So it looks like there isn't a talk page yet, so I thought I'd create one... I'm going to try and make a minor update to change "is developed by" to "was developed by" Hajo. It's been a year since the move to the new forum, so it's probably time. He is still the Father of Simutrans, just not a *current* developer... Isaac.Eiland-Hall 05:40, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Open source

freeware (but not open source)

Is it really necessary to state in the opening paragraph that the game isn't open source? It comes across as a criticism, like we're bashing the author for not making it open source. I could understand the qualifier if open source was the norm, but at the moment I believe there are far more closed source freeware games in existence than open source ones. 217.155.20.163 23:51, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Very few free-but-not-open games are of the same advanced level of development and complexity as Simutrans. Jpatokal 15:56, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
