OpenTTD Went to Steam to Solve a Hard Problem (boilingsteam.com)

I've been using OpenTTD from Flathub for quite some time and had no problems so far. https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/org.openttd.OpenTTD


tl;dr: The problem of providing updates across different Linux distros, independent of package maintainers (and on Windows too). Also, as a bonus, "a plethora of new servers are available to play OpenTTD online" (I'm not clear on if this is directly related to Steam: are Valve providing these servers, or is it just a side effect of increased popularity and more users choosing to host servers?)
