SpecsUpdate
Pros
Pro Works in many Operating System and old Operating System
The OpenTTD is work in many operating systems because it uses Simple DirectMedia Layer. You can compile the source code manually, to Android, iOS, OS/2, FreeBSD, Windows, Mac, Linux, OpenBSD, and more. This includes old operating systems, like Windows 95, and Windows 98.
Cons
Con Online does not work cross versions
Old versions can't play online or LAN with newer versions of the game. So for those that prefer using an older version, or just have not updated, they will have to make sure those they want to play with online have the exact same version (or one that is compatible).
Con Inconvenient AI installation
In order to get an AI up and running, you have to download a mod to then install it to the game. This may be too much trouble for some people who are not familiar with installing mods, or just more time than they would like to spend on seeing an AI present in the game.
Con Can be boring when playing alone
Due to the length of the win conditions and how long it takes to achieve things in the game, it can get a bit boring after much time spent. This is also true of the stock gameplay element, while mods can definitely help, what comes with the game out of the box can get old after a while.
