of choice, mod makers simply not letting their mods be downloaded by other launchers is not an issue of monopolistic control it's just an issue from people choosing to have their things put where they want them and nowhere else.
It causing issues or us not liking it doesn't make it a monopolistic problem. You can't blame Curseforge for being a big bad monopoly for giving mod makers choice, that is the OPPOSITE of the issue with monopolies. Curseforge does some stupid crap but this isn't on them.Īnd yes, reading more of this thread, Scrumplex confirmed this very thing, it is a thing that mod makers can opt into. Stop trying to spin blame on parties that don't deserve it just because you don't like them. Modrinth exists, the only reason it isn't available to use in GDlauncher is by the choice of GDlauncher, that's not an issue on Curseforge, that's an issue on GDlauncher. That's exactly how monopolies work and attempt to justify themselves.Ĭurseforge literally isn't a monopoly and this is on mod devs from what I understand. Maybe try asking the mod authors nicely to turn it on? And technically it is the mod authors who have chosen not to let you download their mod through the API. For what? They're under no obligation to let anyone use their API.
