This is the trouble with namespace collision. It's like making an "Apple Game Jam" that's actually only about fruit. People are going to reach for the most immediate correlation they can get, and when you read "Deck" and "Game" in the same sentence most people will probably think Valve. Heck, I don't even own a Deck and when I saw "Decker" my mind skipped the Hypercard correlation and thought it was a new name Deck owners called themselves. I'd forgive people that came in with maligned expectations :p
- righthand 3y agoEspecially if you can’t be bothered to click the link before commenting and assume that only corporations can own a word. When I read Decker I thought it might be related to Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and be side stories about Deckard.
- smoldesu 3y agoGiven that "Decker" is not a real word, I'm not quite sure what you're expecting out of people here. The title is about as ambiguous as it can be and doesn't communicate anything about itself besides "Deck" and "Decker". When you leave that much to the imagination, people will be confused. Even people like me, who had seen Decker before and know about Hypercard enthusiasts.
