Transport Tycoon available to play at Gamescom

Not entirely sure if this is worthy of a thread but it doesn't seem to fit in any other thread very well.

#TransportTycoon is heading to Gamescom! Stop by the UKIE Booth in Hall 4.2 and be the first to get a hands-on demo of the game!

My day was going well, until I saw Transport Tycoon after a pound sign. Hashtaging is pointless desecration of a symbol that already has a use, and is something I will never accept. If you support the re-assigned meaning of the pound sign, do the world a favor and knock it off.

I don't mean you any offense, I just feel so strongly about this idiotic thing that you're all just going to let happen.

Transport Tycoon 2013 looks fantastic, and I hope to play it on PC soon.

Let me point out that the # symbol had been used for a similar purpose since 1988 on IRC.

My day was going well, until I saw the hash sign referred to as the "pound sign". This is a pound sign: £.

I thought that was the mythical "any" key as in "The poor man in rags went about town asking gentlemen if they had any to spare."

Nonsense! Hence why most of the world calls it poundtagging and not hashtagging!

Hashtagging defined by Urban Dictionary. (definition 2 is more accurate)

Everyone but the British call it a pound sign.

(On a British Keyboard, is your currency symbol SHIFT+4?)
