Worth mentioning to anyone who is excited for a possible new version of this title but hates AAA ethics, OpenTTD is FOSS and pretty good.

Alternatively if you'd like a modern take on this, Mashinky is super good and was made by a 1-man studio. It's also beautiful. (And multiplayer!)

The first thing that crossed my mind is that they might try to cancel OpenTTD. Chris Sawyer reportedly wasn't too happy about OpenTTD but didn't too much against it, maybe recognising that it is a fan tribute. Nobody can expect that of Ataris's corporate lawyers.

This comment makes me sad because you are probably right. Mashinky it is!
