It's a fact that if you want to stand out in a thriving creative industry, you need a memorab♑le name. But sometimes game companies go so far with the quirk that their names become meaningless, ambiguous, or jꦆust plain weird. Inspired by this age-old fact (and partly by), we got thinking about the devs and publishers whose names imply a very differenttypes of business from what they actually are. And we thought of quite a few.
What's that? You want to know what we came up with? Oh, okay then, this. This is what we came up with. Sorry, 𝓡but you did ask...
Monolith Productions
Really are:The makers ofthe rather excell𒊎ent F.E.A.R. series.
But could also be :A manufacturer ofgarden ornaments for druids and hippie-𝓰types𒊎.
Climax Entertainment
Really are:A Japanese studio, most famous for the classic Shiꦅning Force RPG series.
But could also be:A porn label. This one's also applicable to publisher Koch Media, depending on how you choose to pronounce the companyꦐ's name.
Banpresto
Really are:A long-standing Japanese dev, now asubsidiary of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Namco Bandai Games.
But could also be: A hardline disciplinary board for magicians.
Activision
Really are:The mega-sizeable publisher of the Caꦜll of Duty and Guitar H🌟ero franchises.
But could also be: A series of keep-fit videos.
Infinity Ward
Really are: The curre𝕴ntly-troubled developer of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare series.
But could also be: A building cꦗontractor specialising in really big hospitals.
Other ones we thought of
Platinum Games: Manufacturers of🌠 reaꦅlly expensive, high-classboard games made entirely out of precious metals.
Valve Corporation: A plumbing supplies outfit.
Llamasoft: A plush toy manufacturer, supplying exclu💧sivelyto zoo and safari park gift shops.
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Naughty Dog: A pet discipline school.
Core design: A freelance engineering team specialising in the🌊 building of nuclear power plants.
Splash Damage: An outsourcing supply service for be🌱aches and swimming⭕ pools in need of life guards, due to accident or injury.
So that's our thoroughly silly morning's work. But what about your ideas? Are there any devs, publishers, or hell, even individuals in the games industry whose names you think imply a whole different sideline? Be asridiculous and obscure as you want (hey, we're leading by example here), let us know about them in the comments or via our portals onand, and if we get enough ideas, we might run a follow-up feature.
