Who knows, though I always thought that it was rather odd that OpenTTD was on Steam. I'm not sure whether that's because it is an open source remake or because you had to own the original for the graphics/sound assets back in the day. (Apparently that changed over 15 years ago!)

Even if Atari's lawyers were involved, it may have been a friendly exchange. The post claims that OpenTTD was available on Steam for 5 years. That is more than enough time for them to apply legal pressure. It's also worth noting that the open source version is still available from the project website, as are the open assets.

I'm not sure that advice is effective either.

I use an LLM as a learning tool. I'm not interested in it implementing things for me, so I always ignore its seemingly frantic desires to write code by ignoring the request and prompting it along other lines. It will still enthusiastically burst into code.

LLMs do not have emotions, but they seem to be excessively insecure and overly eager to impress.

That type of question could also turn people off. We already have too many discussions where people are quick to jump to conclusions and attribute intent, rather than asking basic questions.

The form stopped accepting input at five characters. I could not enter a "zip code" for my country even if I wanted to.

Even if they fixed that, there are other issues. (You pretty much need to cross-reference it with a database, which assumes said database even exists.)
