Anymore besides the one mentioned in the article? I think BGA is probably the best know one

Don't know why the article doesn't mention it but: tabletop simulator. It costs like 10-15 to buy but there are a lot of very big games that are fully implemented and automated in it.

My group's done Oceans, Betrayal at House on the Hill, Arkham Horror LCG, Eldritch Horror, that dungeon boss card game, The Inis, So You've Been Eaten, and they've all been pretty good. Especially if automated.

The implementations for Outer Rim that I've tried were a bit clunky, mostly lacking snap areas for cards and their discard piles.

But I did a full playthrough of Gloomhaven during the pandemic, which works extremely well and is the top-rated item in the workshop for a reason.

Eh, I’d rather play the steam version of gloomhaven because it runs it all for you and is punishing as fuck. The way it’s meant to be played.

I have seen a number of boardgames playtested in TTS. I am pretty sure we played Thunder Road on TTS which then spurred me to back it on Kickstarter.

Good point. Its not my favorite gaming experience but works well enough and is great for prototyping

I also want to throw Tabletop Playground in the mix. It's like TTS but has a better user experience, and they didn't disable global chat because someone talked about being trans like TTS did.
