I think it should be noted that this game data is not only available on
Steam, though. Did other games (OpenTTD before free content) note the
availability of game data on abandonware sites in their README?

For future reference: “Since OpenXcom depends on the original game data,
it also suffers from bugs present in that data like map glitches and
problems. To fix these you need to apply a data patch.”.
