  "textContent": "> What do you mean by \"rip off\"?\n\nNobody's complaining about them selling TT. But they are forcing you to buy a product you do not want or need just to get a free product that someone else created in your library - including of course to the many of us who already own TT (like a lot here I actually even own it twice ... or thrice maybe, I'd have to check, but of course that's ignored ^^). If that's not ripping people off I don't know what is ...\n\nMaybe if Atari actually pays some devs to help develop OpenTTD we can talk about this being fair ^^\n\n\n> Truth be told, the sheer fact the OpenTTD exists and how good it is likely impeded any \"official\" sequel from appearing after Locomotion\n\nTransport Fever 3 is about to come out; it's incredibly successful, and at its core very similar to TT design philosophies. Naturally it innovates - mainly through 3D graphics - but that's kinda the point of making a game after all; no reason to just make a 1:1 clone.\n\nWe see this with OpenRCT and the various park games too, or with Caesar 3 Julius and various Impression-style clones. These games keep genres alive, developers or publishers notice there's an audience, then they produce games. imo OpenTTD helps more than it hinders, certainly nowadays.\n\nStatistics: Posted by Pyoro — 17 Mar 2026 09:40\n\n* * *",
