Even just putting up older games will give them a larger market looking at them. If people like what they see, then they can look to see if there is anything new.

Whether or not you survive as a game producer is determined by sustained sales. Does not matter if a handful of people don't like this site or that platform. Matters where they can get more people to see their product.

Yes at first game designer should profit from sales and from player perspective, handful of people should be able to buy. Able to buy is simple. Better currency according to where they're from. Steam is very popular because of that. Not about simple to use or mod support. From what I see there is only a few Russian players whole lot of American players playing East Front games. Bit of an irony.[:)]

I tried to install again my old HPS Kursk'43 on my computer, patched 1.08, and it works fine, but i can't find anymore the Volcano website, where there was wonderful graphic mods for all panzer campaigns games. Have all these mods disappeared from the internet?

HPS versions (those games that could be bought on the HPS website and can still be bought there) are no longer supported. There are plenty of new official patches for these wargames but they are available on the JTS website. The games are now called JTS games. These patches officially include Volcano mods and some other extra stuff as well (e.g. extra scenarios, improved graphics).

As far as Kursk '43 is concerned, the latest JTS Kursk '43 is version "Gold 2.02"

You can check the updates and what they contain here but they are only for JTS versions, they won't work with your HPS titles:

Actually, if I were you, I'd contact JTS support; it's quite likely that they would send you a new serial and a download link for the JTS version of Kursk '43 as long as you can provide them with some sort of proof that you bought the game legally (e.g. its serial, order number, etc). Why don't you talk to them?

I picked up 31 titles during the sale, quite pleased.

31 titles?????? How the heck are you going to play them all plus did you hit the lottery?
