Curse was a gaming company that managed the video game mod host CurseForge, wiki host Gamepedia, and the Curse Network of gaming community websites.
The company was headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, and had offices in San Francisco, New York City, Los Angeles, Brighton, and Berlin.
Curse initially focused on offering mods for various video games. As it expanded, the company began to develop and acquire gaming communities (particularly focusing on MMORPG titles such as World of Warcraft, as well as other games such as Minecraft), wikis, as well as offering voice chat services. The company also sponsored an eponymous eSports club, which competed primarily in League of Legends.
In August 2016, Curse announced that it had agreed to be acquired by Amazon via its subsidiary Twitch Interactive for an undisclosed amount.[3] In December 2018, Fandom announced that they had acquired Curse Media that included Gamepedia wiki farm and D&D Beyond.[4][5] The remainder of Curse's assets stayed with Twitch. In the middle of 2020, CurseForge was sold from Twitch to Overwolf.[6][7]
