Honestly fair and understandable. OpenTTD builds on TTD (it's right there in the name.)

You aren't forced to play OpenTTD and you aren't forced to get it on Steam/GoG.

It's acceptable.



OpenTTD now has a totally free asset pack covering everything, it doesn't need the original TTD at all.


"builds on" in concept and by using the same three letters. Not builds on in a legal sense


It’s tricky. It started out by disassembling the commercial binaries. There may not be any original code left, but it’s certainly not a clean room project.
