Agree. I don't know why I can't log in with my curse account. First thing that annoyed me. I'm going to try to get over it though as I really do want this to work.
Most likely, this is due to the fact that all Curse accounts are being transitioned into Twitch accounts. Why support something that is going to be transitioned into another thing, that wouldn't make sense, right?
I guess, but it was still frustrating to see Curse is building an app, thinking, "oh, I have a curse account and I like curse" then to get here and be told "Oh, you need a twitch account". I didn't realize Twitch and curse were so closely intertwined (I don't use twitch or have a twitch account, or at least I didn't) but I've used curse for years for WoW and other MMOs.
The reasoning (I assume) behind not using a Curse account is because Twitch acquired them and even the Curse software is transitioning to just the Twitch software so your Curse and Twitch account will soon be the same thing
The problem with that is since they're not already the same thing I had to make a Twitch account to log in, so now I'll have two accounts that I assume they'll have to merge? Because they're both using the same email address?
It's not a big deal, it was just a minor inconvenience, but I wanted to post because whoever started this thread (ZalbarTheMad) basically said the same thing I was thinking in my head.
...what absolute genius thought that was a good idea?
Why not a curse account?
...you know...because that would actually make sense.

Hey guys,
all our sites are starting to do Twitch account merges. All our new sites going forward will be using Twitch accounts, and not Curse accounts.
I do stuff, sometimes.
