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.

Re: Transport Tycoon available to play at Gamescom
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.Acela Wolf wrote:My day was going well, until I saw Transport Tycoon after a pound sign.

My day was going well, until I saw the hash sign referred to as the "pound sign". This is a pound sign: £.Acela Wolf wrote:My day was going well, until I saw Transport Tycoon after 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."orudge wrote:My day was going well, until I saw the hash sign referred to as the "pound sign". This is a pound sign: £.

Nonsense! Hence why most of the world calls it poundtagging and not hashtagging!orudge wrote:My day was going well, until I saw the hash sign referred to as the "pound sign".

Re: Transport Tycoon available to play at Gamescom
Hashtagging defined by Urban Dictionary. (definition 2 is more accurate)
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hashtag
Everyone but the British call it a pound sign.
(On a British Keyboard, is your currency symbol SHIFT+4?)
