But there is one thing in common on all 4...
ALL LET YOU DISTRIBUTE THEIR WORK!!!
This instance of blocking wowmatrix.. is not done with nothing in mind other then wowinterface and curse making money from ads off developers
Because wowmatrix is a GOOD THING TO DEVELOPERS!! As it expose the addon to a broader public, with a far easier method to upkeep.
Its easier to maintain and keep upto date the addon on one single website.
The one we use for PREFERENCE,
But if we want to hit most of the public we are obliged to update to any and all websites, because users will most of the time only install ONE (1) addon manager..
Who got the shaft here? users and developers.
Users that lost the ability to have a broad range of addons on one program
developers that lost the ability to expose their addon to the mass more easily without having to remember to update 20x websites when you do a simple fix..
While the only one here that is making money is the one complaining..
There is nothing to be happy about this "NERF"
There is no protection..
Its just sad how can people be so naive
