News Summary:

On March 20, 2026, the *OpenTTD* development team urged users to temper their negative reactions toward Atari regarding the open-source game's removal from platforms like Steam and GOG, clarifying that *OpenTTD* maintains its full independence and remains available for free. This action stemmed from Atari's commercial re-release of *Transport Tycoon Deluxe*, the 1995 business simulation game developed by Chris Sawyer. Earlier the same day, *OpenTTD* developers provided an update on the store changes, addressing misinformation and confirming that Atari contributes server funding to the *OpenTTD* project. This followed a March 13 warning to users about a limited window to acquire *OpenTTD* for free on Steam as Atari prepared to bring *Transport Tycoon Deluxe* back to market. Separately, on March 9, Atari and Nightdive Studios announced plans for a Nintendo Switch 2 version of *Blood: Refreshed Supply*, scheduled for early 2026, alongside a *Death Wish* update expansion for the existing game.

OpenTTD asks people to please stop being mad at Atari for forcing the game off Steam: 'OpenTTD as a project retains its full independence,' and you can still get it for free

We warned you last week that the window was closing on OpenTTD, the open source remake of Transport Tycoon Deluxe that was, until quite recently—we warned you, bro—available for free on Steam and GOG. The reason, the OpenTTD team explained, was the imminent return of the real Transport Tycoon Deluxe, the 1995 business sim developed by Chris Sawyer, which Atari was bringing back as a commercial product.

You've got a narrow window to nab OpenTTD on Steam for free, because Transport Tycoon Deluxe has just been un-abandonwared by Atari

The figure of the tycoon is tarnished these days. All the people who are killing the planet lay claim to the label—with their billions of dollars and Antarctic ice palaces and greasel armies. But it wasn't always that way! Time was, the word tycoon brought to mind halcyon memories of afternoons at The Computer, connecting up railroads, rollercoasters, and sometimes pizza for some reason.
