    Yeah, I think basically the only reason why Transport Tycoon is in the news now-a-days is because they’re releasing a new edition of Transport Tycoon. And in preparation for that (basically to shut down who they see as “competition”), they’re fucking over everyone they view as potential competition.

      Perhaps that’s why I don’t work in marketing, but that would buy so much goodwill and interest from the early fans if they were just embracing it. The first game is very lovable, and people loving it would probably have a look at the new one and that’s essentially free advertising. The only reason I see them doing this is because they know already that it’s bad, like, very bad.
