Morrigan Stark
Arrogant Smirk
Yeah haha I hate that. What were they thinking? Must be something where a generic English word sounds exotic to their ears or something. Can't really think of anything else.

Oh god is that real?
I dislike this because it's so forced and 343 Guilty Spark is also a dick, why would you want to be named after that?
I recall reading somewhere that they (From Software) actually developed office software, wasn't it?

Ubiquitous
Grasshopper Manufacture
It's probably a play on "Hello World." A simple function that prints Hello World is basically #1 step to learning programming.
I don't mind From Software but CD Projekt Red is just weird and doesn't make any sense to me.

Is there a single name that can live up to GAF's impossible standards?

Yeah From Software takes the prize.
"The new game from From Software"
"From From Software comes this exciting new game..."
"Oh, this game? It's from From Software"
I think Naughty Dog worked well when they made stuff like Crash. Now thet they make games like Uncharted and The Last of Us it kind of doesn't fit

From the French Wikipedia, it's a combination of 2 French words : "informatique " and "programme". Info-grame. One M is dropped.

At least it makes sense when you look at the history of the studio.
Then they made a game and called it Warface instead of Warcry.
Ah okay! Yeah that makes sense then, I think the lack of the second M makes it look just plain wrong.

I guess couple pages more, and every game company will be named here.

Climax.
Because all of their output is anything but.

Despite their pedigree "Naughty Dog" has such a stupid name and logo. I feel like it's one of those names where their success was not at all predicted when a couple of guys in the late 80s / early 90s came up with some "random" name in two seconds and now they're stuck with it 20 years later....
(Also this thread is so obviously people just saying STUDIOS they don't like rather than names....)

The Bearded Ladies Consultancy.
And yes that is their real name and also a a real games studio. Not in anyway related to women with any facial hair issues.

CD Projekt - Perfect name for a mostly PC (re-)publisher at the time and place of creation. It's a business project which involves selling CD-ROMs. Duh.
How do you make any sensible studio name that starts with CD Projekt? I don't really think you can. "RED" was possibly the shortest thing that wasn't horrible.
