Just saw this announcement on the Battlefront homepage:

"We are moving!
Battlefront.com News
Thursday, 28 June 2018

At long, long last Battlefront is making the move to a brand new website and hosting service.  This old site has served us well for many years, but let's face it... it looks like it's served us for many years!  We're happy to finally get this transition under way.

During the transition this website will remain live, however the store portion is shut down.  All existing customer data, including orders and associated license keys, is being moved over to the new site.  This means when the transition concludes you'll be able to pick up where you left off.

Thank you for your patience and support!"

I was just going to post the same thing after reading that license keys and customer data is being moved.

Sounds like another DRM abortion in the works. Lucky thing for me that I've given up on their games.  8)

After playing and having too much fun with the random operations generator for CM Beyond Overlord from GOG last year, I reinstalled and patched CM Afrika Korps and CM Barbarossa to Berlin from my old CDs recently, too. I appreciate the fidelity of the newer CM games, but keep going back to CM1 games for the random operations feature.

I hope the Battlefront transition to a new website and hosting service goes smoothly. I'm also curious to see who ends up with the old website Battlefront.com. It won't surprise me if EA gobbles it up for their Star Wars FPS game.

I actually hope their may finally be a sale once they update the website? So I can nab the modules I have not got.
Or perhaps they will charge us an update fee to use the website :P (seriously though, I am very happy that they update their old games to new feature standard).

the sad news behind the news is:

The unavoidable hick-ups that will came with the transition and the clearing up operation to sort them out
will delay all planed releases by 6 month minimum   ???

I don't think they are changing the name of the website or getting a new domain.  That's not typically how it works.

One thing on the Steam front...BFC has always fancied itself as a distributer.  It has always had a stable of games from independent developers.  I suspect that Steve sees Steam as competition as much as anything.

Did they post this or is this your expectation ?

Why would they need a new URL?
