“We bring a bit of our experience in working with communities to these game studios to make sure that we’re not all just wasting our time,” Marchand said. And game studios enhance their games by outsourcing content creation to talented and passionate gamers, maximizing shelf life and engagement. The creators of these in-game apps and mods can turn their passion into a profession, earning a sustainable income for their creations. Gamers get in-game apps and mods that make gameplay more exciting. Marchand said that everybody wins with community-created experiences. In addition to capital, portfolio studios will have early access to CurseForge Core which will enable them to easily integrate mods safely and seamlessly into their new games. Overwolf’s CurseForge Core enables game studios to integrate open-source SDKs and plugins to let players discover and install mods in-game, across all platforms and storefronts. Investments may also be deployed to the community of in-game creators for these studios, in order to establish a strong two-sided marketplace. In addition to providing support for in-game creators, the new fund will also make investments in studios creating new games that will incorporate community-created mods into their titles.


“It’s also funds that would be directed to the community to incentivize creation.” “These are not just equity investments,” Marchand said. The new fund will support the work and projects of in-game app creators and mod authors, as well as game studios who plan to integrate mods into new titles.
