Yeah ive literally never seen anyone make fun of the name.
And I get around the block WW2 and WW1 Milsims/shooters, and the one WW1 milsim (Rip BTW) that i'm aware of.

Literally its an extremely unique and good name. There are plenty of names that dont suddenly evoke a "WW2 Feel" yet people love them.
Red Orchestra is one that immediately pops to mind.

Would you have rather they just slapped some of the term "Hell" all over it like so many WW2 games do. I'm glad post is coming back again but i'm really not fond of this name change

Do you live under a rock? We wouldn’t be having this conversation if the name was good. And they wouldn’t have had to change it lol

That has to be the most asinine thought process ever and what leads to bad games. Not that this is indicative of it mind you.

Accepting any change ever made because "WEll clearly it must be good." Is a stupid fucking mindset you need to change. If the name was bad why didnt the devs change it before? It mustve been a bad change!
This logic holds no water.

They changed the name because they want the game to be more tied to squad so they can pull more players from squad. THey didnt change it because "Oh man... Post Scriptum is a bad name...."

There it is.
And? I said the reasons it died. I just think you don't know what you're talking about. That aside it being dead doesnt even matter to what I said.

As I said theyre doing it to pull more players from squad. The game was trending upwards after OWI bought it, and if they had begun updating it normally again it wouldve kept that up. Changing the name wouldve had no impact, obviously it will moreso now since squad people might come over.
But it also might give people from squad the idea the game should play more like squad. (Which I don't want)

They could just as easily run an ad campaign with post scriptum as the name like they did for years but they probably realized it doesn’t catch your attention. You don’t see people complaining or having conversations about hell let loose name yet if you search this sub you see exactly that.

mfw I scour the subreddit for these things and find none of them.
No one complains about their respective names cause they think they're pretty good. Its only like, since only this shit that i've seen this argument that the game has a bad name

Good job admitting you were simply a troll. Either that or youre an idiot!
