Efforts like this always have me split. On one hand I appreciate them keeping old media going, on the other I wish their efforts would go towards an open source clone/variant instead of propping up a neglected property from a giant company.

Especially when said company could abruptly change with different management and start trying to shut down their activities.

I agree. Openttd and rct2 are the path to take.
