What happened
The World of Warcraft community is experiencing an influx of AI-generated game addons and analysis tools ahead of the release of World of Warcraft: Forever. Consequently, data provider Warcraft Logs is restricting its free API and introducing paid commercial keys to manage the surge of low-effort apps, while longtime developers are making their GitHub repositories private to prevent AI-assisted plagiarism.
