Dumbest Game Studio Names?

The standout ones that come to mind are "Epic Games", "From Software", "Nippon Ichi (Japan is no1?) Software" and "Dontnod Entertainment".

Any other examples?

If you think Epic Games is bad they used to be Epic MegaGames. But they picked Epic before it was a meme sort of thing anyway so I give them a pass. I also just call them "Epic".

While I love their games I've always been a bit annoyed by the name thatgamecompany.

may be people will rain on me.. but I think From Software is a pretty dumb name.. it makes too much confusions when talking about it
 
From Software makes no god damn sense to me.

thatgamecompany. The name combined with the stylized writing of it is the most pretentious game company name I've ever seen.

If I ever post something in Japanese which I don't understand, please BAN me.
From Software

Also Boss Key sounds fucking stupid.

TNN - Think about Needs of Notice for human being, the original team behind Umihara Kawase.

Dumbest or GREATEST?

Team Ico. Wow. So innovative. Team Dark Souls, Team GTA, Team Fifa. See? I can do it too.

Yeah, but they aren't a game studio.

They are SCE Japan Studio (Product Development Department #1?) and the group of staffers that made ICO got 'Team Ico' as a nickname, but the staffers switch around on other projects within SCE Japan Studio.

It's a bit like 'Team Zelda' at Nintendo EAD. More of a nickname.
 
Just had a look through my Steam library on list mode. Coffee stain studios: unimaginative. There are some that are silly, or ask more questions but I wouldn't really call those dumb.
That never was their name. They never had an official studio name other that Japan Studio.
I heard a joke that they called themselves Team Olympic internally because they released a game every four years. So much for that.

Sorry for whoever named it.
Jaffe studio wasn't it? I guess it was his name.

Any studio name that has the name of a city in it. Really generic and if you decide to move then your studio name doesn't even work anymore.
 
Thatgamestudio takes it IMO.

From Software is endearing... something out of the earl 90s or similar. Thatgamestudio sounds pretentious as shit.

Certain Affinity. I remember the huge amount of confusion when Bungie announced that "A certain affinity will be doing the maps for Halo:Reach" :D

Naughty Dog and Thatgamecompany are pretty terrible. Chair Entertainment and People Can Fly too.
