        Often projects like this will have a name that suggests a relationship to a commercial product but officially does not use any trademarks.

              Omfg, don’t act so dull. OpenTTD is an asset-compatible reimplementation of Transport Tycoon Deluxe. The string “Transport Tycoon Deluxe” is in the source code/resources, it is right on the top of the projects website:

                Yeah it’s almost like they’re very intentionally making their project legally distinct by calling it just “OpenTTD” instead of spelling it out. Please don’t call me dull when you are apparently too fucking stupid to grasp this very common practice in fan projects.

                  What started this thread:

                  I think the TTD actually doesn’t stand for anything

                  TTD clearly stands for Transport Tycoon Deluxe, and openly so. The entire and only point I made is exactly that.

                  Right now you’re just an insufferable prick and try to be right by shifting the topic.
