List View
- Maybe be able to show more games on a page by adjusting columns to width of your display
- Maybe have a less graphical view where its just a list of names as text with prices / buy button



Personally I like what is done by Osprey Publishing. See this page:
https://ospreypublishing.com/store/military-history/series-books

1. You have the possibility to select Grid or List view
2. You have the possibility to show X product per page

Status: offline 		Thanks for all the feedback. I've made a list of it all. As a priority we're going to move the Sort button from the bottom of the filter list to top of the product list so its more visible and more obvious it does not pull you out of the current list. The other thing we'll do is add sort options for price and discount level so you can see the best deals at a glance.

The rest are on the list, but its a long list fighting for attention!

I have FlashpointRed Storm Players Edition. Any point in getting the expansion or is that not necessary?

OK so suggested improvements for the web page

Sort Order
- Price lowest to highest & vice versa
- Maybe also discount % highest to lowest

List View
- Maybe be able to show more games on a page by adjusting columns to width of your display
- Maybe have a less graphical view where its just a list of names as text with prices / buy button

Filter
- Add new filter which lets you search by OS. The biggest issue here is that data is not really there. Tech specs are a text field not actual data so we'd need to develop a completely new system for that which would be a substantial amount of work.

Does this cover it or does any one have anything else or something I missed?


For me that would be already very good :)
For the "list" view, I would suggest you to inspire simply from your pdf ;)

For the OS filter : it would be more convenient (and you would be sure to not make any mistake in purchasing a game), but here it's more on your side to see if it's really worth the work on it. Reading what you say, I would suggest to "think about it, and try to update it one day", but there's no urge.

Thank you again for taking all of that in account ! That's a huge lot of work indeed. And glad to see already some things coming like sorting with discount :) Personally, like for games (and updates), I don't mind when things take times if that means they are nicely done ;)

Btw, I'm taking the opportunity to say that now, the only main thing that I miss compared to the old site, on the main page, is a kind of a "text/condensed list" (with clickable links) with more news (and maybe the beginning of the included text of each news) to see more in a glance, instead of the 4 thumbs. But don't worry too much, here it's maybe only me :B

Except that nitpick from me, the whole update of the website is good ! So congratulation for the (hard) work to the team ;)
And thanks for this sale with very good discounts !

Status: offline 		Please clarify the pricing. Are the sale prices only for the downloadable version or for the CD? When I added WiTP admirals ed. to my shopping cart I noticed a box to click under it for downloadable and hard copy for an additional amount. Just want to be sure of what I am getting for the sale price. I would want a CD and box so is it really $10 more for that? (Still a great deal. just need clarification)
thanks

Sorry if that's not clear. All prices are the digital price and all discounts only apply to the digital price. We cant actually discount the cost of the physical upgrade as that's what it costs us to do (print on demand is unfortunately not cheap) so any discount would mean we lose money if you upgrade to a box. The price of the upgrade varies but a rough guide is +$10 for a box without manual, +$15 for a box and manual and +$20 for hard backed books and some other special editions.

Status: offline 		When the sale 1st came out, I noticed that the prices were also reflected in the Steam store, but now I just checked (was looking to add Strategic Command:WIE) and the prices on Steam are back to normal. Was the prices on Steam only for a limited time, a mistake and should always have been higher, or the current prices on Steam are a mistake and the sale should still be active?
