German law differs from the US in many ways, but a Limited Liability Company operates under very loose rules regarding ownership and governance which are fine for a small business but make it quite unattractive to investors. Forming a proper corporation and changing the name from "ABC LLC" to "ABC Inc", which is just about the same thing as bitComposer has done, also means that the company structure has changed and that is now required to observe the laws appliying to corporations, many of which exist to protect shareholders and investors.

So, yes, when investing in a company the last few letters of the name do make a big difference.

As for changing 'games' to 'entertainment', it allows the new (and expensive to form) corporation to branch out into related fields in the future without dragging an inaccurate corporate name along with them. If you were investing in a film project being proposed by a "Games" company then you would naturally be worried that they don't have the skills and experience to pull it off. That's the kind of thing that an "Entertainment" company does instead.

Just take away the pavlovian stat system and there'll be much less of an incentive to cheat.

Yeah, because people never cheated in games without stats. I don't remember a single cheater in CS or Quake or...

Wait, no, none of that is true.

Over 30 years ago I was eating a hostess cupcake as I walked through a back passageway at the power plant I worked in.I took the paper that the cupcake was on and slapped it aginst the wall where it stuck for no less then 4 years.I retired last year and before I left for the last time I took a walk through the area and there was still a circle on the cement wall from that cupcake after more that 30 years.Lets see some health food beat that.

There's only one other top secret jaw dropping unannounced game I still know about. That one was in concept exploration when I heard about it, so I don't even know if it ever moved beyond that. It's one of the few games I think would create the same excitement this announcement does.
