IMO the DB updates and new features added to C:MANO over the years, MORE than justify me spending some money to support them, and I thought the 50% discount for prior owners was extremely generous. Just wanted to add some appreciation.

Dude, I bought C:MANO in February of 2019.
I later had to buy C:MO in November of 2019 so I technically got more screwed over than you did but I'm not salty at all!

Although I don't agree with the OP about the release of the new game, I do agree with him that it is a strange decision from the developers to remove pre-CMO DLC from CMANO store (I checked on Steam and the DLC store is empty). Since when are DLC's removed with the release of new games ?

Devs can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think if you buy the pre-CMO DLC, the serial number will work on CMNAO. I know I use the same serial number on both CMNAO and CMO. The CMNAO downloader is an all inclusive file. It contains all the DLC up to the point of CMO. You just activate it with the serial number.
That has been my experience with it.

I have both CMANO and CMO and I simply add the DLC/s using the CMANO updater and they work fine (you can also then automatically use them in CMO). Of course, the LIVE DLCs from Broken Shield and up would have to be added strictly through CMO but from King Of The Border and before it should all work normally as before.

I don't know about Steam (because I don't use it) but DLCs can still be bought separately and Northern Inferno, Chains of War, Shifting Sands, Silent Service, and Desert Storm can still be used as standalone games. I know this because I just bought those a couple months ago and they work fine for me.

Don't argue using logic, facts, or experience. It seems to have no effect.

That, unfortunately, seems to be how the entire world is working now.[&:]

You know, although I haven't made the jump to CMO (yet!) my experience of CMANO runs thus:
Few years back, bought Northern Inferno, mainly to see if CMANO was for me, but at a much reduced price (standalone dlc).
Gave NI a whirl, then felt happier with justifying to myself the shelling out for full CMANO (which I STILL got less 50% during the annual festive sale [:)])
Downloaded the (huge) community scenario pack, adding probably 000's hours of (free) additional gameplay to an already enormous experience (BIG thanks to the dedicated community).
So all told, have spent approx. £50 on a 'game' (I use the word loosely - 'incredibly deep, complex simulator' would be more accurate) which has amazed/ challenged/ frustrated/ intrigued me for nigh-on 5 years now, and probably will for another 5 (Covid allowing, and pending the next festive sale... go on Matrix, tempt me again [:D])
And all the while, CMANO was updated/ improved with startling regularity by the devs who, having reached the point of stretching the old game as far as it would go, invested their expertise in giving us CMO.
Meanwhile, my son, for the last 5 years, has bought the annual update of FIFA for his Play-box-500, or whatever it's called, for roughly the same price as CMANO, but X 5 years = total circa £250. As far as I can tell, each version is all but identical (save the odd new players 'added' here and there) and with each 'upgrade', the previous year's 50 quid's worth is rendered instantly obsolete. If one bears EA's business model in mind, it strikes me that CMANO has offered incredible value for money over the years.
Just my tuppence worth...

...
The discount code is ‘IGNGR-CMO-30P’
The code is valid from June 11th till June 25th
It only applies to digital versions of the game via the Matrix Store
Allegedly, it even applies to the recently released Aegean in Flames LIVE dlc
