OpenTTD

“I remember the big change of OpenTTD when it became finally all free software.”

“The OpenTDD remake (which is great) carried that feature over too!”

“you can download it and play it as is right now, everything is included”

“OpenTTD and uTorrent were both built the same way.”

“This looks really good, I-wish-I-didn't-have-a-kid-good.”

“the code after 12.2 is just more complex with every version bump”

“A coal plant will happily pay millions of dollars for coal hauled from the far side of the map, despite there being a coal mine right next door.”

“The level of detail in the pixel art is ideal for the type of game it is.”

“It's impressive (again, at least to me) for its longevity if nothing else.”

“the economy is weirdly nonsensical”

“The games from 15-25 years ago are also great”

“And that's really great, but this model is ultimately not realistic for most game developers.”

“the thing I love about city builders/OpenTTD”

“I've tried a little OpenTTD and really enjoy it”

“Really glad to see their willingness to work together, instead of just torpedoing the open-source project”

“its installation is as simple as could be”

“Easiest of all is `pacman -S openttd`.”

“openTTD getting a cut of the money really does show that this is fully collaborative”

“there's this really cool modern source port you can get for free”

“The openTTD community has easily done 100x the work to extend the game.”

“all the improvements they've made over the years”

“I am very happy that this long stand grey area licensing situation around something I enjoy deeply has been resolved”

“the exact same game except better in every way”

“It should be held up as a good model for collaboration.”

“the spirit should be retained so younger folks can play it”

“This setup keeps OpenTTD community-run and independent, free to make decisions independent of a commercial agenda.”

“This is a much better compromise than usual in the gaming industry.”

“having to get an ancient game alongside the one you actually wanna play is stupid”

“cargodist was a good step and a nice approximation for a time, it's no match to the "destination in mind" pax”

“OpenTTD is the reason why atari can even think this rerelease would work.”

“They are all fun and overall I prefer to play games I can play in DOSBox over native games.”

“a game I truly love and have followed since before the 0.3 days”

“OpenTTD is so much superior in every way compared to the original TTD”

“It would suck if existing users had it deleted from their libraries.”

“They've spent the last 20+ years adding nice quality of life features and keeping the game playable”

“TTD and OpenTTD do not which incentivizes mechanisms to dump everyone at the edge of the map.”

“Clearly the rightsholders are not being total jerks since they're happy to allow an OpenTTD bundle”

“inconsistent coding styles, overly complex processes, unused(!) functions”

“Master Hellish has a video covering the new stuff if you're interested.”

“They have added a lot of new features and gameplay improvements.”
