thinking about buying Trainz 2010 but some questions first.

This would be helpful but what columns do you have to view in CM to see the blue dot so you know if it's compatible with TS 2009/2010? I have build 42203 of TS 2010 (CM 3.2)

Right on the Asset icon. If it has a blue-dot, it's 100% TS2010 compatible and works okay.

Does this mean that I would still be able to Play the game if Auran ever went out of business? I recall seeing on earlier posts that you always needed an internet connection in order to play. I had always been curious.I would be dissapointed if I discovered that I could no longer even play if Auran went out of business.

If you bought the game from Auran, yes, you could still play it for the rest of your life. If you bought the Steam version you'd be completely out of luck, either if they went out of business and also if they simply decided to just stop supporting it. This has already happened with some big-name music services including Yahoo and MSN.

DRM is a form of forced obsolescence.
